Physiology Flashcards
Fallopian Tube
site of fertilization
Ovary
Site of gametogenesis
site of estrogen and testosterone
Endometrium
site of implantation
uterine tissue that looses 3/4 thickness of menstrual phase
Myometrium
Smooth muscle in uterus
When is the first meiotic division
During ovulatory phase
When is the second meiotic division
During the ovulatory phase
when is the first meiotic division initiated
before birth
When is the second meiotic division completed females
when fertilization occurs
Ovulatoryphase
When is period of mitotic division completed female
Before birth
what displays both positive and negative feedback
estrogen
what converts endometrium into a secretory tissue
progesterone
inhibits prostiglandin synthesis in the uterus
progesterone
what stimulates release of growth hormone
estrogen
stimulates contractility of smooth muscle
estrogen
what preserves bone integrity
estrogen
stimulates food intake
progesterone
what makes mucus secreted by the cervix
estrogen
when is the beginning of mitosis and meiosis in females?
fetal life
when is the beginning of mitosis and meiosis in males
after puberty
when is completion of second meiotic division in males
After puberty
When does available gametes peak in males
After puberty
When does available gametes peak in females?
Fetal life
The gamete reserve in females is
Finite
The gamete reserve in males is
Renewable
Number of viable gametes after meiosis in females
1
number of viable gametes after meiosis in males
4
uterus
Inverted pear shape, site that develops the fetus
cervix
physical barrier between the uterus and the outside enviornment
fimbriae
capture oocyte and bring into the fallopian tube
syncytiotrophoblast
Produce human chorionic gonadotropin
human chorionic gonadotropin
predict impantation and embryo growth.
make cancer more invasive,
high amounts make double implantation
progesterone
Made by corpus luteam in first trimester
later produced by placenta
when does menopause occur
begins when oocytes start to run out
When does andropause occur
When there is a decrease in production of testosterone
