Reproductive Mace Flashcards
What are the two functions of the productive system?
- production of gametes
2. fertilization
Where does fertilization occur?
in the fallopian tubes
If TDF (testis determining factor) is present during development, what will the testes produce?
testosterone: induces development of mesonephric duct
MIF/AMH: inhibits female development
If there is no Y-chromosome the embryo will go into default and what duct will be produced?
Paramesonephric duct aka Müllerian Duct
External structure of the testis?
tunica vaginalis
Internal structure of the testis?
albuginea
What does the blood testis barrier do?
prevents antibodies in the blood from getting to the germ cells
What do sustentacular cells in the seminiferous tubules produce that inhibits the anterior pituitary from releasing FSH and LH?
inhibin
Sustentacular cells also produce ABP that stimulate the production of ?
testosterone
LH stimulates the interstitial cells of the testes to secrete?
testosterone
Is ejaculation mediated by sympathetic or parasympathetic fibers?
sympathetic
Is resolution where the penis becomes flaccid mediated by sympathetic or parasympathetic fibers?
sympathetic
Is erection mediated by sympathetic or parasympathetic fibers?
parasympathetic
After puberty, the vaginal lining becomes what kind of cells to resist abrasion?
stratified squamous epithelium
The corpus luteum develops into a dead, empty shell known as the?
corpus albicans
granulose cells in the primary follicle produce?
estrogen
In the first stage of oogenesis (prenatal), the primary oocyte stops in what phase ?
prophase I
What is occurring in the second stage of oogenesis (adolescence to menopause)?
- meiosis I is finishing
- the first polar body dies
- the secondary oocyte is ovulated
- start of meiosis II
What is occurring during the third stage of oogenesis (fertilization)?
- if secondary oocyte is not fertilized, it dies
- if fertilized, it goes through meiosis II and becomes a zygote
- second polar body dies
During primordial follicle development, the egg is referred to as?
primary oocyte (prophase I)
During the primary follicle stage, the egg is referred to as?
primary oocyte
During the secondary follicle stage , the egg is referred to ask?
starts as primary oocyte then transforms into secondary oocyte
During the mature/tertiary follicle stage, the egg is referred to as?
secondary oocyte arrested in meiosis II/metaphase
During ovulation the egg is referred to as?
secondary oocyte arrested
If the egg is fertilized during ovulation it can now be referred to as?
a zygote
