44
Q

erects during sexual stimulation (female)

A

clitoris

45
Q

duct through which the ovum travels to reach the uterus

A

uterine tube

46
Q

membrane that partially closes the vaginal canal

A

hymen

47
Q

primary female reproductive organ

A

ovary

47

51
Q

ligament helping to anchor the uterus

A

the round ligament

homologue of the male scrotum

A

labium majus

54
Q

forming part of the primary follicle in the ovary

A

61
Q

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

A

no

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

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

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

A

estrogen

73
Q

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

A

LH

74
Q

maintains the hormonal production of the corpus luteum

A

LH

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

A

estrogens

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

A

estrogens

80
Q

this hormone is responsible for the secondary sex characteristics of females

A

estrogens

81
Q

What portion of the sperm actually enters the oocyte?

A

just its head (the nucleus)

82
Q

the fertilized egg

A

zygote

83
Q

secretes estrogen and progesterone to maintain the pregnancy

A

placenta

84
Q

cooperate to form the placenta

A

chorionic villi and endometrium

85
Q

fluid-filled sac surrounding the developing embryo/fetus

A

amnion

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

A

fetus

89
Q

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

A

placenta

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.
