female 2

Question 1

female reproductive system

Answer 1

-make eggs
-fertilize
-place for fetus
-labour
- female sex hormones
(EFFLS)

Question 2

ovaries

Answer 2

eggs produce and mature
* Produce E&P

Question 3

Fallopian tubes (oviducts)

Answer 3

carries cell + fertilization

Question 4

Uterus

Answer 4

Site of fetal development

Question 5

endometrium

Answer 5

Lining thickens monthly so fertilized egg implants
no fertilization = period starts

Question 6

cervix

Answer 6

Glands secrete mucus.
Blocks bacteria.
Helps sperm move

Question 7

vagina

Answer 7

birth & periods
Lubricated by cervical mucus.
Acidic pH keeps it healthy.

Question 8

egg cell ovum

Answer 8

bigger than sperm
1 matures every month

Question 9

follicles

Answer 9

egg development which matures and releases during ovulation
Fimbriae move the egg to the fallopian tube.

Question 10

follicles produce

Answer 10

Specialized tissue that produces estrogen.

Question 11

how long does egg survive in tube

Answer 11

24 hours

Question 12

FSH

Answer 12

-stimulates follicular growth in ovaries
- releases estrogen

Question 13

LH

Answer 13

surge causes ovulation (egg release)
- results in the formation of corpus luteum

Question 14

estrogen

Answer 14

thickens uterine lining (endometrium)
- slows FSH and LH
- stimulates FSH and LH pre ovulation

Question 15

progesterone

Answer 15

produced by CL after ovulation
-thickens uterine lining
slows FSH and LH

Question 16

flow phase

Answer 16

day 0-4
high FSH levels = stimulating follicle development.
low E & P so linings sheds

Question 17

follicular phase

Answer 17

day 6-13
FSH stimulates follicles to grow and produce E
which thickens the endometrium. FSH stops so other follicles dont grow (neg feedback)

Question 18

ovulation

Answer 18

day 14
LH increase triggers ovulation.
Estrogen levels peak, and progesterone begins to rise.

Question 19

luteal phase

Answer 19

Day 15-28
Corpus luteum makes E & P
P maintains endometrium and stops FSH & LH.
no fertilization = E & P drop

Question 20

levels during cycles

Answer 20

-MLLL
-HMHL
-MHHH
-LLMH

Question 21

oogenesis

Answer 21

develops 1 egg each month
-Remaining follicle tissue becomes corpus luteum, that secretes progesterone and estrogen.

Question 22

Hormonal Control in Females

Answer 22

Hypothalamus secretes GnRH, stimulating the pituitary to release:
FSH: Stimulates follicle growth and estrogen production.
LH: Triggers ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum.

Question 23

pathway of a egg

Answer 23

Ovary → Fimbriae → Fallopian Tube → Uterus

Question 24

Granulosa Cells:

Answer 24

Surround and nourish the egg.

Question 25

oocyte

Answer 25

immature egg in follicle
