25
Q

follicular phase/menstrual phase

A
  • days 1-13
26

the mature follicle (cells of follicle) produces

A

estrogen

28
Q

as the follicle matures, more

A

cells are made

29
Q

ovulation

A

release of a mature egg from a follicle and ovary

30
Q

an ovulated mature follicle

A

corpus luteum

31
Q

FSH is highest prior to

A

ovulation

32
Q

follicles grow because of

A

FSH

33
Q

the corpus luteum is formed because of the hormone

A

LH

34
Q

ovulation occurs around which day of the cycle

A

14

35
Q

luteal phase

A

progesterone release and significant growth in the uterus

36
Q

what hormones are you lacking during menstruation

A

estrogen and progesterone

37
Q

lactation

A

release of breast milk (proteins, fats, lactose)
- start to produce lactation after giving birth

38
Q

lactation occurs in response to __________ and __________ stimuli

A

internal (hormones), external (exteroceptors- touch, sound, smell)

39
Q

prolactin

A

produced from the anterior pituitary and responsible for milk production

40
Q

oxytocin

A

produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary
- causes milk ejection

41
Q

LH stimulates interstitial cells of Leydig to secrete

A

process of sperm development in seminiferous tubules
- begins during puberty (FSH and LH)

45

female gametogenesis

A
  • single viable secondary oocyte produced in females
  • female oocytes arrested in meiosis prior to birth
  • only able to reproduce till menopause
46
Q

male gametogenesis

A
