Reproductive system Flashcards
origin of testes
Wolffian duct
are lined with columnar epithelium
site of spermatogenesis (64 days)
Seminiferous tubules
lined w/ pseudostatufied columnar
site of maturation & storage of sperm cell
epididymis
lined with pseudostatified columnar
transport sperm cell to ejaculatory duct
Vas deferens/muscular tube/ ductus deferens
(3) Accessory gland found in urinary bladder
- Seminal vesicle
- Prostate gland
- Cowpers gland
developed from vas deferens
lie behind the urinary bladder
produces semen & fructose
Seminal Vesicles
neck of urinary bladder
produces alkaline mucus
Prostate Gland
below the urinary bladder
to stimulate ejaculation
cowper’s / bulbourethral gland
induced by FSH
secretes inhibin & androgen binding protein
Sertoli (Sustentacular) cell
induced luteinizing hormone
secretes testosterone mainly for sperm cell production
Leydig (interstitial) cell
what maintains blood testes barrier
Sertoli
what is the cell responsible for sperm cell production
leydig cell
complete removal of vas deferens
Vasectomy
mechanism of action of Viagra (blue pill)
Erectal dysfunction
inc. nitric oxide
‼️
active component of viagra is
Sildenafil citrate
with age 45 the prostate becomes enlarged due to
Benign nodular hyperplasia
2nd most cancer in male
Prostate cancer
Lung cancer- 1st common
contain mammary gland with 15-25 lobes of alveoli
It lies on the pectoralis major muscle
Breasts
(4) parts of Female Breast
- Cooper’s ligament
- Myoepithelial cells
- Areola
- Alveoli
main suspensory ligament of the breasts
Cooper’s ligament
star shaped specialized contractile cell for secretion of milk
Myoepithelial cells
pink brown pigmented region surrounding thr nipple area
Areola
produce milk
Alveoli
responsibel for pain on the nipple area
T4 dermatome
Herpes Zoster
Lactation begins
2nd trimester of preganncy
major hormone stimulationg the production of milk
Prolactin
secretes milk
Oxytocin
stimulates surge of prolaction profductipn
Suckling reflex
watery fluid produced by the breast 24-48hrs delivery marks the begining of milk secretion
Colostrum
originated in mullerian duct
Reproductive tract
most acidic environment due to prevention to infection
Vagina
most abundant mucous content
Cervix
site of embroyonic & fetal development
Uterus- implantation
Fallopian tube- fertilization- Ampulla
lining of uterus
main layer involved during menstrual cycle
site of implantation of zygote
Endometrium
layer that contain muscle contraction
Myometrium
outer serous coat of the uterus
Perimetrium
lined with simple ciliated columnar
Fallopian Tube (Oviduct)
site of fertilization or AMPHIMIXIS
Ampulla
produces ovum
follicle cell
is a follicle without ovum . once emptied it will produce estrogen & progesterone
Corpeus luteum
induced by FSH
binding site of estrogen
Granulosa Cell
induced by LH
bindingnsite of Progesterone
Theca Cell
content of oral contraceptive
synthetic progesterone
surgical removal of uterus & uterine artery
Hysterectomy
Menstrual cycle
28 days
Phases:
progesterone level increased
menstrual phase (3-5 days)
estrogen level is increased .. highest peak of Fertilization
Proliferative phase (10-14 days)
estrogen level is increased surge of LH due to shifting in anterior pituitary gland secretion
Secretory phase (Ovulation)
progesterone leve increased
Luteal Phase (12-16 days)
Pregnancy
280 days
indicator of pregnancy is
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
1st trimester
estrogen(estradiol) increased
organogenesis
embryo-fetus development
No drugs in all form
2nd trimester
progesterone increased
lactation starts
presence of heart beat (5 mos.)
safest for dental procedure
3rd trimester
organs are functional
protected by a layer of glycoproteins called
Ovum (haploid)
Zona Pellucida
sperm cell (haploid) binds to zona pellucida via
Acrosomal reactions
is a series of biochemical reaction that the sperm uses to break through the zona pellucida
Acrosomal reaction
is a type of cell produced by cleavage (cell divison) & it is essential for formation of blastula
Blastomere
solid ball of cells resulting from division of Blastomere in which blastila is formed
Morula
formed when zygote undergoes rapid cell division
Blastula
spherical layer of cells surrounding the yolk activity
Blastoderm
when the celss of blastula re- arrange themselves spatially to form germ cell layers
Gastrulation
gives rise to nervous system & epidermis
Ectoderm
give rise to muscle cells & connective tissues
Mesoderm
digestive system & visceral organs
Endoderm
hormone is elevated during menstrual phase
Luteinizing
elevated duorng Pregnancy
Progesterone
elevated during Laboring
Oxytocin
most commoj locatiom of ectopic pregnancy
Fallopian tube
surgical incision of the perineum & posterior vaginal wall during stage of labor
Puerperal Episiotomy
most common infection after delivery
Streptococcus
