Postlab quiz 7 Flashcards
Primary sex organs: male, females
testes
ovaries
Sperm and ovum are these types of cells and are denoted in this manor
gamates, haploid(n)
Fertilization results in this
zygot
Sex chromosomes: male, female
XY
XX
The zygot grows through
mitosis
These develop in early male embryo
seminiferous tubules
intersitial cells
Indifferent gonads are found at this stage
early embryonic
This determines if indifferent gonads will form testes or ovaries, and results from this
TDF, testes determining factory.
SRY gene on Y chromosome
When do the ovaries develop in the embryo
follicles do not develop until third trimester
Testes produce these two things
testosterone
Mullerian inhibition factor (MIF)
MIF degenerates this
Paramesonephric (mullerian) duct
The paramesonephric (mullerian) duct becomes this in men, and this in woman
Degenerates in men
froms uterus and uterine tubes in females
Epididymides, ductus deferentia, ejaculatory ducts are formed from this in the presence of this
mesonephric (wolffian) duct
estosterone
This happens to the mesonephric (wolffian) duct in females
degenerates because there is no testosterone
other embryonic structures in the presence of testosterone become these
prostate
penis
scrotum
other embryonic structures without the presence of testosterone become these
vagina
labia
clitoris
At this time an ultrasound can be used to determine the sex of an embryo/child
12-13 week
Two structures that regulate gonadal function
hypothalamus
anterior pituitary
THis is released by the hypothalamust and affects this organ
gonadaltropic releasing hormone (GnRH)
anterior pituitary
THis is released by the anterior pituitary in response to GnRH
Gonadotropins (FSH and LH)
FSH stands for
folical stimulating hormone
LH stands for
Leutinizing hormone
T/F: FSH and LH are found in only females
F, found in both males and females
Gonadotropins act on this
gonads
What are the sex steroids
testosterone
estrogen
In the presence of gonadotropins the gonads release/produce this
sex steroids
inhibin
gamets
Sex steroids have this type of affect on the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary
negative
primary sex organ in the male
testis
testes produce this
sperm
maturation of the sperm takes place in this structure
epididymis
the ampulla, seminal vesicle and prostate form this
ejaculatory duct
Important glands in the male reproductive tract
seminal vesicle
prostate
bulbourethral gland
The external urethral orifice is associated with this part of the penis
glans penis
Hormonally the imporant part of the male reproductive tract is his
testes
Testes contain this important structures
seminferous tubules
intersitital (leydig) cells
sperm is produced in this structure
seminiferous tubles
injected testosterone does this
negatively effects the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary causing FSH and LH to stop being released
shrinks testes
Process of producing sperm is known as
spermatogenesis
Steps of sperm production in the testes
some spermatogonia undergo mitosis
other spermatogonia undergo meiosis and form primary spermatocytes
Primary spermatocyes undergo meiosis and from secondary spermatocytes
secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis and form spermatids
Spermatids mature into spermatezoa
The maturation from spermatids to spermatezoa is know as
spermiogenesis
Primary female sex organ
ovary
Important female reproductive structures
vagina
uterus
overy
uterine tubes
Eggs are release from the overies into this structure
uterine tube towards the uterus
Fertilization takes place here
uterine tube
The zygote develops here
uterus
How long is the egg viable after ovulation
24 hours
Sperm can live this long
36-48 hours within the female reproductive tract
Layers of the uterus
perimetrium
myometrium
endometrium
perimetrium tissue type and function
connective tissuesite of attachement to peritoneal cavity
myometrium tissue type and function
smooth musclecontractions during labor to assist in delivery of fetus
endometrium tissue type and function
stratified squamous nonkeratinized epithelium; two layers stratum basale and stratum functionale
stratum functionale grows and sheds cyclically. site for implantation of zygote
Female has a limited number of these, that run out at about this time
oogonium
50 years old
Process of oogonium becoming a oocyte
oogonium becomes a primary oocyte
primary oocyte undergoes meiosis to from a polar body (degenerates) and a secondary oocyte
The secondary oocyte only becomes an ovum if this occurs
fertilization
Organ responsible for the formation of the ovum is know as
the follicle
This happens during each menstrual cycle to the follicle
8-10 grow in each overy
This many follicles will ovulate each menstral cycle
1
This hormone stimulates follicles to grow
FSH
When does ovulation occur in the menstrual cycle (days after the onset of bleeding)
day foeteen
Changes in the overy are mimicked by this
changes in the uterus (thickening in the stratum functionale)
This day is when implantation in the uterus will general take place
day 20
Endometriosis is
when the epithelial tissue is not shed from the vagina, but passes back into the uterine tube and back into the abdominal pelvic cavity then some endometral tissue may attach
Birth control: pill
some contain two hormones: estrogen and progestin called comination pills
some are progestin only pill.
most common type of pill
combination
Birth control: patch
Same hormones as in the pill
estrogen
progestin
Birth control: depo provera
long acting progestin from of birth control that is injected into the muscle every 11 weeks
Birth control: nuva ring
Over the course of 3 weeks NuvaRing releases a continuous low dose of estrogen and progestin.
Hormone release is activated when contact with the vagina occurs
What is PID
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
PID is and infection of this
female reproductive organs
T/F, and explain: PID is linked to sexually transmitted diseases
T, one of the most serious complications of STDs in women
PID leads to this (think anatomy)
irreversible damage to uterus, overies, fallopian tubes, and other parts of the female repro. system
This is the primary preventable cause of infertility in women
PID
PID: normally the cervix prevents this
bacteria that enter the vagina from spreading to internal repro organs
PID: this occurs if the cervix is exposed to STD
the cervix becomes infected and less able to prevent spread of organisms to internal organs
PID occurs when this happens
disease causing organisms travel from cervix to upper genital tract
These cause 90% of PID cases
untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia
