Q

why does semen have a high pH?

A

to neutralize female tract

22
Q

which zone of the endometrium of the uterus undergoes cyclical changes?

A

stratum functionalis

23
Q

when does bleeding start?

A

beginning of follicular phase (Day 1)

24
Q

what hormones are produced by the ovaries?

A

estrogen and progesterone

25
Q

this part of the male sexual response is under parasympathetic control

A

erection

26
Q

menstrual phase: occurs as a result of decline in estrogen and progesterone when corpus luteum degenerates; endometrium is sloughed

A

menstrual

27
Q

organs that produce gametes and hormones

A

gonads

28
Q

when does oogenesis begin?

A

before birth

29
Q

after ovulation, what does the remaining follicle become?

A

a corpus luteum

30
Q

menstrual phase: occurs while ovaries are in luteal phase; secretion of progesterone stimulates development of uterine glands; endometrium could nourish a growing embryo

A

secretory

31
Q

what releases gonadotropin releasing hormone?

A

hypothalamus

32
Q

what causes menopauses?

A

changes in ovaries

33
Q

what produces about 30% of semen volume?

A

prostate gland

34
Q

what does FSH stimulate?

A

estrogen and follicle development

35
Q

structures that wrap around the ovaries and catch the oocyte after ovulation

A

fimbriae

36
Q

what produces about 60% of semen volume?

A

seminal vesicles

37
Q

secrete fluids into ducts

A

accessory glands

38
Q

characterized by increasing levels of estrogen production, reaching a high around Day 12; initiated by FSH, which will stimulate production of LH

A

follicular phase

39
Q

after ovulation, LH stimulates the ruptured follicle to become a corpus luteum; shuts down follicle development to prevent further ovulation

A

luteal phase

40
Q

what are the 3 phases of the ovaries?

A

follicular, ovulation, luteal

41
Q

collectively known as external genitalia

A

perineal structures

42
Q

inner layer of uterus where embryo implants and develops

A

endometrium

43
Q

when does the corpus luteum degenerate?

A

at the end of the luteal phase

44
Q

site of embryonic development

A

uterus

45
Q

structures that receive and transport gametes

A

ducts

46
Q

which type of cell reproduction results in cells with 23 chromosomes?

A

meiosis

47
Q

what stimulates testosterone secretion?

A

LH

48
Q

menstrual phase: occurs while ovary is in the follicular phase; increasing levels of estrogen stimulate growth of the endometrium

A

proliferative

49
Q

a sperm count of less than 20 million (considered less fertile)

A

oligospermia

50
Q

which hormone triggers spermatogenesis?

A

FSH

51
Q

what are the cell layers of a follicle, from innermost to outermost?

A

corona radiata and zona pellucida
