A

Prepuce

33
Q

Glans (head), Shaft, and Crura (root). FEMALE

-particularly sensitive to stimulation

A

Clitoris

34
Q

Inner lips surrounding the vestibule where sweat and oil glands, extensive blood vessels and nerve endings are located.

A

Labia Minora

35
Q

Area surrounding the urethral opening and vagina which is highly sensitive with extensive blood vessel and nerve endings.

A

Vestibule

36
Q

End of tube connecting to bladder and used for urination. FEMALE

A

Urethral Opening

37
Q

Also called introitus.

A

Vaginal Opening

38
Q

Area of skin separating the genitalia from the anus, distance is less in females than males.

A

Perineum

39
Q

Collapsible canal extending from vaginal opening back and upward into body to cervix and uterus. During arousal it is engorged with blood. This aids its expansion and triggers the release of lubricants from vaginal mucosa.

A

Vagina

40
Q

Small ends of uterus to which vagina leads. Or is the opening in cervix leading to interior of uterus.

A

Cervix

41
Q

Womb, organ within pelvic zone where fetus is carried.

A

Uterus

42
Q

Carry egg cells from ovaries to uterus, this is where fertilization occurs.

A

Fallopian tubes

43
Q

Produce estrogens and progesterone.

A

Ovaries

44
Q

influences female sex. Characteristics and initiates menstrual cycle.

A

Estrogen

45
Q

aids in regulation of menstrual cycle and promotes mature development of uterine lining to allow for zygote implantation.

A

Progesterone

46
Q

The menstrual cycle marks the beginning of puberty in females. The first episode occurs between 11 to 15 years of age referred to as

A

menarche.

47
Q

pertains to the sloughing off of the uterine lining if conception has not occurred.

A

Menstruation

48
Q

Regardless of the length of the cycle, menstruation begins about_______

A

14 days after ovulation (plus or minus 1-2 days).

49
Q

The overall menstrual cycle is governed by the _________ as it monitors hormone levels in the bloodstream.

A

hypothalamus

50
Q

This occurs if the ovum is not fertilized, and does not implant itself into the uterine lining, the continued high levels of estrogen and progesterone causes the pituitary to stop releasing FSH and LH. Estrogen and progesterone levels decrease causing the endometrium to be sloughed off and bleeding ensues. It is during this time that ovarian hormones are at their lowest levels.

A

Menstrual phase

51
Q

It occurs when the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) that stimulates the ovaries to produce estrogen and causes ova to mature in the ovarian follicles. Endometrium is repaired, thickens, and becomes well vascularized in response to increasing levels of estrogens.

A

Proliferative phase

52
Q

It occurs when the pituitary gland releases luteinizing hormone
(LH) that causes the ovary to release a mature ovum and causes the remaining portion of the follicle to develop into the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum then produce progesterone. Endometrial glands begin to secret nutrients, and lining becomes more vascular in response to increasing level of progesterone.

A

Secretory phase

53
Q

disruption or absence of menstruation

A

amenorrhea

54
Q

painful menstruation caused by overproduction of prostaglandins causing uterine muscles to contract

A

dysmenorrhea

55
Q

PMS, 80- 95% of women

A

premenstrual syndrome

56
Q

is geared to produce and deliver fertilization terms for the
female ovum.

A

Male sexual anatomy

57
Q

marks the completion of the development of the primary and auxiliary reproductive organs

A

Puberty

58
Q

foreskin covering head of penis, removed in male circumcision.

A

Prepuce

59
Q

Glans (head), shaft, and root. The glans is particularly sensitive to stimulation. MALE

A

Penis

59
Q

rim of glans where it arises from shaft.

A

Corona

60
Q

Running the length of the penis is the urethra surrounded by the spongy body and two cylindrical chambers known as_______

During arousal these become engorge with blood, resulting to erection.

A

cavernous bodies

61
Q

thin strip of skin connecting glans and shaft on underside of penis.

A

Frenulum

62
Q

sac that encloses the two compartments housing testes.

A

Scrotum

63
Q

found on head of penis. This is the end of the tube that connects the bladder which is used for urination. It is also tube to which internal structures deliver semen by which male ejaculates.

A

Urethral Opening

64
Q

area of skin separating the genitalia from the anus, distance is greater in males than females.

A

Perineum

65
Q

Produce androgens, particularly large quantities of testosterone, which greatly influence male development and drive sexual motivation. Also, produce sperm cells in virtually unlimited quantity over the entire course of lifespan.

A

Testes

66
Q

Travels from the testicle toward urethra carrying sperm.

A

Vas Deferens

67
Q

Two glands that produce alkaline fluid rich in fructose sugar, comprising some 70% of semen volume. Alkaline nature may stimulate sperm to start self-propulsion and sugar may provide sperm nutrients. Ducts

A

Seminal Vesicles

68
Q

Connect Vas Deferens to Urethra.

A

Ejaculatory Ducts

69
Q

Gland producing alkaline secretions that account for about 30% of semen volume. Alkaline nature may help counteract otherwise acidic
environment of urethra and vagina making them more hospitable for sperm. Fluid passes through series of ducts along wall of urethra.

A

Prostate

70
Q
A
71
Q

Tube within Penis that carries sperm and semen the rest of the way to the opening of the penis

A

Urethra

72
Q

is the primary male hormone generated mostly by the testes,

A

Testosterone

73
Q

Testosterone it is also produced by other glands called the______

A

adrenal glands.

74
Q

is responsible for a boy’s growth and development during puberty, as well as the production of sperm and secondary sexual traits

A

Testosterone
