Finals 2 Flashcards
the process of producing sperm cells is
spermatogenesis
cells/structures responsible in producing testosterone
interstitial cell of Leydig
sperm cells are moved from the seminiferous tubules through the straight tubules to the
rete testis
the site of the sperm maturation and capacitation
epididymis
all of the ff are accessory glands of the male reproductive system, EXCEPT
ejaculatory duct
which of the ff is also known as the Cowper’s gland
bulbourethral gland
the ovaries are secured to the walls of the pelvis
ligaments
the lining of the uterus that is shed/sloughed off during menstrual flow
endometrium
an egg or ovum is released during which stage of the menstrual cycle
proliferative
the part of the female genitalia that is the homologue to the male penis is the
clitoris
which of the ff hormone maintains the pregnancy
estrogen
vaginal vestibule is enclosed by
labia majora
clusters of milk producing gland within the lobules
lactiferous ducts
chemical signal secreted by cells that affect other cell types in the close proximity
paracrine
all of the ff are water soluble hormones, EXCEPT
androgen
a person suffering from low blood pressure may benefit increased secretion of
aldosterone
this organ is both an exocrine and endocrine gland
hypothalamus
which of the ff characteristics signifying a person having a hyperthyroidism
fatigue
after consuming your lunch, which of the ff hormones get to be secreted and why
insulin to increase blood glucose
the anterior pituitary gland utilizes the hypothalamic nerve cell as means to communicate with the hypothalamus. on the other hand, the posterior pituitary gland communicates via hypothalamic-pituitary portal system
both statements are true
during fight or flight response, the ff target tissues respond such that
blood vessels dilate
which of the ff is true about parathyroid hormone
it stops the osteoclastic activity when blood calcium is high
acromegaly is
too much enlargement of bone, muscles, and organs
true about diabetes insipidus
produces large amount of (watery) diluted urine
in order for thyroid gland to function normally, requires
iodine
which of the ff can potentially lead to immune-compromised state of the body with continuous release of this hormone
cortisol
diabetes miletus
type II is often found in obese individuals
it is the science of body functions and how the body parts work
physiology
groups of cells that performs specific functions
tissue level
site of protein synthesis in cells
rough endoplasmic reticulum
