Female reproductive system

Question 1

Functions of female reproduction

Answer 1

produce ova, secrete sex hormones, recieve spermatozoa during coitus, provide sites for fertilization, implantation and gestation, parturition (labor), and noursihment (breasts)

Question 2

Primary sex organs

Answer 2

female gonads: ovaries produce gametes and hormones

Question 3

function of secondary sex organs

Answer 3

structures essential for fertilization, implantation, development, parturition, and noursihment

includ external genitalia: mons pubis, labia minora and majora, clitoris

internal genitalia: uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina

Question 4

secondary sex organs essential for reproduction?

Answer 4

not essential for reproduction but considered attractants

Question 5

Similarities of male and female reproductive systems

Answer 5

homologous structures, gonads produce gametes and sex hormones, and latent development of reproductive organs (puberty)

Question 6

homologous structures

Answer 6

develop from the same embryonic tissue

Question 7

examples of homologous structures

Answer 7

testes=ovaries

glans penis=clitoris

scrotum=labia majora

spongy urethra=labia minora

membranous urethra=vaginal vestibule

bulborethral glands=vestibular glands (lubercates)

Question 8

gamete production for female

Answer 8

ova formed during fetal life

newborn female has about 2 million oocytes that have stopped at prohase I of meiosis

by puberty 400,000 left and about 400 ovulations

menopause: eggs quit maturing

(older you are increased problem with egg)

Question 9

ovary attachments

primary follicle

Answer 14

where egg matures (surrounds and protects egg) the follicle stays behind

Question 15

corpus luteum

Answer 15

puts out the hormone progestrone (prepares ureter lining for implantation)

Question 16

corpus albicans

Answer 16

if fertilization does not take place the corpus luteum becomes this

Question 17

isthmus

Answer 22

narrow tube before uterus

Question 23
