Final - Female Reproductive System Flashcards
1.What are gonads? (0:48) *what do they do though?
the primary internal sex organs
what they do: Produce eggs and Female hormones.
2.What are gametes? 0:50)
the sperm and eggs that the gonads produce
3.What is the vulva? What is its function? (2:00)
it is the external female genital organs
function of the vulva is to – protect the internal parts of the female reproductive system
4.What is the vestibule? What is its function? (2:10)
Which contains the urethral orfice & vaginal orifice
Function: to detect changes in gravity and linear acceleration
5.What is the vagina? What is its function? (2:15)
How babies leave the body and how sperm gets in
- What are genatalia? (2:22)
* they are means to getting the what together? The gametes together
The external sexual organs – enable sperm to enter the body and to protect the internal genital organs from infectious organisms.
*Getting the gametes together
- What are the ovaries? What are their function? (2:33)
* gametes are what kind of cells?
Where the orders are given
Function: Produce and release female gametes and sex hormones like estrogen
*Haploid
8.How are gametes formed? How many chromosomes do they contain? 1 set of chromosomes (2:44)
They are haploid cells formed by meiosis.
How many chromosomes: They contain 1 set of chromosomes
- What type of chromosomal cell is formed when a sperm fuses with an egg? (2:49)
* What is a diploid cell?
* Each ovary lives inside of a fibrous sac, and that sac contains 2 things which are what?
Diploid cells.
- The instructions which are required to make a baby.
- The Tunica Albuginea & Germinal Epithelium.
- What are the ovarian follicles? What is their function?(3:22)
Tiny sac like structures
Holds a primary oocyte
- What is a primary oocyte? (3:29)
An incomplete proto-egg
- Do female humans have a finite number of oocytes? (3:35)
No, females are born with essentially ALL of these early versions of eggs – but eventually at meiosis they stop developing.
- What is oogenesis? Explain the process. process: (3:48)
It is the process of egg creation
Process: eggs mature 1 by 1 so every month a mature egg is fertilized.
Don't memorize this: Step 1: Mitosis. Oogonia Step 2: DNA Replication Step 3A: Meiotic Arrest Step 3B: Meiosis I Step 4A: Meiosis II Arrest Step 4B Fertilization Division Step 5: Fertilization
- Explain the menstrual cycle. (4:26)
What happens in the Uterus to prepare for a fertilized egg.
- Explain the ovarian cycle. (4:28)
* after 375 days, how many follicles will only support 1 mature egg?
The maturation of the follicle and egg.
Only 1 single follicle.
