HORMONES IN THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Flashcards
A biological system made up of all anatomical organs involve in sexual reproduction.
Reproductive system
Main reproductive organ of male
Penis , Testicle , Urethra, Prostate Gland
Main reproductive organ of Female
Vagina, Ovary , uterus, fallopian tube
what is gametes
it is a sex cell
True or False
Scrotum regulates the normal temperature of testes
true
TRUE OR FALSE
sperm form best at 40 degree celsius
FALSE
35 degree celsius
deposits the sperm into the vagina during mating
Penis
Hangs behind the penis, contains testicles, and act as the climate control system for testes
Scrotum
It is a part of endocrine system wherein it is responsible for making of testerone and producing sperm cells.
testis
A long colled tube that rests on the backside of each testicle. and the not that carries, stores, and bring sperm to maturity
Epididymis
A process where vas deference is cut
Vasectomy
transport mature sperm to the urethra in preparation of ejaculation
Vas deferens
Formed by the fusion of the vas deferens & the seminal vesicles
Ejaculatory duct
carries the urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Transport both urine and semen out of the body
Urethra
produce sugar-rich fluid (fructose) that provide sperms with source of energy & helps sperms motility lability to move
Seminal vesicle
It give the sperm an energy and nourishment
Fructose
The production of sperm cells
spermatogenes
walnut lie structure which gave additional fluid to the sperm , and help to nourish the sperm
Prostate gland
Also known as Bulbourethral gland. it produces clear, slippery fluid that emtpies directly to the urethra
Cowper’s gland
site of oogenesis; produces hormones, estrogen &progesterone. it is also part of endocrine system and the counterpart of testes.
Ovary
the production of egg cells or ovum
oogenesis
pick up the ovum from the ovary.
Fimbriae
Passage from ovary to uterus, SITE OF FERTILIZATION. also known as “oviduct”
Fallopian tube
Union of sperm & egg cells
Fertilization
process wherein Fallopian tube is tied so female would not bear child
Ligation
It is the lining of uterus and it nourishes the embryo, and it sheds during menstruations
endometrium
site of egg implantation, and the development of embryo
uterus
Development process of zygote
zygote - embryo - fetus - new born
it is the muscular opening of the uterus and can expand or contrast
Cervix
Entrance of the penis, also called as the birth canal
Vagina
TRUE OR FALSE
ovaries contain 400,00 egg cells but only 400 mature between ages 12-50
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE
Female’s 2 ovaries, alternate each week to produce egg
FALSE
each month
TRUE OR FLASE
When sperm is deposited to vagina it will swim going to cervix - uterus - Fallopian tube
TRUE
a chemical messengers of the body and is important to maintain homeostasis
Hormones
It is the balance or the state of balance within a system
Homeostasis
“master gland” it directs everything or every part of the endocrine system. It is the one that gives command to the ovary and testes to produce cells
Pituitary Gland
What does FSH stands for
Follicle-Stimulating Hormones
What does LH stands for
Luteinizing Hormone
in male reproduction It is the one that signal sperm production
FSH
in male reproduction It is the one that stimulates the production of testerone
LH
Most important male hormones. and is responsible for regulating sex differentiations. Characteristic, spermatogenesis, & fertility
Testerone
In female reproduction it is the one that signals the development of egg cells (oogenesis)
FSH
In female reproduction it is the one that plays the part in development of DNA and stimulation of estrogen and progesterone production
LH
Instrumental in breast developments, fat distribution in the hips, legs, and development of reproductive organ.
Estrogen
Helps the body to prepare for future pregnancies
PROGESTERONE
