Ch 13 Reproduction Flashcards
advantages of asexual reproduction
enables animals in isolation to reproduce without mate, numerous quick offspring, no energy expenditure in hormones
fission
asexual repro - separation of organism into two new cells
budding
asexual repro - splitting off od new individuals from exiting ones
fragmentation
asexual repro - single parent breaks into parts that regenerate into new indiviudals
parthenogenesis
asexual repro - development of egg without fertiilzation, resulting haploid. honeybees
testes
male gonads, site of sperm fermentation
ovary
where meisis occurs and secondary oocyte forms prior to birth
vas deferens
duct that carries sperm during ejaculation from epididymis to penis
prostrate gland
large gland that secretes semen directly into urethra
scrotum
sac outside abdominal cavity, holds testes, cooler temperature
urethra
tube that carries semen and urine
oviduct
fallopian tube - fetilization occurs; after ovulation the eff moves through this duct to uterus
uterus
blastula stage of embryo will implant and develop during nine month gestation
vagina
birth canal, where baby passes through
cervix
mouth of uterus
endometrium
lining of uterus
follicular phase
follicles in ovaries grow and secrete estrogen in repsonse to FSH
ovulation
secondary oocyte ruptures out of ovaries in response to rapid increase in LH from anterior pituitary.
luteal phase
corpus luteum (cavity left behind by follicle) forms and secretes estrogen and progesterone
menstruation
if implantation of embryo does not occur, buildup of uterus lining breaks down and is shed. tissue and blood are discharged.
hormones of menstrual cycle
hypothalamus relases GnRH, stimulates FSH and LH, stimulate estrogen and progesterone which prepare uterus for implantation of embryo.
spermatogenesis
process of sperm production, begins as LH induces testis to produce testosterone. FSH and testosterone stimulate sperm prod in testes
oogenesis
production of ova. shit happens
cleavage
rapid mitotic cell division of zygote that begins immediately after fertilization
blastula
fluid filled ball of cells. is production is considered the end of cleavage
gastrulation
continuation of cleavage. involves differentiation. rearranges blastula to form three layered embryo called gastrula.
organognesis
process by which cells continue to differenciate, produces organs from three germ layers.
chorion
lies under shell of bird embryo allows for diffusion of respiratory gases.
yolk sac
encloses yolk which feeds growing bird embryo
amnion
encloses bird embryo in protective amniotic fluid
allantois
analogous to mammal placenta. in birds
