neonate
True or False- the internal anal/urinary sphincters are skeletal muscle, voluntary; and require potty training
false, external
True or False- micturition requires input only the parasympathetic nervous system
false, both para and sympathetic
True or False- the degree of thirst in a person is a highly reliable indicator of their level of hydration
false
True or False- meiosis produces gametes, mitosis (eventually) produces a complete human from a single zygote
true
True or False- because the sperm are farther away from the urethra than are the accessory sex glands, the first few milliliters of ejaculation never contain any viable sperm
false- they do
True or False- sexual intercourse up to about 3 days before ovulation may result in fertilization/pregnancy
true
True or False- the corpus luteum transitions ti the corpus albicans when menses begins and after childbirth
true
match with the appropriate sex-gamete production begins at puberty
male
match with the appropriate sex- gamete stem cells begin meiosis prior to birth
female
match with the appropriate sex- urethra has both urinary and reproductive functions
male
match with the appropriate sex- each gamete stem cell produces four viable gametes
male
match with the appropriate sex- gonad begins its development just below (caudal to) kidney
both
match with the appropriate sex- erectile tissue is present
both
match with the appropriate sex- once it begins, gamete production continue for life if adult remains healthy
male
match with the appropriate sex- gamete is produced inside a tube and move through various connected tubes until it leaves the body
male
match with the appropriate sex- each gamete produces only one viable gamete
female
match with the appropriate sex- each stem cell undergoes mitosis; only one of those resulting daughter cells undergoes meiosis
male
match with the appropriate sex- gametes complete meiosis before exiting the gonad
male
match with the appropriate sex- individual gametes age at the same rate as the gonad (or adult body) in which they are produced
female
match with the appropriate sex- gamete is produced outside of the abdominal cavity
male
match with the appropriate sex- requires only parasympathetic innervation for orgasm
female
