Quiz 1 Lecture Material Flashcards
Oviparous
female lays eggs which hatch outside the body
Example of oviparous
birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish
Viviparous
give birth to live young which are nourished by contact between placenta and uterus
Example of viviparous
mammals
Ovoviviparous
give birth to live young which hatch from eggs inside the body
Example of ovoviviparous
certain sharks, snakes, lizards, and amphibians
Induced ovulation
ovulation only occurs after mating
needs stimulation before ovulation can occur
Examples of induced ovulation
cats, rabbits, camels
Spontaneous ovulation
ovulation happens with mating or not
happens every cycle
Delayed fertilization
fertilization is delayed until after hibernation
only found in bats
Delayed development
delay after fertilization at the blastocyst stage
Delayed implantation (embryonic diapause)
after blastocyte stage
delayed implantation in the uterus
examples- grizzly bear, fisher, elephant seal
Two types of delayed implantation
obligate
facultative
obligate delayed implantation
implantation everytime
facultative implantation
may or may not decided based on other factors such as estrogen levels and lactation (prolactin levels)
Spontaneous abortion
abortion that happens for no reason
example- mouse introduced to a male while pregnant, gets rid of babies to not waste energy since the male will eat the babies anyways
Monozygotic polyembryony
one egg is fertilized and then it splits into clones
Armadillo
Communication systems in repro
endocrine system (main one)
nervous system
Endocrine system
- chemical messenger
- secreted by endocrine gland
- transported by blood
- target tissue- physiological response
Four types of cell hormone communication
Paracrine
Autocrine
Intracrine
Endocrine
Endocrine
Through the blood to the target tissue
Paracrine
hormone stimulates adjacent cells without entering the blood
Autocrine
hormone stimulates the same cell that secreted the hormone
Intracrine
hormone stimulates the cell without being secreted
Proteins are (water or not water soluble)
water soluble
Steroids are not soluble due to
rings
Lipids are (water soluble or not)
not water soluble
Peptides
short chain of two or more amino acids
Proteins
long chains of amino acids
Glycoproteins
protein hormone + carbohydrates
steroid hormones are synthesized from
cholesterol
Examples of steroid hormones
sex steroids (estrogen and testosterone)
corticosteroids
