reproductive review Flashcards
where does fertilization occur
in oviducts
what are the phases in the ovarian cycle
follicular phase, ovalation and luteral phase
what are the phases of uterine cycle
menstrual phase, proliferative phase, ovulation and secretory phase
what is ovaries function
produce follicles and make hormones estrogen and progesterone.
which structure is where corpus luteum develops
ovary
what structure contacts when oxytocin levels increase
uterus
which location of follicular phase occurs in ovarian cycle
ovary
what structure transfers sperm to vagina
urethra
testes make?
sperm and testosterone
where does sperm first become motile
epididymis
what does cowpers gland contribute to seminal fluid
makes it mucus
which hormone rises to initiate follicular phase of ovarian cycle
fsh
what is produces when LH is secreted
testosterone
where in reproductive tract does egg untie with sperm
oviduct
which hormone stimulus contractions
oxytocin
what hormone is released after implantation occurs
human chorionic gonadotropin
what is function of progesterone during pregnancy
maintain endometrium
process of spermatogenesis occur in
seminiferous tubules
ovulation occurs under the influence of
LH
what is pathway the sperm leaves
seminiferous tubules, epididyms, vas deferents and urethra
seminiferous tubules produce sperm when
FSH is present
what increases milk production
prolactin
where is milk produced
alveoli
The function of the corpus luteum is to
help maintain endometrium
Testosterone production in the male occurs in the
interstitial cells
rise in blood levels of FSH at the beginning of the ovarian cycle causes
maturation of follicle
Which two hormones would have reduced levels if the corpus luteum fails to develop?
estrogen and progesterone
Low levels of estrogen and progesterone in the blood will result in
menstruation
Which hormone triggers the release fo the egg from the developing follicle?
LH
what does the seminal vesicles contribute to the seminal fluid?
makes frutose
how does estrogen affect endometrium
increased thickness of the uterine lining
what does progesterone and estrogen do
prepares breast for lactation and thickens endometrium
