Q

Sexual reproduction

A

Exchange of DNA involved between 2 parents
off springs are mix of parents
variation is an advantage for these species

Q

puberty

A

Sex hormones in both male and females are released resulting in secondary sex characteristics developing. Menstruating begins. Age 10-16

17
Q

Menstrual cycle involved hormones

A

FSH - follicle growth and ovulation, pituitary gland
LH - follicle growth and ovulation, pituitary gland
Progesterone - Lining of the uterus
Estrogen - lining of the uterus and ovulation

18
Q

cleavage

A

mitotic cell division

19
Q

ovulation

A

egg released from follicle into fulpian tube

20
Q

Implantation

A

egg goes into uterine lining

21
Q

Embryonic Development

A

1.) Zygote - fertilized egg
2.) Cleavage - mitotic cell division
3.) Blastula - Hollow ball of cells
4.) Gastrulation - Three germ layers form
5.) Diffrentation - proteins activate some genes to become specilized and form organs

22
Q

Differentiation

A

three layers begin to syntheisze diffrent proteins to activate diffrent genes to form organs

23
Q

Embryo

A

Human offspring (weeks 2-8)

24
Q

Zygote

A

fertilized egg undergoes rapid mitosis

25
Q

Fetus

A

human offspring

26
Q

Placenta

A

where the nutrients coming from the mother’s bloodstream diffuses into the child’s bloodstream

27
Q

Umbilical cord

A

connects the fetus to the placenta

28
Q

cervix

A

dilates through labor to allow delivery

29
Q

Amniotic sac

A

filled with fluid to cushion the fetus

30
Q

Months 1-3

A

Most of the organs are developed. Umbilical cord and sac are formed.

31
Q

Months 4-6

A

tissue are becoming more complex and heart beat can be heard

32
Q

Months 7-9

A

mostly growth and lungs become read for the baby to breath on their own

33
Q

Gestation

A

time it takes for a fetus to fully develop to human (40 weeks)

34
Q

Labor and delivery

A

hormone Oxycontin released which stimulates uterine muscles to contract (labor). Cervix dilates and than the baby is delivered through the vagina.

35
Q

Luteal phase

A

after the egg is released from the ovary, the follicle is turned into the corpus luteum (a big yellow ball of cells) corpus luteam disapears if egg not fertilized

36
Q

polar bodies

A

Small haploid cell formed at the same time as egg cell (female, meiosis)

37
Q

Risk of when mother is smoking while carrining a fetus after birth

A

low birth weight

38
Q

vas deferens

A

Transports semen

39
Q

interior fertilization

A

Sperm fertilizes egg inside the female,
1 egg fertilized

40
Q

exterior fertilization

A

Many eggs fertilized
not inside the female

41
Q

Blastocyst

A

Ball of cells with a fluid-filled cavity inside.
