reproductive

Question 1

biological male features

Answer 1

-has a penis (hehe) and scrotum
-XY chromosomes

Question 2

biological female features

Answer 2

-has a vulva
-XX chromosomes

Question 3

gonads male vs. female

Answer 3

reproductive organs that produce gametes and hormones
M:testes
F: ovaries

Question 4

gametes M vs. F

Answer 4

reproductive cells
M: sperm
F: oocyte

Question 5

reproductive tract M vs F

Answer 5

ducts that receive, store and transports gametes
m: epididymis, ductus, deferens and urethra
f: uterine tubes, uterus, cervix and vagina

Question 6

external genitalia M vs F

Answer 6

visible structures
m: scrotum and penis
f: vulva and breast

Question 7

accessory glands/ organs M vs F

Answer 7

secret fluids into reproductive tract
m: prostate, seminal glands and bulbourethral glands
f: urethral glands

Question 8

ovaries

Answer 8

-small paired intraperitoneal organs that produce oocytes
-follicles and interstitial cells secret estrogen (sexual and reproductive development) and progesterone (maintains uterus during pregnancy)
- stabilize by the mesovarium, ovarian ligament and suspensory ligament

Question 9

uterine tubes (fallopian tube)

Answer 9

-mucus membrane that has cilited and non-ciliated simple columnar cells+smooth m.
-nourishes oocyte and brings it to uterus

Question 10

uterus

Answer 10

-Provides:
*Protection & nutritional support for the embryo/fetus
*A means to remove waste produced by embryo/ fetus
-stabilized by broad ligament and 3 pairs of suspensory ligaments
skeletal m. and facia of pelvic floor provide support too
-intraperitoneal

Question 11

uterine wall

Answer 11

1. endometrium (glandular layer)
2. perimetrium (incomplete serosal layer)
3. myometrium (smooth m.)
4. basal layer (connects endometrium to myometrium)
5. functional layer (simple columnar ET and uterine glands)- changes in thickness during uterine cycle

Question 12

ovarian process

Answer 12

1. oogenesis (production of oocytes)
2. ovarian cycle (maturation of oocytes)
3. uterine cycle (prepares uterus for implantation of a fertilized oocyte)

Question 13

vaginas (functions and epithelial tissue)

Answer 13

stratified squamous
-passage way for period blood to leave
-receive the penis (ew) and holds sperm
-forms lower portion of birth canal

Question 14

testes

Answer 14

-hangs within scrotum
-spermatic cords(ductus deferens,
associated blood vessels, nerves, & lymphatic vessels)

Question 15

seminiferous tubule has… (internal structure of testes)

Answer 15

germ cells- produce sperm
-sperm will then travel through this tube to the epididymis and then the ductus deferens

Question 16

key cells of testes

Answer 16

interstitial (endocrine function) endocrine cells- produces testosterone)
nurse cells (exocrine function)- stimulated by T and follicle stimulation hormone to promote sperm maturation

Question 17

what is the function of testosterone

Answer 17

sperm development and muscle growth

Question 18

epididymis (internal structure of testes)

Answer 18

lines with pseudostratified columnar ET and long cilia
-monitors fluid composition of ST
-recycles damaged sperm
-stores sperm

Question 19

vas (ductus) deferens

Answer 19

smooth m. lined with pseudostratified columnar ET
- can store sperm for several months
-joins with excretory duct of seminal gland
-sperm becomes motile when mixed with secretions of seminal glands

Question 20

seminal glands

Answer 20

-60% of semen volume
-discharged into ductus deferens during ejaculation
-makes sperm motile and provides nutrients

Question 21

what is semen

Answer 21

a mixture of secretions from different glands and sperm

Question 22

prostate gland

Answer 22

-simple columnar epithelium
-produces prostatic fluid (prevents sperm coagulation in vagina and produce an antibiotic)

Question 23

bulbo-urethral gland

Answer 23

-simple cuboidal/columnar epithelium
-secretes alkaline mucus that neutralizes urinary acids
