Q

prostate gland

A

f. Prostate gland also add fluid to the sperm to allow sperm to swim more freely

25
penis
g. Penis the male organ that allows ejaculate when erected and urine to pass
26
urethra
h. Urethra inside of the penis taking urine from the bladder to the outside of body and in males, also ejaculate
27
ova
i. Ova the female gamete that is also known as an egg and when fertilised, becomes zygote
28
ovaries
j. Ovaries where the ova are produced and release one ova per month and they form in a capsule called a follicle
29
fallopian tubes
k. Fallopian tubes carry the egg from the ovary when is where fertilization occurs. The egg then implants into endometrium.
30
uterus
l. Uterus where the egg is carried to in order to grow into a foetus and swell up to many times its size. It is a thick-walled muscular organ
31
endometruim
m. Endometrium a thick lining in the uterus where the egg gets implanted. It gets thickened each month preparing or pregnancy and when it doesn’t occur, it sheds with blood through menstruation.
32
cervix
n. Cervix a tight ring of muscle that closes tightly to keep the uterus closed and when pregnant so that baby doesn’t fall out. opens up at birth
33
vagina
o. Vagina a muscular tube starting from the cevix to the outside of body where pensi is inserted and carries the sperm.
34
testosterone function and where it comes from?
Testosterone is produced from the testes and helps mature sperm
35
main female reproductive hormones
Estrogen causes the uterus lining to grow thicker with increased blood supply. Progesterone helps thicken lining of uterus to prepare for an egg. Luteal hormone makes the egg burst out of the follicle this is called ovulation. Follicle stimulating hormone causes the follicle to mature
36
13. What is the male gamete? Where are they produced? When are they produced?
The male gamete is sperm cells, and they are produced in the testes. They are made when a male reaches sexual maturity through puberty and when experiencing his first ejaculation
37
14. What is the female gamete? Where are they produced? When are they produced?
Female gametes are ova or eggs produced in the ovaries. They are produced during puberty every month during mensturation
38
sexual maturity
Sexual maturity is when an organism is prepared to reproduce sexually. The capability of an organism to reproduce.
39
18. What are some changes that occur for males during puberty?
broad shoulders, facial hair, deeper voice, penis enlargement, testes enlargement
40
19. What are some changes that occur for females during puberty?
Wider hips, pubic hair, oily skin, larger vagina, breast development
41
20. What are some changes that occur for both males and females during puberty?
Oily skin, pubic hair, voice deepens, acne heigh increases, smell
42
4 phases if mensturation
mentruation phase follicluar phase ovulation phase luteal phase
43
menstruation phase
The menstruation phase occurs after hormone levels dropped at end of perivous cycle signaling blood and tissue lining uterus to break down and shed wit bleeding lasting about 5 days.
44
follicluar phase
He follicular phase is usually by day 7 when bleeding has stopped. Hormones cause fluid filled pockets called follicles to develop on ovaries containg an egg. Between day 7 and day 14, one follicle will continue to develop.
45
ovulation phase
The ovulation phase is around day 14 where the mature follicle burst and release egg from ovary called ovulation
46
luteal phase
the luteal phase is The lining of uterus thickens waiting for implantation and over the next few days, egg travels down from fallopian tubes down to uterus.
47
22. When does the menstrual cycle usually start in the lifespan and when does it usually stop occurring?
It usually starts at 12 to 14 years old and usyally stops when youre 40 of 50
48
placenta?
The placenta grows on the uterus during pregnancy and it is what attcathes the umbilical cord from the mother to the baby passing oxygen and nutrients.
49
gestation?
Gestation Is the period in which the foetus develops which usually takes 38 weeks
50
labour?
Labour is divided into 3 stages. The first stage is the dilation of the cervix, the second stage is the birth of the baby, and the third stage is the delivery of the placenta.
51
27. What are the 3 stages of birth? What occurs at each stage.
The 1st stage is pain in the admonen which is the cervix contracting called dilation and they get more painful and closer together. The amniotic sac burts and then the 2nd stage Is babys head begins to pass through the cervixand is born. The umbilical cord is cut and the placenta expels from mothers body called afterbitrht.
52
stamen
male part of the flower consisting of anther help up by the filament
53
anther
produces male gametes (pollen grains)
54
filament
thread like stme that holds up the anther
55
carpel
female parts of the flower consisting of stigma, style and ovary
56
stigma
top of the female part of a flower that collects the pollen grains.
57
style
long stalk connecting stigma to ovary and also where pollen travels down to ovary
58
ovary
bottom of female part of flower producing female gametes and where fertlization occurs
59
puberty
the time in which physical changes occur leading to sexual maturity
