Question 7

Where does successful fertilization of the egg occurs?

Answer 7

Ampulla or Ampulla of the uterine tube

Question 8

These are the primary reproductive that produces ova.

Answer 8

Ovaries

Question 9

A follicle that is mature and will leave the ovary during ovulation.

Answer 9

Vesicular follicle or Graafian follicle

Question 10

Parts of the female reproductive system, which makes-up the female duct system.

Answer 10

Uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina

Question 11

It receives, retains, and nurtures the fertilized egg and also participates in childbirth

Answer 11

Uterus

Question 12

These are not physically connected to the ovaries, but have fimbriae on their distal ends to “wave” the egg inside after ovulation.

Answer 12

Uterine tubes or fallopian tubes

Question 13

It is the female copulatory organ
and the birth canal; it is partially closed by the
hymen, though a variety of activities can cause it
to rupture

Answer 13

vagina

Question 14

It is the production of eggs; it begins with stem cells (oogonia) that produce primary
oocytes.

Answer 14

Oogenesis

Question 15

What is the main female sex hormone that n drives the ovarian cycle and stimulates
secondary sex characteristics, such as breast development, growth of axillary and pubic hair, increased fat deposits, widening and lightening of the pelvis, and menses.

Answer 15

Estrogen

Question 16

This cycle ) includes
cyclic changes to the endometrium of the uterus in response to changing ovarian hormone levels
in the blood.

Answer 16

uterine cycle or menstrual cycle

Question 17

The phase of uterine cycle, when the endometrium begins to regenerate, glands form in it, and blood supply increases.

Answer 17

Proliferative phase

Question 18

The phase of uterine cycle, when increasing progesterone levels stimulate more endometrial gland
secretions and further development of blood
supply.

Answer 18

Secretory phase

Question 19

The phase of uterine cycle, when the endometrial lining
is shed.

Answer 19

Menstrual phase

Question 20

What degenerates, as LH levels naturally begin to decline, if no fertilization has occurred, causing progesterone levels to decline?

Answer 20

corpus luteum

Question 21

What causes the shedding of the endometrial lining in the uterus?

Answer 21

low ovarian hormone levels

Question 22

How many hours does the egg is viable, after ovulation?

Answer 22

12 to 24 hours

Question 23

It is called the early, rapid mitotic divisions of the zygote; this provides large cell numbers
for development to continue.

Answer 23

cleavage

Question 24

It is a ball of about 100 cells with a hollow center and begins secreting human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which prompts the corpus luteum to continue producing progesterone to maintain the pregnancy.

Answer 24

blastocyst

Question 25

This forms a fluid-filled sphere that will form the chorionic villi, which combine with uterine tissue to form the placenta.

Answer 25

trophoblast

Question 26

What are the three primary germ layers of the inner cell mass?

Answer 26

ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm

Question 27

It surrounds the primary germ layers, being fluid-filled once the placenta is formed. Also the umbilical cord form to attach to it and to the placenta. What is it called?

Answer 27

amnion

Question 28

When is a fetus considered “full-term” during the fetal period?

Answer 28

270 days after fertilization

Question 29

When preparing the body for pregnancy, what hormone is involved in the development of mammary glands and ducts?

Answer 29

Estrogen

Question 30

During lactation, where is milk produced and how does it exit the body?

Answer 30

produced in alveolar glands, exits through lactiferous ducts and sinus at the nipple.

Question 31

What type of breast tissue is responsible for milk production?

Answer 31

glandular tissue

Question 32

What is another term for childbirth, and what events does it encompass?

Answer 32

Another term for childbirth is parturition. It encompasses the events leading to the expulsion of the infant from the uterus, known as labor.

Question 33

What occurs during false labor, and what physiological changes trigger these contractions?

Answer 33

During false labor, also known as Braxton Hicks contractions, weak and irregular uterine contractions occur. These happen when estrogens reach their highest levels and the quieting influence of progesterone on the uterus is interrupted.

Question 34

Which hormones from the placenta are necessary to initiate labor?

Answer 34

Oxytocin and prostaglandins

Question 35

What is the dilation stage in labor, and how is it characterized in terms of cervical changes?

Answer 35

The dilation stage in labor is the time from the beginning of true contractions until the cervix is fully dilated to about 10 centimeters. This stage is characterized by the gradual opening and thinning of the cervix to allow for the passage of the baby.

Question 36

During which stage of labor might a cesarean section (C-section) be performed, and under what circumstances?

Answer 36

A cesarean section (C-section) might be performed during the expulsion stage if the infant doesn’t get enough oxygen, a condition called dystocia. This is to ensure a safe and timely delivery via surgery.

Question 37

What happens during the placental stage of labor, and what is delivered during this stage?

Answer 37

During the placental stage of labor, the placenta and membranes (afterbirth) are delivered. This stage follows the delivery of the infant and involves the separation and expulsion of the placenta from the uterus.

Question 38

What causes heartburn in many pregnant women?

Answer 38

The uterus crowds the stomach.

Question 39

Why do pregnant women often experience constipation?

Answer 39

Decreased mobility of the digestive tract.

Question 40

What are some common respiratory issues during pregnancy?

Answer 40

Nasal stuffiness and difficulty breathing.
