19
Q

what is the name of the ells that are the origin of the ovum?

A

Oogonia

20
Q

What does the corpus luteum produce?

A

Extra estrogen and progesterone

21
Q

during the proliferative phase (days 1-14), which hormone is higher than the other? Estrogen or progesterone?

A

Estrogen

22
Q

On what day does estrogen peak?

A

Day 14

23
Q

Which hormone is higher in the secondary phase? Estrogen or progesterone

A

Progesterone

24
Q

why is progesterone higher during the secondary phase?

A

Because it thickens the uterus to prepare for a baby

25
Q

what are the 5 hormones that are working in the female reproductive system?

A
  • LH
  • FSH
  • estrogen
  • progesterone
  • GnRH
26
Q

Estrogen needs to be higher before day 14 because it helps finish the development of the egg?

A
  • progesterone goes up after fertilization
27
Q

Uterus is adapted for fertilized egg (called what) to attach the wall?

A

Blastocyst

28
Q

How many cells are in the blastocyst?

A

32

29
Q

ICM are what type of cells that form the whole body?

A

Embryonic stem cells

30
Q

Trophectoderm does what?

A

Attaches to the uterus wall

31
Q

Trophoblast forms what by branching into the cell wall

A

Placenta

32
Q

A baby is born with congenital defect in with the testes inside the abdomen. Will the sperm survive?

A

No because the body is 37C (98.5F) and sperm like 34C (95F)

33
Q

Leydig cells produce testosterone or _________ in males

A

Androgens

34
Q

What is GnRH produced by?

A

The hypothalamus

35
Q

Is FSH produced by the anterior or posterior pituitary?

A

Anterior

36
Q

If you illegally use testosterone with na excess dose, what happens?

A
  • can be converted into estrogen: feminizing
  • make you weaker
  • leads to liver damage
37
Q

If the uterus has any defect (thin or is inflamed), what process will be affected?

A

Implantation

38
Q

Does mitosis or meiosis occur in germ cells?

A

Mitosis

39
Q

What is the function of estrogen?

A

Stimulate egg development and female sex characteristics

40
Q

progesterone function:

A

Control implantation by increasing thickness of uterus

41
Q

Does FSH come from the anterior or posterior pituitary?

A

Anterior

42
Q

FSH in women regulates which hormone that leads to secondary sex characteristics?

A

Estrogen

43
Q

Conception should be thought as the same as ?

A

Fertilization

44
