16
Q

mammary glands (females)

A

Lactation (milk production) occurs in modified sweat glands

17
Q

oogenesis (females)

A

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

18
Q

oogenesis relation with ovarian cycles (females)

A

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

19
Q

oogenesis relation with uterine cycles (females)

A

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

20
Q

oogenesis similar to spermatogenesis?

A

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

21
Q

changes that occur during ovarian cycle?

A

-Follicular phase
-Ovulation
-Luteal phase

23
Q

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

A

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

24
Q

menses (female)

A

-menstruation, Endometrium
sloughs off and out

25
hormone triggers thickening of the endometrium? (female)
During ovulation estrogen thickens this
26
hormone triggers release of the endometrium? (female)
Estradiol and progesterone
27
What structures are sloughed off during menses
endometrium/inner lining of the uterus
28
progesterone level remains elevated during pregnancy?
Progesterone is a steroid hormone that has many functions -Preventing preterm labor -Preparing for breastfeeding -Preparing for implantation
29
30
roles of estrogen in reproduction? (female)
-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
31
hormone release by the hypothalamus? (female)
-luteinizing-hormone-releasing -Oxytocin -Prolactin
32
hormones produced by the ovaries (female)
-estrogen -progesterone
33
body temperature be used as a gauge for ovulation?
-Ovulation may cause a slight increase in basal body temperature
34
oogenesis different from spermatogenesis?
-Oogenesis occurs monthly -Oogenesis results in one egg, from primary oocye -spermatogenesis occurs daily -spermatogensis produce 4 sperms
35
Follicular phase
-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
36
Luteal phase
-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
37
Ovulation
-involves the release of an egg (ovum) -Follicle ruptures and oocyte is released
