interstitial cells (males)

Answer 4

nurse/Sertoli cells? (males)

Answer 5

-activated by FSH and testosterone

Question 6

Gamete formation (males)

Answer 6

-produced in the testes(spermatogenesis)
-in seminiferous tubules inside the testes

Question 7

spermatogenesis and occur in what life stage (males)

Answer 7

-process of sperm cell development
-begins during puberty-death
-in several structures like the testes and epididymis

spermiogenesis occur in what life stage (males)

Answer 8

-process after spermatogenesis
-happens in seminiferous tubules
-cytodifferentiation of spermatids.
-at puberty

Question 9

movement of sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the urethra

Answer 9

• Seminiferous tubules(testes)
  -Epididymis
  -Ductus deferens
  -Ejaculatory duct
• Urethra

Question 10

accessory glands in the production and proper function of semen

Answer 10

-Seminal glands
-prostate gland
-bulbourethral glands

Question 11

hormones regulating male development and spermatogenesis

Answer 11

-follicle stimulating hormone
-luteinizing hormone
-androgen hormone

Question 12

ovaries (females)

Answer 12

almond-shaped organs, where female
gamete, ovum, forms

Question 13

uterine tubes (females)

Answer 13

-transport the ova from the ovary to the uterus each month

also known as the fallopian tube

Question 14

uterus (females)

Answer 14

-where a fetus develops and grows

Question 15

vagina (females)

Answer 15

Cervix projects into the vagina, normally blocked by thick mucus. the mucus thins around ovulation phase

Question 16

mammary glands (females)

Answer 16

Lactation (milk production) occurs in modified sweat glands

Question 17

oogenesis (females)

Answer 17

-Ovum production from stem cell oogonium
-begins in utero
-18-22 after conception until menopause

Question 18

oogenesis relation with ovarian cycles (females)

Answer 18

-the process during which the formation of the oocyte takes place

Question 19

oogenesis relation with uterine cycles (females)

Answer 19

-The menstrual cycle begins with the maturation of oocytes through the process of oogenesis

Question 20

oogenesis similar to spermatogenesis?

Answer 20

-both forms of gametogenesis
-diploid gamete cell produces haploid sperm and egg cells

Question 21

changes that occur during ovarian cycle?

Answer 21

-Follicular phase
-Ovulation
-Luteal phase

Question 23

hormone production by ovarian tissue change during the ovarian cycle (female)

Answer 23

-Follicular phase(follicle-stimulating&luteinizing hormone)
-Ovulation(estrogen drops after)
-Luteal phase(Progesterone)

Question 24

menses (female)

Answer 24

-menstruation, Endometrium
sloughs off and out

Question 25

hormone triggers thickening of the endometrium? (female)

Answer 25

During ovulation estrogen thickens this

Question 26

hormone triggers release of the
endometrium? (female)

Answer 26

Estradiol and progesterone

Question 27

What structures are sloughed off during menses

Answer 27

endometrium/inner lining of the uterus

Question 28

progesterone level remains elevated during pregnancy?

Answer 28

Progesterone is a steroid hormone that has many functions
-Preventing preterm labor
-Preparing for breastfeeding
-Preparing for implantation

Question 30

roles of estrogen in reproduction? (female)

Answer 30

-help to stimulate the growth of the egg follicle
-proliferate endometrial cells in the follicular phase(menstrual cycle)
-thickening the endometrial lining in preparation for pregnancy

Question 31

hormone release by the hypothalamus? (female)

Answer 31

-luteinizing-hormone-releasing
-Oxytocin
-Prolactin

Question 32

hormones produced by the ovaries (female)

Answer 32

-estrogen
-progesterone

Question 33

body temperature be used as a gauge for ovulation?

Answer 33

-Ovulation may cause a slight increase in basal body temperature

Question 34

oogenesis different from spermatogenesis?

Answer 34

-Oogenesis occurs monthly
-Oogenesis results in one egg, from primary oocye
-spermatogenesis occurs daily
-spermatogensis produce 4 sperms

Question 35

Follicular phase

Answer 35

-first half of the menstrual cycle and occurs before ovulation
-tertiary follicles matures with the nutrient provided by the surrounding follicle cells
-prepares the ovaries for ovulation
-7-10 days

Question 36

Luteal phase

Answer 36

-luteal phase is the second phase
-prepares the body for pregnancy by thickening the lining of the uterus (remaining follicle cells form the corpus luteum)
-12–14 days

Question 37

Ovulation

Answer 37

-involves the release of an egg (ovum)
-Follicle ruptures and oocyte is released
