Q

Female reproductive system

A
  • responsible for producing, maturing, and sustaining female gametes(eggs).
  • Consists of 2 ovaries ( where egg formation occurs: also produce estrogens and progesterone), uterine tubes(transports the egg toward the uterus, using cilia motion;also the site of fertilization)
  • Ovaries fertilize the egg

Q

What is menopause?

A

menstrual cycle stops, no more ovulation at the age of 50-55

36
Q

What is a zygote?

A

A zygote is the single cell that is formed from the 46 chromosomes from the sperm and egg.

37
Q

What is fertilization?

A

Fertilization is when the sperm makes it’s way to the egg. The sperm fights with many other sperm cells to reach the egg and whichever sperm makes to first will make it’s way through the egg to get in.

38
Q

What happens in the fourth week of fertilization? What is Organogenesis?

A

ORGANOGENESIS occurs where the three primary germ layers develop into their preprogrammed organs

  • ectoderm: gives rise to the nervous system, skin, teeth, and endocrine glands
  • mesoderm: gives the muscle, cartilages, bones, blood, and excretory system
    endoderm: gives rise to the digestive, respiratory, and reproductive system
39
Q

What is oxytocin?

A

When the head touches the layer of the cervix, OXYTOCIN is an estrogen that causes contraction to begin.

OXYTOCIN should not begin before the end of the nine months, if it does it can cause death to the mother.

40
Q

What is plasma?

A

Plasma is the liquid portion of the blood

41
Q

What is an artery?

A

An artery is the transport of blood away from the heart. The artery carries high blood pressure.

42
Q

What are the veins?

A

Veins are the transport of blood (usually deoxygenated) back to the heart.

43
Q

What is the capillaries?

A

Capillaries are the exchange of gasses and chemical substances with body cells.

44
Q

What three substances are moved throughout your body? (Circulatory)

A

Plasma is 55% of your blood, 92% is water and !% is metabolites and wastes that the body transports.

45
Q

What is hemoglobin?

A

Hemoglobin is the protein in the blood cells

46
Q

What is Erythrocytes, Leukocytes, and Thrombocytes?

A

Erythrocytes: red blood cells
Leukocytes: while blood cells
Thrombocytes: platelets: for blood clot formation

47
Q

What causes pernicious anemia?

A

pernicious anemia is the decrease of red blood cells when they body is not able to absorb enough vitamin B12.

48
Q

What is erythropoietin?

A

a hormone from the kidneys to stimulate red blood cells production by the red bone marrow

49
Q

What is lyphocytes?

A

lymphocytes attack foreign agents directly (under cell mediated immunity) or by forming antibodies (under antibody mediated immunity)

50
Q

Blood Grouping

A
  • Type 0 is the universal donor that is able to donate to every other blood type.
  • Type AB, universal recipient, can receive blood from any other blood group since it has no antibodies but is not able to donate.
51
Q

Where the biscupid valve located in the heart??

A

The biscupid valve is located between the ventricle and the left atrium.

52
Q

Where is the triscupid valve located in the heart?

A

between the right atrium and right ventricle

53
Q

What are the coronary arteries?

A

coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the cardiac muscle

54
Q

What is bradycardia?

A

bradycardia is slow heart rate (

55
Q

What is tachycardia?

A

fast heart rate ( >100 beats/min) normal during exercise or excitement, but can be induced by high body temperature, drugs, heart disease, anemia, or shock.

56
Q

What is flutter?

A

Very high heart rate (>250 beats/min) which is usually pathological (e,g bacterial infection).

Q

What is peripheral nervous system?

A

the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord

71
Q

what is a sensory motor?

A

A sensory system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory receptors, neural pathways, and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception.

72
Q

what is the luteinizing hormone?

A

Luteinizing hormone is a hormone produced by gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. In females, an acute rise of LH triggers ovulation and development of the corpus luteum.
