Chapter 6 Reproduction Flashcards
Name Aristotle’s theories
- embryo was preformed and grew or enlarged during development
- man arose from being successive differentiation of a formless being
Define the theory preformation
embryo was preformed and grew or enlarged during development
define the theory epigenesis
man arose from being successive differentiation of a formless being
Which theory did Aristotle believe in
epigenesis
who first found and described the oviduct
Fallopius
whose system is more complex a females or males
female
what does the female reproductive system consist of
embryonic Mullerian ducts, primordial external genitalia
What consists of the Mullerian ducts
oviducts, uterus, cervix, and anterior vagina
What consists of the primordial external genitalia
posterior vagina and vulva
What are the major functions of the female reproductive system
Produce a female gamete, deliver it to the site where it can be fertilized, provide an environment for growth of the fetus, and to deliver the fetus
What is the primary organs in the female reproductive system
ovaries
what doe ovaries produce
oocytes and female hormones
Ovaries ensure what
continual nutrient and oxygen delivery
what are oviducts
pair of convoluted tubes adjacent to the ovaries and extending to the uterus
Where is the site of fertilization and early cell divisions of the embryo
oviducts
What is the function of the oviducts
transport ova and sperm
Name the three segments of the oviducts
infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus
this structure is lace like that envelops the ovaries
infundibulum
this segment is responsible for capturing the released ocyte and directing its transport
infundibulum
in what animals is the infundibulum separated from the ovary
sow, ewe, and cow
What segment is highly invaginated
ampulla
what do the invaginations cause
increase the surface area and are covered with cilia to aid in the movement of the ocyte down the ampulla
What is the final segment of the oviduct
isthmus
what is the site where the ampulla and isthmus join together
ampullary -isthmic junction
This is the site of fertilization of the oocytes by the sperm
ampullary- isthmic junction
What delays the transport of the ocytes
ampullary-isthmic junction
