What does a steroid hormone start with
Cholesterol molecule
If thyroid hormone is low what is the pathway or the endocrine system
Hypothalamus —> Thyroid releasing hormone –> anterior pituitary—> thyroid stimulating hormone –>target organ–>specific hormone —>regulate metabolism
How many chromosomes does sperm have
23
True or false
Insulin is a protein hormone
True
What is the male response for plateau
-ejection maintained •color deepens -urethral bulb enlarges (3x) -preorgasmic emission •Cowper's gland (pre ejaculatory fluid) or a few drops of semen -prostate enlarges -sex flush spreads -HR, BP, and BR increase, more myotonia
What does the male response for orgasm
-involuntary muscle contraction •clutching and clawing of hand/feet -HR, BP, BR peak -sex flush peaks -Ejaculation (optional) •expulsion if semen •reflex with 2 stages
What are the two relax phases with orgasm
Emission stage
Expulsion state
What is the emission stage
- controlled by sympathetic nervous system
- smooth muscle contraction in testes walls, ducts and glands
- semen enter urethral buld
- urinary sphincter contracts closes off bladder
- oxytocin release
What is the expulsion state consist of
- controlled by somatic nerves system (voluntary control)
- rhythmic contraction of penis and bulbocavernosus muscle
What does the resolution stage for male response consist of
-return to resting state
•erection lost
-priapism (ejection
How long during resolution does it take HR,BP, BR to return to normal
5 mins
How long for additional reduction in penis size, descent of testes and loss of nipple erection take
5min -2 hrs
What’s the function of the female reproduction system
- produce female gametes and hormone
- receive male gametes
- protect and support developing embryo/fetus
What does the female internal anatomy consist of
Ovaries
-lumpy and almond shaped organ
•produce oocytes (eggs) and hormones
Uterine tubes AKA Fallopian oviducts
-facilitate egg transport toward uterus with peristaltic contraction and cilia
Where are eggs for females fertilized?
In uterine tube 1-2 days
