Bio High Topic 2!! Flashcards
Structure of testes?
- Seminiferous tube (coiled tube sperms made)
- interstitial cells
- male sex harmone
Male accessory glad?
What happneds? What is there?
Prostate gland+ seminal vertices release fluid that maintains mobility and viability of sperms
Testes make sperms in?
Testosterone made in?
Seminiferous tubule
Interstitial cells
What triggers puberty?
When pituitary gland is stimulated by FSH, LH or ICSH by a releaser harmone made in hypothalamus
Hormones for sperms making
Pituitary gland releases FSH and ICSH
FSH promotes sperms making +actives prostate gland + seminal vericle accessory glands
Stages to menstruation?
Menstruation
Follicle phase
Luteal phase
Female gamete production where?
Ovaries contain immature ova
Each ovum is protected by a?
Follicle that realses harmone (oestrogen)
(Turns into corpus luteum + makes progesterone after ova goes out)
Follicle stage?
- pituitary gland let’s go of FSH
- FSH stimulates growing of follicle + making of its first hormone by follicle
- Oestrogen makes mucus of cervix watery more penetratable for sperm
- High Oestrogen = LH let go
- LH = ovulation
What is ovulation?
(By LH haromone)
The release of ova from a follicle (corpus luteum)
Loreal phase?
- follicle grows into corpus luteum which makes progesterone
- progesterone makes endometrium (uterus lining) thicker preparing it for implantation if fertilisation happens
Fertilisation?
When mature ova and sperms (hapiold) fuse nuclei to make a zygote (diploid)
Zygote divides to make embyro
