Lecture: Reproductive System Flashcards
Where is Reproductive System derived from?
Mesoderm
a paired organ with a single enormous nephron that filters blood filtrate produced by glomeruli or glomerate—large embryonic glomeruli.
The pronephros is the first kidney to develop in the embryo of more evolved vertebrates.
Pronephric Kidney
(non-functional)
an embryonic organ that disappears in all mammalian species when the permanent kidney—the metanephros—is functional.
Mesonephric Kidney
(Functinoal)
permanent kidney in reptiles, birds, and mammals, developing by the 10th week in human embryos from the lower part of the Wolffian duct, and replacing the embryonic structure called the mesonephros.
Metanephric Kidney
Test that measures size of prostate gland
PSA
prostatic specific amplitude
Ducts from mesonephric kidney turn into
Vas deferns + epididymis
Secretes fluid into semen and goes through the ejaculatory duct
Seminal vesicle
This last step, in which the testis passes from the abdominal cavity to the scrotum. Testosterone.
Occurs between the seventh month and birth.
Descent of the Testes
A fetal ligament attached to the caudal epididymis and testis and the bottom of the scrotum guides the descent of the testes into the scrotum;
Gubernaculum
Normal menstrual cycle duration
28 days
Importance of Leutanizing Hormone
When levels increase, ovulation happens
Can get pregnant how many hours after ovulation?
12-15 hours
Can get pregnant how many hours after ovulation?
12-15 hours
One cell embryo (male + female)
Zygote (diploid)
Mass of 16 cells. A solid ball of cells resulting from division of a fertilized ovum, and from which a blastula (blastocyst) is formed.
Morula
Structure formed after Morula
Blastocyst
Where does implantation occur? What do we call the cell?
Endometrium,
morula->blastocyst->trophoblast
Pregnancy tests test for:
Beta fraction: HCG (human corionic gonadotropin hormone)
Where does fertilization occur?
Distal 1/3 of fallopian tube
When fertilized egg implants itself in the fallopian tube?
Tubal pregnancy
Where does estrogen come from?
Follicular cells
Where does estrogen come from?
Follicular cells
Surge of what hormone in day 14 of menstruation
Leutanizing Hormone (estrogen starts to decline)
Endometrial linings:
Functional layer: layer thats shed in menstruation
Basal layer: remains intact
3 Phases of the ovary:
- Follicular (before release of the egg)
- Ovulatory (egg release)
- Luteal (after egg release)
3 Phases of uterus
- Menstrual phase
- Proliferative
- Secretory
- Ischemic
Causes maturation of ovary
FSH
Importance of Prolactin
Milk production
Anterior to Posterior Anatomy:
Urinary Bladder
Uterus
Colon
Distocia
Trouble delivery
Cutting of the pineal muscle to allow for further opening of the vaginal canal
Epesiotomy
What makes the sperm?
Testis
For every spermatocyte made how many sperm are made?
4 sperm
Manufacturing of sperm
Spermatogenesis
