Q

What are the four phases of the human sexual response

A

1 - excitement
2 - plateau
3 - orgasm
4 - resolution

20
Q

explain how vascular congestion aids in lubrication and erection in the excitement phase of arousal

A

the arteries dilate so much, it obstructs the vein and decreases blood return to the heart

21
Q

T or F: the erection response is controlled via sympathetic activation and parasympathetic suppression

A

F: the erection response is due to parasympathetic activation and sympathetic reppression

22
Q

fertilization requires ___________

A

capacitation

23
Q

Capacitation enables…

A

sperm to fertilize an egg

24
Q

capacitated sperm releases….

A

enzymes from their acrosomes in order to penetrate the cells and zona pellucida surrounding the egg

25
Q

fertilization occurs where?

A

in the fallopian tubes

26
Q

fusion of sperm and egg triggers the _____-

A

cortical reaction

27
Q

what is the cortical reaction

A
  • cortical granules released
  • prevents polyspermy
  • creates diploid cell
28
Q

describe the timing of fertilization

A

first - ovulation
day one: fertilization
day 2-4: cell division takes place
day 4-5: blastocyst reaches uterus
day 5-9: bastocyst implants in uterus

29
Q

developing embryo forms a _______ when it reaches the uterus

A

hollow blastocyst

30
Q

What extraembryonic membrane forms the placenta?

A

chorion

31
Q

What extraembryonic membrane secretes amniotic fluid?

A

amnion

32
Q

What extraembryonic membrane creates the umbilical cord

A

allantois

33
Q

T or F: the yolk sac lasts the whole pregnancy

A

F - it degenerates early

34
Q

_____ of placenta surrounded by maternal blood, nutrients, gases, and wastes

A

chorionic

35
Q

describe the job of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in pregnancy

A
  • rescues corpus luteum makes lots hCG early (dips after 14 weeks) and is basis of pregnancy tests
36
Q

describe role of estrogen in pregnancy

A
  • helps develop milk-secreting ducts in the breast
  • very low amounts during pregnancy and a slow gradual rise
37
Q

describe role of human placental lactogen (hPL) in pregnancy

A
  • necessary for breast development and milk production
  • affects maternal metabolism
  • start making A LOT the last 4ish weeks of pregnancy
38
Q

describe role of progesterone in pregnancy

A
  • maintains endometrium
  • corpus luteum does this at first, when it degrades then the placenta takes over production
39
Q

lactation

A

mammary glands secrete milk

40
Q

what happens to mammary glands during pregnancy?

A
  • estrogen, GH, and cortisol stimulate further gland development
41
Q

What happens to mammary glands during late pregnancy?

A
  • progesterone converts duct epithelium into secretory structure
  • prolactin is not inhibited by prolactin-inhibiting hormone (PIH) and glands begin to produce milk
42
Q

mammary glands initially produce _________

A

colostrum

43
Q

describe the let-down reflex

A
  • oxytocin initiates smooth muscle contraction in breast tissue and plays a role in involution (uterus returning to pre-pregnancy size)
44
Q

puberty marks the beginning of _______

A

reproductive years

45
Q

What happens to GnRH during puberty

A

increased pulsatile secretion

46
Q

What happens to females during puberty

A
  • budding breasts
  • menarche
47
Q

What happens to males during puberty

A
  • growth/maturation of external genitalia
  • development of secondary sex characteristics
48
Q

menopause

A
  • stop periods
  • ovaries no longer respond to gonadotropins
  • absence of estrogen
  • hot flashes, atrophy of genitalia and breasts, osteoporosis
  • HRT and SERMs may be used to treat
49
Q

andropause

A
  • decreased testosterone production
  • about 1/2 men over 50 have symptoms
  • controversial because drop of test is gradual and not sudden like estrogen
