18
Q

It provides an appropriate environment for fetus and contains every necessary nutrients for the babies to grow

A

Uterus

19
Q

It is the inner layer of uterus where the embryo is implanted

A

Endometrium

20
Q

It induces uterine contractions and functions when the female is giving birth

A

Myometrium

21
Q

It will host a fertilized embryo as it grows into a baby. It expands while the embryo grows since it houses the baby.

A

Fundus

22
Q

It is the tube that connects the uterus and vagina

A

Cervix

23
Q

It serves as the birth canal and joins the cervix to the outside of the body

A

Vagina

24
Q

It serves as the body’s smart control coordinating center. Its main function is to keep your body in a stable state called homeostasis. It does its job by directly influencing your autonomic nervous system or by managing hormones.

A

Hypothalamus

25
Q

It releases two hormones called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

A

Pituitary Gland

26
Q

It is necessary for sperm and egg production

A

follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

27
Q

It is relevant for the production of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone

A

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

28
Q

It is necessary to continue the process of
spermatogenesis.

A

Testosterone

29
Q

It is the reproductive hormone in females that assists in endometrial regrowth, ovulation, and calcium absorption.

A

Estrogen

30
Q

It assists in endometrial re-growth and inhibition of FSH and LH release.

A

Progesterone

31
Q

T OR F

Testosterone only exists in male

A

False

32
Q

T OR F

Testosterone is more dominant on male but they still have estrogen on their body

A

True

33
Q

T OR F

Estrogen is more dominant on female but they still have testosterone

A

True

34
Q

What is the maximum temperature of the testes so that they can still produce sperm?

A

36 degrees

35
Q

T OR F

If at least one organ malfunctioned, male/female reproductive system will not be affected causing it to still function

A

False

36
Q

It is formed by the fusion of the vas deferens and the seminal vesicles.

A

Ejaculatory Ducts

37
Q

It is the “large lips” that enclose and protect the other external reproductive organs of female. It contains sweat and oil -secreting glands.

A

Labia majora

38
Q

It is the “small lips” that lies inside the labia majora, it surrounds the openings to the vagina and urethra.

A

Labia Minora

39
Q

It is located besides the vaginal opening and produce a fluid (mucus) secretion.

A

Bartholin’s glands

40
Q

It is the main body of the uterus that easily expand to hold a developing baby.

A

Corpus

41
Q

These are chemicals that stimulates or regulate the activity of cells or organs.

A

Hormones

42
Q

It is secreted by the pituitary gland throughout life. This is necessary for growth, without this hormone dwarfism results.

A

Pituitary growth hormone

43
Q

It is necessary for normal growth, though it does not itself stimulate growth. Without this, cells do not develop and function properly, especially in the brain hormone, cells lack
this at birth are small and have insufficiently developed brains, they are known as cretins.

A

Thyroid Hormone

44
Q

They make chemical called hormones meaning arouse to activity and
pass them straight into the blood stream. They influence or control a wide range of physiological activities such as growth, development, puberty, regulates sugar lev-
els, bone growth and appetite.

A

Endocrine Glands
