F+M reproductive parts and main hormones

Question 1

testes

Answer 1

produce sperm cells

Question 2

seminiferous tubules

Answer 2

produce immature sperm cells

Question 3

epididymis

Answer 3

matures and stores sperm cells in coiled tubules

Question 4

vas deferens

Answer 4

carries sperm from the epididymis to its junction with the urethra

Question 5

seminal vesicle

Answer 5

secretes fructose into semen to provide energy for the sperm

Question 6

prostate gland

Answer 6

secretes an alkaline buffer into the semen to protect sperm from acidic vagina

Question 7

cowper’s gland

Answer 7

secretes mucus rich fluids into the semen that may protect sperm from acids in the urethra

Question 8

urethra

Answer 8

carries semen during ejaculation and carries urine from the bladder to the exterior of the body

Question 9

penis

Answer 9

deposits sperm into the female reproductive system during ejaculation and contains the urethra

Question 10

interstitial cell

Answer 10

where testosterone is produced, found in the testes surrounding the seminiferous tubules

Question 11

Testosterone

Answer 11

produced by interstitial cells, stimulates spermatogenesis, promotes and regulates the development of secondary sexual characteristics, associated with sex drive

Question 12

follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
MALE

Answer 12

produced by anterior pituitary gland, stimulates the production of sperm cells in the seminiferous tubules

Question 13

Luteinizing hormone (LH)
MALE

Answer 13

produced by the anterior pituitary gland, promotes the production of testosterone by the interstitial cells

Question 14

gonadotropic releasing hormone

Answer 14

produced by hypothalamus, stimulates the secretion of FSH and LH

Question 15

ovaries

Answer 15

produce estrogen and progesterone, site of ovum development and ovulation

Question 16

fallopian tubes (oviducts)

Answer 16

carries the ovum from the ovary to the uterus, site of fertilization

Question 17

fimbriae

Answer 17

sweep the ovum into the fallopian tube following ovulation

Question 18

Uterus

Answer 18

organ where embryo and fetus develop, involved in menstration

Question 19

cervix

Answer 19

separates the vagina from the uterus, holds the fetus in place during pregnancy, dilates during birth to allow the fetus to leave the uterus

Question 20

vagina

Answer 20

extends from the cervix to the external environment, provides a passageway for sperm and menstrual flow, functions as the birth canal

Question 21

estrogen

Answer 21

produced by follicle cells (in ovary), inhibits growth of facial hair and initiates secondary sexual characteristics, and causes the thickening of the endometrium

Question 22

progesterone

Answer 22

produced by the corpus luteum (in ovary), inhibits ovulation, inhibits uterine contractions, firms the cervix, and stimulates the endometrium

Question 23

follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
FEMALE

Answer 23

secreted by anterior pituitary gland, stimulates the development of the follicle cells in the ovary

Question 24

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
FEMALE

Answer 24

secreted from anterior pituitary gland, stimulates ovulation and the formation and maintenance of the corpus luteum
