Q

Primary Sex Organs

A

Organs responsible for producing gametes

24
Q

Secondary sex organs

A

Organs that do not produce gametes but are still necessary for reproduction (e.g. penis and vagina)

25
Q

Secondary sex characteristics

A

Sexual dimorphism not used for reproduction (e.g. facial hair, enlarged breasts)

26
Q

Interstitial Cells (Male reproductive)

Q

Seminiferous tubules

A

The location where sperm is produced

29
Q

Which ligament suspends the uterus laterally?

A

Suspensory ligament

30
Q

Which arteries supply blood to the endometrium?

A

Spiral arteries

31
Q

When do mammary glands mainly develop?

A

During pregnancy

Q

Pampiniform Plexus

A

Blood vessels in the spermatic cord/ovary’s suspensory ligament

Cools the scrotum

33
Q

Cremaster Muscle

A

Muscle that pulls the testes closer to the body for warmth

34
Q

Acrosome

A

Enzymes at the head of a sperm used to dissolve the tunica of a ovum

Q

Prostoglandins

A

Lipids that thin out cervical mucus

Secreted by seminal vesicles

39
Q

A

Adhesive protein that causes semen to adhere to the cervical wall rather than exiting the body following sex

Produced by prostate

40
Q

Capacitation

A

The process that makes it possible for the sperm to penetrate the ova

41
Q

Cleavage

A

Cell division of zygote during the first 3 days after conception

Cells in the endometrium that the embryo uses for nutrition during the first 8 weeks of development

45
Q

Somites

A

Portions of the mesoderm that will eventually give rise to the spine, muscles of the trunk, and dermis/subcutaneous tissue
