Q

chromosomes are replicated before the division process begins

A

mitosis and meiosis

39
Q

this process provides cells for the reproduction of offspring

40
Q

this process consists of two consecutive divisions of the nucleus; chromosomes are not replicated before the second division

41
Q

chamber that houses the developing fetus

42
Q

canal that receives the penis during sexual intercourse

43
Q

usual site of fertilization

A

uterine/fallopian tube

44
Q

erects during sexual stimulation (female)

45
Q

duct through which the ovum travels to reach the uterus

A

uterine tube

46
Q

membrane that partially closes the vaginal canal

47
Q

primary female reproductive organ

47
Q

move to create fluid currents to draw the ovulated egg into the uterine (fallopian) tube

48
Q

lining of the uterus

A

endometrium

49
Q

muscular layer of the uterus

A

myometrium

50
Q

pathway along which an egg travels from the time of its release to its implantation

A

uterine tube

51
Q

ligament helping to anchor the uterus

A

the round ligament

52
Q

structure producing female hormones and gametes

53
Q

homologue of the male scrotum

A

labium majus

54
Q

forming part of the primary follicle in the ovary

A

primary oocyte

55
Q

in the uterine tube before fertilization

A

secondary oocyte

56
Q

in the mature, or Graafian, follicle of the ovary

A

secondary oocyte

57
Q

in the uterine tube shortly after sperm penetration

58
Q

cells that produce estrogen

A

follicle (granulosa) cells

59
Q

grandular structure that produces progesterone

A

corput luteum

60
Q

oocytes

A

central cells in all follicles

61
Q

Are there any oogonia in a mature female’s ovary?

62
Q

Into what area is the ovulated cell released?

A

peritoneal cavity

63
Q

When is a mature ovum (egg) produced in humans?

A

after sperm penetration occurs

64
Q

What structure in the ovary becomes a corpus luteum?

A

ruptured (ovulated) follicle

65
Q

What are the four final cell types produced by oogenesis in the female?

A

one ovum; three polar bodies

66
Q

What is the final product of spermatogenesis in males?

A

four spermatids (sperm)

67
Q

What happens to the tiny cells nearly devoid of cytoplasm ultimately produced during oogenesis?

A

they deteriorate because they lack nutrient-containing cytoplasm

68
Q

What name is given to the period of a woman’s life when her ovaries begin to become nonfunctional?

69
Q

promotes growth of ovarian follicles and production of estrogen

A

follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

70
Q

triggers ovulation

A

luteinizing hormone (LH)

71
Q

inhibit follicle-stimulating hormone release by the anterior pituitary

A

estrogen and progesterone

72
Q

stimulates luteinizing hormone release by the anterior pituitary

73
Q

converts the ruptured follicle into a corpus luteum and causes it to produce progesterone and estrogen

74
Q

maintains the hormonal production of the corpus luteum

75
Q

Lack of this causes the blood vessels to kink and the endometrium to slough off (menses)

A

estrogens and progesterone

76
Q

this hormone causes the endometrial glands to begin the secretion of nutrients

A

progesterone

77
Q

the endometrium is repaired and grows thick and velvety

78
Q

this hormone maintains the myometrium in an inactive state if implantation of an embryo has occurred

A

progesterone

79
Q

glands are formed in the endometrium

80
Q

this hormone is responsible for the secondary sex characteristics of females

81
Q

What portion of the sperm actually enters the oocyte?

A

just its head (the nucleus)

82
Q

the fertilized egg

83
Q

secretes estrogen and progesterone to maintain the pregnancy

84
Q

cooperate to form the placenta

A

chorionic villi and endometrium

85
Q

fluid-filled sac surrounding the developing embryo/fetus

86
Q

attaches embryo to the placenta

A

umbilical cord

87
Q

finger-like projections of the blastocyte

A

chorionic villi

88
Q

embryo after 8 weeks

89
Q

the organ that delivers nutrients to and disposes of wastes for the fetus

90
Q

which two hormones are essential to initiate labor in humans

A

oxytocin and prostaglandins

91
Q

which hormone is responsible for milk production? milk ejection?

A

prolactin; oxytocin

92
Q

Labor is an example of a positive feedback mechanism. What does that mean?

A

The response to the stimulus enhances the stimulus. The more a baby descends into the pelvis and stretches the uterus, the more oxytocin is produced and the stronger the contractions become.
