57
Q

Gonad

A

produce gametes

most sexually reproducing species have them, but not all

58
Q

Spermatheca

A

hold sperm

59
Q

Follicle

What

When

Connection to corpus luteum

A

contain an oocyte (partially developed egg)

found on outside of ovaries

formed in the embryo

the follicular tissue left after ovulation grows and produces the corpus luteum

60
Q

Endometrium

A

lining of the uterus

rich supply of blood vessels

where the developing embryo implants wtihin several days

61
Q

Time for sperm to pass through epididymis

Affect maturation?

A

3 weeks.

complete maturation and become motile

62
Q

In addition to sperm, what organs contribute fluids to the semen?

What is the function of their secretions?

A

mucus

fructose (energy for sperm)

coagulating enzyme (to keep sperm together at first)

citrate (nutrition)

anticoagulant enzyme (so they can swim separately)

ascorbic acid

local regulators (prostaglandin)

63
Q

Spermatogenesis vs Oogenesis

A
  • Spermatogenesis:
  • all 4 products of meiosis become mature gametes
  • occurs througout adolescence and adulthood
  • produces mature sperm from precursor cells in a continuous sequence
  • Oogenesis:
  • Cytokinesis in meiosis is unequal, almost all cytoplasm given to a single daughter cell (becomes egg)(smaller cells, polar bodies, degenerate)
  • Mitotic divisions complete at birth, production of mature gametes stops at 50.
  • long interruptions
64
Q

In sperm cell, function of acrosome and mitochondria

A

contains enzymes that help penetrate egg

provides ATP for movement of the tail

65
Q

Most important androgen

where produced

effects

A
66
Q

most common female hormons

when produced

where produced

A

LH, FSH, and estradiol produced just before ovulation

progesterone produced during the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle and during the secretory phase of the uterine (menstrual) cycle

produced in the anterior posterior

67
Q

How female hormones exert effect

A

through the blood

68
Q

role of negative&positive feedback in oogenesis and ovulation

A

tells body when to stop and start production of GnRH. Also prevents another egg from being released

69
Q

Estradiol reach peak in menstrual cycle

A

just before ovulation

70
Q

Progesterone reach peak

A

in the luteal phase just after ovulation

71
Q

Effect of progesterone and estrogen on uterus?

A

develop and maintain the uterine lining

72
Q

What causes the menstrual flow?

A

the endometrium shedding due to nutrients being cut off, since there wasn’t fertilization hormone prodcution was stopped.

73
Q

Estrous Cycles

A

uterus reabsorbs endometrium (no period)

only mate during periods surrounding ovulation (heat)

74
Q

Role of hypothalamus and anterior pituitary in production of androgens

A

located in the brain

the hypothalamus secretes GnRH -> anterior posterior secretes FSH and LH

FSH -> production of sertoli cells

LH -> prodcution of leydig cells

Sertoli cells -> inhibin and spermatogenesis

Leydig Cells -> testosterone -> spermatogenesis

testosterone is produced in the testes

75
Q

Clitoris and Penis

A

formed from the same embryonic tissues

both enlarge and fill with blood during excitement

76
Q

Fertilization normally occurs

A

in the oviduct

77
Q

hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)

A

horomone produced by the fetus that prevents its spontaneous abortion

78
Q

Placenta

A

the trophoblast (outer layer of blastocyst) grows outward and interacts with the endometrium

made up of both maternal and fetal tissue

disc-shaped

function: nutrients, immune-protection, exchange respiratory gases, disposes of metabolic wastes

79
Q

Trimester organs formed

A

first

80
Q

Two types of permanent surgical contraception

A

tubal ligation

vasectamy

81
Q

In vitro fertilization

A

mixing sperm and oocytes in dishes and then waiting til at least 8 cells form and injecting them back into the woman for implantation

82
