Q

interphase

A

~90% of a cells time is spent here: doing it’s thing
enters into mitosis (1 parent cell → 2 daughter cells);
needs to get ready to do this: multistep process
also need to control if it happens at all (loss of control/extra signal to start = CANCER)
DNA is copied (1 chromosome → 2 sister chromatids)
chromatin is loosely gathered DNA; pack it together and condense it (all DNA in each cell = ~2meters in length!)
centrosome is duplicated (remember made of 2 centrioles at perpendicular angle)

Q

Mitosis (Anaphase)

A

heck to make sure all kinetochores attached to spindle
1. enzyme hydrolyzes ATP and pushes each chromosome up the microtubule all at same time
2. centrosome reels up microtubule by shortening the microtubule
3. microtubules not attached to chromatids push past each other & repel poles away from each other

Q

Mitosis (Telophase)

A

Chromosomes stop moving/unwind; spindle breaks down; nucleus reforms around DNA
Cytokinesis happens as Telophase is ending
contractile ring of actin & myosin (like a drawstring bag) pinches in the center
each cell gets some of the organelles & they produce more as needed

43
Q

Meiosis

A

1 parent → 4 gametes [ONE 2n cell → FOUR 1n cells]
somatic cell (body cells; autosomes): 2 sets of chromosomes (1 from mom; 1 from dad) [2n or diploid]
called a homologous pair (DNA is not the same but the genes code for same ‘things’ i.e. hair color)

44
Q

gametes

A

1 set of chromosomes (1 of each original pair set) [1n or haploid]
1n + 1n → 2n (zygote) →undergoes mitosis to → organism

45
Q

During meiosis

A

cells divide TWICE but DNA is replicated ONCE
cross over occurs too: leads to genetic diversity

46
Q

Meiosis I

A

. prophase i: very long time (weeks to months!!!)
1. synapsis: homologous sister chromatids pair up
2. cross over occurs BETWEEN homologs (↑ genetic diversity)
b. metaphase I: sister homologs line up on opposite sides of equator
c. anaphase I: move to opposite poles
d. telophase I: nucleus reforms/cell undergoes cytokinesis (some species skip this)
short interphase followed by

47
Q

Meiosis II

A

a. prophase II: DNA condenses
b. metaphase II: chromatids to the equator
c. anaphase II: chromosomes to the poles
d. telophase II: nuclei reform/cytokinesis

48
Q

End result of meiosis

A

FOUR 1n gametes with DNA different from:
each other AND parent cell

49
Q

Recombination

A

independent assortment above shows red vs. blue but could be lined up multiple different ways

50
Q

Aneuploidy

A

homologs don’t separate or don’t stay together → incorrect # of chromosomes in gametes

51
Q

trisomy/monosomy

A

gamete w/2n for a chromosome gets fertilized by a 1n gamete = trisomy
gamete w/0n for a chromosome gets fertilized by a 1n gamete = monosomy

52
Q

trisomy 21

A

usually viable zygote; other chromosomes: zygotes mostly don’t survive to term

53
Q

translocation

A

a chunk of a chromosome breaks off and sticks to another (= trisomy for particular genes on chromosome)

54
Q

cryptochordism

A

undescended testicle(s); remain in abdomen = sterile b/c sperm need cooler
temps; can be surgically moved to scrotum; if not, usu. removed due to cancer risk)

55
Q

Scrotum contains 2 testicles; divided into 2 cavities

A

skin = epidermis → dermis → dartos (smooth) muscle [wrinkles from tone] → fascia → cremaster
(skeletal) muscle [sexual arousal or cold] → parietal tunica vaginalis → serous fluid filled space →
visceral tunica vaginalis → testis

56
Q

testis

A

surrounded by tunica albuginea (tough CT) → branches into interior as septa b/w lobules →
filled with COILED seminiferous tubules (where sperm are made) → tubules join up at rete testis →
efferent ductule → epididymis

57
Q

Nurse cells

A

encourage sperm production
& secrete inhibin (shuts off GnRH/LH&FSH production)

58
Q

spermatids undergo

A

Spermiogenesis (lose materials, take shape)
NOT motile: need to be activated = capacitance (later)

59
Q

Emission

A

movement of sperm from epididymis to urethra

60
Q

Seminal vessicles

A

60% of semen; alkaline; fructose;prostaglandins (smooth muscle contractions in male & female)
fibrinogen (clot); capacitation of sperm
released at emission: peristalsis of vas deferens, seminal vesicles & prostate

61
Q

Prostate

A

20-30% of semen; seminalplasmin = antibiotic;
swollen/irritated/hypertrophy = restriction of urethra

62
Q

Bulbourethral glands

A

empties into spongy urethra; thick, alkaline mucus (neutralize urine + lubricant);
released during sexual arousal (not emission/ejaculation) can contain sperm!!!

63
Q

Penis

A

epidermis → dermis → dartos (smooth) muscle → areolar CT
prepuce (foreskin) surrounds glans (tip)
contains preputial glands: secrete smegma (waxy, antibiotic)
removed during circumcision [lowers risk of CA, HIV, UTI]

64
Q

Hormones

A

Hypothalamus: GnRH released in 60-90 min pulses

Anterior Pituitary: FSH → nurse cells → promotes:
spermatogenesis & spermiogenesis) &
androgen binding protein (gloms up testosterone)
inhibin release (negative feedback to hypo/ant. pit.)

Anterior Pituitary: LH → interstitial cells in testes → testosterone
stim. nurse cells
libido
metabolism [protein synth, RBC formation & muscle growth]
2o sex characteristics

65
Q

OOgenesis

A

oogonia complete mitosis before birth of female infant
1o oocytes enter into meiosis I but stop: suspended animation til puberty (not all survive)
1o oocyte surrounded by a single squamous layer = follicle cells
1o oocyte + follicle cells = primordial follicle ‘activation’

66
Q

Follicular phase

A

primordial follicle → primary follicle
follicular cells divide & enlarge = granulosa cells;
zona pellucida: microvilli (↑ s.a.)
granulosa & thecal cells (in stroma) produce estrogens

secondary follicle:
begin secreting follicular fluid-separates into inner and outer layers;
1o oocyte still growing slowly

tertiary follicle (aka Graafian): spans entire ovary
LH levels rising at same time: 1o oocyte completes meiosis I
now called 2o oocyte; enters meiosis II and stops

67
Q

ovulation

A

tertiary follicle releases 2o oocyte into abdominal cavity (ends follicular phase; starts luteal phase)

68
Q

Luteal phase

A

empty tertiary follicle collapses → corpus luteum
LH stimulates it to make progesterone from cholesterol: stimulates development of uterine lining
(degenerates ~ 12 days after ovulation)

fertilization of 2o oocyte stimulates completion of meiosis II

69
Q

Menses

A

day 1 of period/cycle [lost: _________________________________]
If no implantation: spiral arteries constrict → degeneration of glands/tissue;
blood vessels burst into CT; all sloughed out thru external os/vagina
lasts 1-7 days; 35-50 mL blood lost

70
Q

Proliferative phase

A

epithelial cells of uterine glands multiply and spread across endometrial surface: restore epithelium
driven by estrogen from developing follicles
secreting thick mucus (glycogen rich = feeds fertilized egg) [days ~7-14]

71
Q

Secretory phase

A

endometrial glands enlarge, ↑ rates of secretion, ↑ vascularization of functional zone
driven by progesterone & estrogen from corpus luteum
persists as long as corpus luteum fxnal (10-12 days)
no fertilization 1-2 days = decline; cycle begins again
(ovulation about 14 days before 1st day of menses)

72
Q

Menarche

A

first cycle; delayed if leptin (fat) levels too low; 11-12 years of age

73
Q

Menopause

A

termination of uterine cycle; 45-55 years of age (lol)

74
Q

mammary glands

A

milk production (p. 1081)
fat pad contains lobules of mammary glands w/ suspensory ligaments
lobules converge on lactiferous duct → lactiferous sinus → nipple surface (come back to next chapter)

75
Q

Hormones

A

coordination of uterine & ovarian cycles: need to be in synch or can’t get pregnant or sustain pregnancy
GnRH from hypothalamus → anterior pituitary
pulse frequency ∆s throughout cycle (unlike males)

estrogens = ↑ pulse frequency of GnRH release; derived from testosterone

progestins = ↓ pulse frequency of GnRH release; derived from cholesterol

Estrogens: bone & muscle growth; 2o sex characteristics; libido (from dev. follicles in response to FSH)

Progestins: endometrial dev. for implantation (from corpus luteum in response to LH)

76
Q

Primary follicle

A

low estrogen levels; GnRH frequency every 60-90 minutes;
FSH dominant hormone; estrogens inhibit LH secretion

77
Q

Secondary follicle

A

FSH levels decline b/c making inhibin; still making estrogen

78
Q

Tertiary follicle

A

estrogen levels ↑ steeply; therefore GnRH ↑;
stimulates ↑ LH release
(at day-ish 10 estrogen STOPS inhibiting LH b/c sustained ↑ levels of estrogen)

day-ish 14, estrogen peaks = LH surge =
1o oocyte → 2o oocyte (meiosis I completed)
rupture of follicular wall
ovulation (corpus luteum formation)
↑ progesterone secretion (+ ↓ estrogen) = ↓GnRH freq.

↓GnRH freq. = ↑ LH secretion = maintain corpus luteum
(lasts about 12 days)-progesterone/estrogen levels fall = ↑ GnRH freq. = cycle starts over
