35
Q

Site of fertilization

A

36
Q

Implantation

A

Uterus

37
Q

serves as the birth
canal; receives the penis during sexual intercourse

A

Vagina

38
Q

Estrogen produced by:

A

Produced by follicle cells

39
Q

Caused secondary sex characteristics

A

Estrogen

40
Q

secondary sex characteristics

A
  • Enlargement of accessory organs -
    Development of breasts
  • Appearance of pubic hair
  • Increase in fat beneath the skin
  • Widening and lightening of the pelvis
  • Onset of menses
41
Q

Progesterone produced by

A

• Produced by the corpus luteum

42
Q

Progesterone Production continues until

A

Production continues until LH
diminishes in the blood

43
Q

Thickens the uterine lining (endometrium) for implantation of fertilized egg

A

Progesterone

44
Q

Helps maintain pregnancy

A

Progestero

45
Q

Anterior pituitary gland releases follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) that ripens several follicles.

A

Follicular phase (days 1-13)

46
Q

Release of mature egg cell from the
ripe follicle
- Triggered by the rise in luteinizing
hormone (LH)

A

Ovulation (day 14), LH spike

47
Q

Formation of corpus luteum which secretes progesterone

A

Luteal phase (days 15-28)

48
Q

Endometrium is shed off in the process called ?)
- This occurs when there is no fertilization of the egg cell

A

Menstrual phase (days 1-5)

49
Q

Lining of uterus (endometrium) starts to
thicken
- Uterine glands multiply

A

Proliferative phase (days 6-13)

50
Q

Thickening of the endometrium
- If egg is fertilized, this will be maintained by
the developing embryo by secreting human
Endometrium thickens and glands are secretory
chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG)

A

Secretory phase day 15-18

51
Q

happens when a woman’s ovaries or adrenal glands produce more male hormones than normal
• May cause to skip menstrual periods and makes pregnancy difficult

A

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
(PCOS)

52
Q

associated with chronic pain in the pelvis

when the kind of tissue that normally lines the uterus grows somewhere else

• This “misplaced” tissue can cause pain, infertility, and very heavy periods. The pain is usually in the abdomen, lower back, or pelvic areas.

A

Endometriosis

53
Q

Trouble urinating
– Decreased force in the stream of
urine
– Blood in the urine
– Blood in the semen
– Bone pain
– Losing weight without trying
– Erectile dysfunction

A

Prostate cancer

54
Q

sexual dysfunction characterized by the regular and repeated inability to obtain or maintain an erection.

Anything that hampers normal blood flow to the penis may, therefore, interfere with its potential to fill with blood and become erect
.
Specific causes of ED include both physiological (i.e. aging, tobacco smoking, diseases) and psychological causes (i.e. stress, anxiety or mental disorders).

A

Erectile Dysfunction
