Q

uterus

A

Inverted pear shape, site that develops the fetus

28
Q

cervix

A

physical barrier between the uterus and the outside enviornment

29
Q

fimbriae

A

capture oocyte and bring into the fallopian tube

30
Q

syncytiotrophoblast

A

Produce human chorionic gonadotropin

31
Q

human chorionic gonadotropin

A

predict impantation and embryo growth.

make cancer more invasive,

high amounts make double implantation

32

progesterone

A

Made by corpus luteam in first trimester

later produced by placenta

33
Q

when does menopause occur

A

begins when oocytes start to run out

34
Q

When does andropause occur

A

When there is a decrease in production of testosterone
