Reproductive 2 Flashcards
The process by which seminiferous tubules produce sperm is called
Spermatogenesis
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone stimulates the anterior pituitary to
release Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Luteinizing Hormone.
The ____ release testosterone which helps in the formation of sperm and development of the male reproductive system.
Interstitial Cells/Leydig Cells
____ inhibits the release of GnRH & LH, and ___ inhibits the release of FSH.
Testosterone
Inhibin
The tube that transports ova from ovaries to uterus is called
Fallopian Tube/Uterine Tube.
The formation of gametes in the ovaries is termed
Oogenesis
initiates follicular growth.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone
- The rupture of a developing ovum from the ovary into the pelvic cavity is called
Ovulation
triggers ovulation and then promotes the formation of the corpus luteum.
Luteinizing Hormone
Egg pathway
ovulation – uterine tuber – uterus – cervix - - vaginal canal – vaginial orifice
flow of sperm
• Seminiferous tubules-Straight tubules-Rete testis-Efferent ductules-Epididymis-Vas Deferens -Ejaculatory duct (Seminal Fluid and Prostate Secretions form Semen)-Urethra (Cowper’s Gland secretions buffer the urethra)-(Prostatic-Membranous-Spongy)-External Urethral Orifice
