Ch. 28 Reproductive System Flashcards
Gonads
Sex organs
M: Testes
F: Ovaries
Gametes
Sex cells
M: Sperm cells
F: Eggs/oocyte
Somatic cells
Non-sex cells
Ex. Apotocyte, RBC, Skin cell
Cellular division used by somatic cells
Mitosis
Cell division used by sex cells/gametes
Meiosis
Process of sex cell production (produces sperm or oocyte)
Gametogenesis
Production of sperm cells
Spermatogenesis
Production of egg cells
Oogenesis
Start of her productive years
Menarche
What is the absence of periods called
Amenorrhea(bc of pregnancy)
Female reproductive years are coming to an end, ovaries are shutting down
Menopause
What is the process of ovaries releasing a mature oocyte halfway through the reproductive cycle
Ovulation
What is it called when the sperm cell and oocyte meet successfully in the fallopian tubes
Fertilization
Fertilized egg
Zygote
3 functions of vagina
-
Diff: Spermatogenesis does not start until puberty, then throughout lifetime
True
Diff: While in womb & birth, females will have all their eggs
True
Common cause of Amenorrhea
Pregnancy
What is the exocrine function of the reproductive system
Gametogenesis
What is the endocrine function of the reproductive system
Produce sex hormones
What hormone Produces milk
Prolactin
What hormone secretes milk
Oxytocin
How long is a term pregnancy (pre-term if ends before and post-term if ends after)
37 to 42 weeks
What phase is between the 2 rounds of meiosis
Interkinesis
After meiosis, the male has produced __ viable daughter cells
4
After meiosis, females have produced _ viable cells
1
What are the 3 unviable cells produced by females called
Polar bodies
What is the function of the dartos and cremaster muscles
regulate testicular temperature
What is the continuous tubule system in the testes called
Seminiferous tubule
The ejaculatory duct is formed by the fusion of which 2 ducts
vas deferens and seminal vesicle
On HOT day, where will Dartos & cremaster moves the tested?
Away from body
On COLD day, where will Dartos & cremaster moves the tested?
Toward body
Diff: penis contains 3 portions of urethra
True
How many chromosomes in Diploid?
46
How many chromosomes in Haploid?
23
What is the path of sperm travel in males beginning in the testes (St,Tr,Rt,Ed,E,Dd,Ejd,Pu,Mu,Pu)
seminiferous tubule, tubulus rectus, rete testis, efferent ductules, epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct, prostatic urethra, membranous urethra, and penile urethra
What functions as a place for sperm to acquire motility
Epididymis
What functions as the carrier of sperm from the epididymis to the pelVic cavity
Vas deferens
What functions as the primary producer of material found in seminal fluid (semen)
Seminal vesicle
What nutrient in seminal fluid powers the sperm to move
Fructose
What functions as the producer and secretor of slightly alkaline fluid so sperm doesn’t get killed by residual urine
bulbourethral (cowper’s) gland
Where does sperm cell maturation occur
Epididymis
Location of Ejaculatory duct⭐️
Prostate gland
Location of bulbourethral gland
Root of penis
