Q

prostate gland

A

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

25
Q

penis

A

g. Penis the male organ that allows ejaculate when erected and urine to pass

26
Q

urethra

A

h. Urethra inside of the penis taking urine from the bladder to the outside of body and in males, also ejaculate

27
Q

ova

A

i. Ova the female gamete that is also known as an egg and when fertilised, becomes zygote

28
Q

ovaries

A

j. Ovaries where the ova are produced and release one ova per month and they form in a capsule called a follicle

29
Q

fallopian tubes

A

k. Fallopian tubes carry the egg from the ovary when is where fertilization occurs. The egg then implants into endometrium.

30
Q

uterus

A

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
Q

endometruim

A

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
Q

cervix

A

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
Q

vagina

A

o. Vagina a muscular tube starting from the cevix to the outside of body where pensi is inserted and carries the sperm.

34
Q

testosterone function and where it comes from?

A

Testosterone is produced from the testes and helps mature sperm

35
Q

main female reproductive hormones

A

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
Q
  1. What is the male gamete? Where are they produced? When are they produced?
A

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
Q
  1. What is the female gamete? Where are they produced? When are they produced?
A

Female gametes are ova or eggs produced in the ovaries. They are produced during puberty every month during mensturation

38
Q

sexual maturity

A

Sexual maturity is when an organism is prepared to reproduce sexually. The capability of an organism to reproduce.

39
Q
  1. What are some changes that occur for males during puberty?
A

broad shoulders, facial hair, deeper voice, penis enlargement, testes enlargement

40
Q
  1. What are some changes that occur for females during puberty?
A

Wider hips, pubic hair, oily skin, larger vagina, breast development

41
Q
  1. What are some changes that occur for both males and females during puberty?
A

Oily skin, pubic hair, voice deepens, acne heigh increases, smell

42
Q

4 phases if mensturation

A

mentruation phase
follicluar phase
ovulation phase
luteal phase

43
Q

menstruation phase

A

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
Q

follicluar phase

A

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
Q

ovulation phase

A

The ovulation phase is around day 14 where the mature follicle burst and release egg from ovary called ovulation

46
Q

luteal phase

A

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
Q
  1. When does the menstrual cycle usually start in the lifespan and when does it usually stop occurring?
A

It usually starts at 12 to 14 years old and usyally stops when youre 40 of 50

48
Q

placenta?

A

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
Q

gestation?

A

Gestation Is the period in which the foetus develops which usually takes 38 weeks

50
Q

labour?

A

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
Q
  1. What are the 3 stages of birth? What occurs at each stage.
A

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
Q

stamen

A

male part of the flower consisting of anther help up by the filament

53
Q

anther

A

produces male gametes (pollen grains)

54
Q

filament

A

thread like stme that holds up the anther

55
Q

carpel

A

female parts of the flower consisting of stigma, style and ovary

56
Q

stigma

A

top of the female part of a flower that collects the pollen grains.

57
Q

style

A

long stalk connecting stigma to ovary and also where pollen travels down to ovary

58
Q

ovary

A

bottom of female part of flower producing female gametes and where fertlization occurs

59
Q

puberty

A

the time in which physical changes occur leading to sexual maturity
