23
Q

located on either side of your uterus.

A

Ovaries

24
Q

A

“menarche”.

28
Q

The time between the first day of the
period and ovulation. Estrogen rises
as an egg prepares to be released.

A

Follicular Phase

29
Q

After the period, the uterine lining
builds back up again.

A

Proliferative
Phase

30
Q

The time between ovulation and before the
start of menstruation, when the body
prepares for a possible pregnancy.
Progesterone is produced, peaks, and then
drops.

A

Luteal Phase

31
Q

The uterine lining produces chemicals that will
either help support an early pregnancy or will
prepare the lining to break down and shed if
pregnancy doesn’t occur.

A

Secretory Phase

32
Q

important role in sexual and reproductive development

A

estrogen

33
Q

facilitates the implantation of the fertilized egg

A

progesterone

34
Q

facilitates ovulation

A

LH

35
Q

stimulates follicular reproduction

A

FSH

36
Q

is designed for the production and
delivery of sperm for fertilization of the female’s ovum.

A

male sexual anatomy

37
Q

Foreskin covering head of penis.

A

Prepuce

38
Q

Glans (head), shaft, and root., During arousal, these engorged with blood, resulting in erection.

A

Penis

39
Q

Sac that encloses the two compartments housing

in testes.

A

Scrotum

40
Q

Found on head of penis; this is the end of tube connected
to bladder and used for urination.

Q

Travels from testicle toward urethra carrying
sperm.

45
Q

Two glands that produce alkaline fluid rich in
fructose sugar, comprising 70% of semen
volume. Alkaline nature may stimulate sperm to
start self-propulsion and sugar may provide
sperm nutrients.

A

Seminal Vesicle

46
Q

Connects vas deferens to urethra.

A

Ejaculatory Duct

47
Q

Gland producing alkaline secretions that account
for about 30% of semen volume.

A

Prostate

48
Q

Tube within penis that carries sperm and semen
the rest of the way to the opening of the penis.

is the major male
hormone produced mainly by the
testes.

A
