A&P exam 4 Flashcards
what cells make testosterone
leydic cells= interstitial
what hormones regulate spermatogenesis
FSH and testosterone
what cations are found in ECF
Na+
what anions are found in ECF
Cl
what cations are found in ICF
K+
what anion is found in ICF
hydrogen phosphate
what is interstitial fluid composition similar to for ions
plasma
if blood osmolality increases, what happens to thirst
thirst is triggered = release ADH
what happens if osmolality decreases
inhibits thirst= no ADH release
ADH role
tells kidney to reabsorb water
where is aldosterone released from
adrenal cortex, a steroid hormone
ANP targets
hypothalamus to inhibit ADH, kidneys to release renin, adrenal cortex to inhibit aldosterone
where are osmoreceptors found
hypothalamus
where are baroreceptors found
large vessels on posterior pituitary
what does ADH cause
water reabsorption from kidneys, reduce urine volume, decrease Na+ concentration, increase ECF osmolality
what does ADH lead to
raised plasma volume and decrease ECF osmolality
ANP primary role
inhibit kidney collecting ducts, shuts off mechanism that increases BP
if BP is increased what will happen
ANP levels increase = decrease blood volume to restore BP levels
what type of urine do aldosterone and ADH form
concentrated urine
what type of urine does ANP form
large amount of dilute urine b/c less sodium and water reabsorbed
what part of the penis fills for erection
corpus cavernosum
what happens for ejaculation
contraction of ducts and glands that produce seminal fluid to cause muscle contraction
where does spermatogensis occur
seminiferous tubules
how long does spermatogenesis take
74 days
where are sperm stored
cauda epidiymis and vas deferens
steps of meosis and mitosis
what happens after meiosis 1
46 (2n) chromosomes converted to 23 chromosomes (n)
2 types of spermatogonia
Ap= lighter color, less dense
Ad= regenerate, darker, denser
Ap give rise to type B
where are Leydig cells located
near seminiferous tubules
where is FSH released from
pituitary gland
what does FSH do
causes sertolic cells to produce androgen binding protein; also increases # LH receptors causing more testosterone to be produced= maintain spermatogensis
Gonadotropin releasing hormone
hypothalamic hormone, when released goes to anterior pituitary; produces LH and FSH
phases of spermiogenic sperm production
- golgi: starts growing flagella, lots of cytoplasm
- cap: head emerges from acrosomal granule
- acrosome: nucleus becomes longer and forms distinct head cap and acrosome
- maturation: finishing differentiation to produce mature sperm
phases of spermatogenesis
proliferative: making B spermatogonia by mitosis
meiotic: begins w/ primary spermatocytes > 1st meiotic division>secondary spermatocytes > 2nd meiotic division
spermiogenic phase: spermatids undergo differentiation to make mature sperm
capacitation of sperm
in female reproductive tract, removal of decapaciting factor that allows sperm to have hyperactive motility, bind to zona pellucida, weakens acrosomal membranes
cowper’s glamd
5% semen, clear fluid, mucoproteins, lubrication
prostate gland
15-30% ejaculate, produces PSA to help activate sperm motility, Ca, Zn
seminal vesicle
45-80% semen, fructose and prostaglandins, coagulation semen
