25
Why do the blood supplies not mix ?
The pressure would be too great for the baby
26
How is the placenta adapted for efficient exchange of substances ?
* it has lots of capillaries * short distance for diffusion * large surface area * high concentration gradient between the mother and the fetus
27
What is a period ?
when the lining of the uterus sheds from the woman's body
28
What is a follicle ?
A fluid filled sack that contains an egg 🍳
29
What does oestrogen bring about ?
* The repairing and thickening of the uterus lining * development of the secondary sexual characteristics
30
What happens to the follicle after it releases an egg ?
It forms a structure in the ovary called a corpus luteum.
31
Does a corpus luteum do ?
It makes a hormone called progesterone
32
What does progesterone do ?
Maintains the uterus lining
33
What takes over the corpus luteum later on in the pregnancy and secretes progesterone ?
The placenta
34
What is puberty ?
The time that secondary sexual characteristics occur
35
What controls the development of secondary sexual characteristics ?
Hormones
36
two types of reproduction
sexual and asexual
37
What is the male hormone involved in the development of secondary sexual characteristics ?
Testosterone
38
What is the female hormone involved in the development of secondary sexual characteristics ?
Oestrogen
39
Secondary sexual characteristics in boys
* Voice deepens * sperm production begins * shoulders broaden * body and pubic hair develops * genitalia growth * possible mood swings and acne
40
Secondary sexual characteristics in girls
* menstrual cycle begins * pelvis broadens in preparation for pregnancy * body and pubic hair develop * breasts, hips and thighs become larger
41
Describe what happens at the time of puberty
At the time of puberty, the reproductive organs become active and the body takes on its adult form
42
Sex cell are also known as (1)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and are produced by the process of (2)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. When fertilization occurs, a single cell is formed called a (3)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. This single cell then divides by (4)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ to become an (5)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. Offspring of sexual reproduction have genes from both parents and this results in (6) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
1. gametes 2. meiosis 3. zygote 4. mitosis 5. embryo 6. variation
43
which type of reproduction involves only one parent?
asexual reproduction
44
Compare sexual and asexual reproduction
* sexual reproduction causes variation. Asexual reproduction produces clones, therefore no variation * one parent needed in asexual reproduction. two parents are needed in sexual reproduction * asexual reproduction is a rapid process. Sexual reproduction is slow as it involves many more stages. * sexual reproduction results in a slow increase in populations. Asexual reproduction results in rapid increase in populations * Offspring from sexual reproduction are dispersed over wide areas while those of asexual reproduction remain close to the parent.
45
The primary sexual characteristics in girls are (1)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ovaries and the primary sexual characteristics in boys are (2)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
1. ovaries 2. testes

Describe the timing of puberty and the order and rate of the changes
The timing of puberty and the order and rate of the changes varies, but the basic changes are the same for everyone
47
functions of the sperm duct

50
Function of the penis
The penis places sperm into the vagina
51
The male reproductive organs
The male reproductive organs are: 1. The testes 2. The scrotum 3. The sperm duct 4. The seminal vesicle 5. The prostate gland 6. The urethra 7. The penis
52
function of the fallopian tube (oviduct)
The fallopian tube (oviduct) is where the egg travels to the uterus and may be fertilised
53
function of the ovary
The ovary is where eggs mature
54
function of the cervix
The cervix is the entrance to the uterus

The female reproductive organs are: 1. The fallopian tube (oviduct) 2. The ovary 3. The uterus 4. The cervix 5. The vagina
58
The main female reproductive hormone
The main female reproductive hormone is oestrogen
59
What do rising oestrogen levels do?
Rising oestrogen levels trigger the development of the female secondary sexual characteristics
60
Rising oestrogen levels trigger the development of :
1. A growth spurt 2. The growth of hair under the arms and pubic hair 3. The breasts develop 4. The external genitals grow and the skin darkens 5. A female pattern of fat is deposited on the hips, buttocks and thighs
61
Once a girl has gone through puberty, what will she have?
Once a girl has gone through puberty, she will have a monthly menstrual cycle
62
Once a girl has gone through puberty, she will have a monthly menstrual cycle. Each month, eggs begin to mature in the ovary. What happens at the same time?
At the same time, the uterus produces a thickened lining ready for a pregnancy
63
Ovulation
Ovulation is the release of a mature egg (ovum) from the ovary
64
Every 28 days, a mature egg is released. What happens if the egg is not fertilised?
If the egg is not fertilised, around 14 days later, the lining of the uterus is shed along with the egg This is the monthly period and this also takes place at approximately 28-day intervals
65
What are involved in controlling the menstrual cycle?
Several hormones are involved in controlling the menstrual cycle: 1. FSH 2. LH 3. Oestrogen and progesterone
66
What does FSH stand for?
FSH stands for follicle stimulating hormone
67
What does LH stand for?
LH stands for luteinising hormone
68
The main male reproductive hormone
The main male reproductive hormone is testosterone, produced by the testes
69
Testosterone
Testosterone is the main male sex hormone that controls the male secondary sexual characteristics at puberty and the production of sperm
70
When do boys usually go into the first stages of puberty?
Boys usually go into the first stages of puberty slightly later than girls, between the ages of 9 and 15
71
the 4 hormones that constrol the menstrual cycle are: (1)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (2) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (3) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (4) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Functions of the following hormones: (1) FSH (2) LH (3) Oestrogen (4) Progesterone
1. FSH * stimulates the development of the the follicle and ova * Stimulates the follicle to produce oestrogen 2. Oestrogen * stimulates the the uteus lining to thicken and its blood supply to thicken after menstration * stops the secretion of FSH from the pituitary gland and causes it to secrete LH 3. LH * causes ovulation * stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone 4. Progesterone * causes thickening and maintenace of the uterus lining

81
Identify the labeled parts
A - Lining of uterus B - oviduct (fallopian tube) C- Amnion D - Amniotic fluid E - Mucus plug in cerix F - Umbilical Cord G - muscular wal of uterus H - Vagina I - Embryo or Foetus J - Placenta

* about 40 week or 280 days
84
After fertilization a diploid cell is formed call a (1) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. This diplod cell then divides by (2)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ to form a ball of cells called the (3)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. This ball of cells then travels down the oviduct to the (4)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, where (5)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ occurs. This occurs about (6) ____________ days after fertilization. When the embyro looks human it is called a (7)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. The human features are evident from about (8)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ weeks.
