16
Q

The uterus consist of three regions… The narrow neck and mouth of the uterus is called?

A

The cervix

17
Q

The cervix poses a passageway that is connected on both ends of the cervical os called?
Implantation in this area causes dilation in the later stages of childbirth and can lead to complications

A

Cervical canal

18
Q

The uterine wall is composed of three layers the thick innermost mucous lining where the fertilized egg will penetrate is called the?
This layer is two layers thick… Contains the stratum functionalis and the Stratum basalis

A

Endometrium

19
Q

The uterine wall is composed of three layers the muscular middle layer made of smooth muscle for stretch is called the?

A

Myometrium

20
Q

The uterine wall is composed of three layers the outermost serous layer is called the?

A

Perimetrium

21
Q

The endometrium has two chief strata… The functional zone where spiral arteries deliver nutrient rich blood to this zone is called?

A

Stratum functionalis

22
Q

The endometrium has two chief strata… The innermost composed of rapidly dividing cells forms a new functional layer each month… Nourished by straight arteries which delivers blood to the functional zone

A

Stratum Basalis

23
Q

A thin walled muscular tube extending from the cervix to the vestibule, functions as the birth canal, possesses Numerous rugae for stretch… is lined with stratified squamous epithelium to protect against abrasions

A

Vagina

24
Q

The upper portion of the vagina surrounds the cervix creating in anterior and posterior arch- like passageway

A

Fornix

25
Q

An incomplete partition located at the distal end of the vaginal orifice and is often ruptured during the first coitus

A

Hymen

26
Q

Also called the vulva or pudenum

A

External genitalia

27
Q

Homologous to the bulbourethral glands in the male… Produce secretions during arousal

A

Vestibular glands

28
Q

The soft tissue between the vaginal region and the anus, often cut during childbirth in a procedure called episiotomy

A

Perineum

29
Q

One function of the male reproductive system is to manufacture ? and to deliver them to the female reproductive track where fertilization can occur

A

Gametes (sperm)

30
Q

Produce the gametes and hormones, testes of the male, and ovaries of the female

A

Gonads

31
Q

Begin during puberty in males and continues throughout life, occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes and generally takes nine weeks

A

Spermatogenesis

32
Q

Differentiation of immature male gametes into physical mature sperm called ?

A

Spermiogenesis

33
Q

Reference to Each division of a diploid spermatogonium produces 2 daughter cells, one is a spermatogonium that remains in contact with the basil lamina of the tubule and the other is a primary spermatocytes that is pushed towards the lumen of the tubule

A

Mitosis of spermatogonia

34
Q

Beginning with each primary spermatocytes containing 46 individual chromosomes at the in the daughter cells are usually called secondary spermatocytes, each secondary spermatocyte contains 23 chromosomes each of which consists of a pair of duplicate chromatids

A

Meiosis I

35
Q

The secondary spermatocytes soon enter this phase which use for haploid spermatids each containing 23 chromosomes, for each primary spermatocyte that enters Meiosis, four spermatids are produced

A

Meiosis II

36
Q

The spermatids undergo physical maturation to form the spermatozoa, a process which takes approximately 24 days

A

Spermiogenesis
