A
- PENIS INSERTED INTO IT DURING

Q
5 STEPS TO FOLLICLE DEVELOPMENT AND OVULATION
A
- SINGLE CELLS BREAK AWAY FROM GERMINAL EPITHELIAL
- CELL DEVELOPS INTO OOGONIUM SURROUNDED BY PRIMARY FOLLICLE
- PRIMARY FOLLICLE DEVELOPS INTO PRIMARY OOCYTE
- PRIMARY OOCYTE GOES THROUGH MEIOSIS CREATING ONE OOCYTE AND 3 POLAR BODYS
- GRAAFINED FOLLICLE RELEASES OVUM

A
- NUTRIENTS, WASTE PRODUCTS AND
OXYGEN PASS THROUGH AND FROM
-MATERNAL ANTIBODIES CAN PASS
THROUGH FEOTUS
- ACTS AS A PATHOGEN PREVENTING
BARRIER - SECRETES HORMONES

Q
FUNCTIONS OF AMNION (4)
A
- SECRETES AMNIOTIC FLUID WITH
WASTE PRODUCT AND WATER - SUPPORTS MOVEMENT AND
BREATHING IN DEVELOPING FEORU - CUSHONS AND PROTECTS FROM
TEMPERATURE AND DEHYDRATING - HOLDS URINE AWAY FROM FEOTUS
7
Q
FUNCTIONS OF UMBILLICAL CORD
A
- ATTATCHES FEOTUS TO PLACENTA
- UMBILLICAL ARTERIES TRANSPORT WASTE INTO MATERNAL BLOODSTREAM
- UMBILLICAL VEINS TRANSPORT OXYGEN AND NUTRIENTS TO FEOTUS
