Q

male reproductive system

the vas deferens leads to the

A

urethra which leads sperm outside the body through the penis, which is the male copulatory organ

copulatory: enagage in sexual intercourse

16
Q

female reproductive system

in response to changing hormone levels, a

A

follicle in the ovary matures and releases an egg that then travels down the fallopian tubes to the uterus

17
Q

female reproductive system

fertilization (conception) which is the fusion of the

A

egg and sperm, normally occurs in the fallopian tubes

18
Q

female reproductive system

if a released egg is fertilized by a sperm it is called a

A

zygote

19
Q

female reproductive system

zygotes undergoe several divisions into a ball of

A

cells called a blastocyte and might undergo implantation

20
Q

female reproductive system

implantation is the process by which a

A

blastocyst implants itself in the uterine wall (endometrium).

if the blastocystsuccesfully implants in the uterus, the blastocyst develops into an embryo and grows a placenta that allows the smbryonic and maternal blood supplies into the network

21
Q

female reproductive system

the placenta nourishes and the embryo as it grows into a

A

fetus and removes wastes

22
Q

female reproductive system

once the fetus is ready for birth, about

A

40 weeks after fertilizationm the uterus contracts and the fetus is pushed out through the vagina

23
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

hormones are part of the endocrine system and allow for

A

cell-to-cell communication

24
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

cell to cell communication controls

A

many processes in the reproductive system

25
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

puberty is initiated by the production of

A

gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus which triggers the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland

26
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

in males LH is released and signals the

A

testes to produce more testosterone

27
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

testosterone and FSH stimulate the production of

A

sperm cells

28
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

in females, FSH signals the

A

ovaries to produce more estrogen

29
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

release of estrogen causes some eggs (ova) to mature in the

A

ovary’s follicles and the uterine endometrium to thicken

30
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

a surge of LH from the pituitary causes a developing

A

egg that is most responsive to the LH surge to be released

31
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

the empty mature follicle is now called the

A

corpus luteum and produces large amounts of progesterone to prepare the endometrium for implantation of the fertilized egg

32
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

if implanatation does not occur

A

the uterine lining sheds

this cycle of maturation and shedding of endometrium is called the menstrual cycle

33
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

in males testosterone production is not

A

cyclical so sperm unlike eggs are constantly produced and mature

34
Q

relationship between the reproductive system and the endocrine system

reproductive hormones also manage the development of secondary sexual characteristics such as production of

A

mammary glands
axial and facial hair
fat deposition patterns
muscle growth

35
Q

practice problems

which of the following organs produce female gametes

a. ovary
b. testes
c. prostate
d. uterus

A

a. ovary

36
Q

practive problems

which is the location where fertilization typically takes place

a. vagina
b. penis
c. vas deferens
d. fallopian tubes

A

d. fallopian tubes

37
Q

practive problems

which of the following best describes one function of estrogen

a. production of sperm cells
b. maturation of eggs
c. implantation
d. fertilization

A

b. maturation of eggs

38
Q

practive problems

which of the following result from the production of LH in males

a. heart growth
b. facial hair growth
c. testosterone production
d. sperm production

A

b. facial hair growth
c. testosterone production
d. sperm production
