Reproductive 2 Flashcards
Female sex cells
Ova
What hormones are produced in the ovaries?
Estrogen and progesterone
Accessory organs of female reproductive system
Ducts: uterine tubes, uterus, vagina
Accessory glands: bartholin’s glands and breasts
External genitals: vulva
Basic unit of female reproductive system
Ovarian follicle
How many ovarian follicles does a newborn girl have
About 1 million
Most immature stage of a female sex cell
Oocyte
Ovarian follicles contain what at birth?
Oocytes
An Oocyte develops into a what around the time that a female reaches puberty?
Primary follicle
About how many primary follicles does a girl have at puberty
400000
Each primary follicle is surrounded by
Granulosa cells
About how many primary follicles develop into mature follicles in an adult woman
350-500
A primary follicle eventually develops into its latets stage, a
Mature follicle
A mature follicle is sometimes called
A graffian follicle
A hollow chamber that appears as the Oocyte matures and the granulosa cell layer thickens
Antrum
The development of the Antrim results in the formation of
A secondary follicle
After ovulation, the ruptured follicle is transformed into a glandular structure called the
Corpus luteum
Corpus luteum is from the Latin word meaning
Yellow body
The production of female sex cells is called
Oogenesis
After meiosis occurs, four sex cells are made. One is called what? The other three are called what?
Ovum and polar bodies
The granulosa cells surrounding the Oocyte secrete what?
Estrogen
The corpus luteum secretes
Primarily progesterone, but some estrogen
Sex hormone that causes the development and maintenance of the female secondary sex characteristics
Estrogen
Functions of estrogen
1 development and maturation of female sex organs
2 appearance of pubic hair and breast development
3 development of female boy contours
4 initiation of the first female
Fallopian tubes are also called
Uterine tubes and oviducts
The Fallopian tubes begin with extended, funnel-shaped and fringe like projection called
Fimbrae
The mucosal lining the the Fallopian tubes is consistent with
The lining of the abdominal cavity, uterus, and vagina
Two parts of the uterus
Body and cervix
Muscle of the uterus
Myometium
Part of the uterus above where the Fallopian tubes attach
Funds
The uterus functions in three processes
Menstruation, pregnancy, and labor
Mucous membrane lining of the uterus
Endometrium
About how many days after ovulation a does the corpus luteum stop secreting hormones?
11
What happens about 3 days after the secretion of hormones from the corpus luteum stops?
Menstruation
When menstruation ceases
Menopause
When an ovum implants anywhere but the uterus
Ectopic pregnancy
Long and made mostly of smooth muscle. Part of the female reproductive tract that opens to the exterior
Vagina
Bartholin’s glands are also called
Greater vestibular gland
Secretes mucous like fluid and open between the Lanka minors and vaginal ordice
Bartholin’s glands
Space between the labia minors and vaginal orifice
Vestibule
Each lobe of the breast contains
Lobules
Each lobule consists of
Milk secreting glandular cells
Milk secreting cells are arrange in grape like clusters called
Alveoli
Drain alveoli and converge toward nipples
Lactiferous ducts
Colors are around a nipple
Areola
Essential female sex organ
Ovaries
