Reproductive System Chap 22 Flashcards
somatic cells
every cell but sex cells. Have 46 chromosomes total
sex cells
contain 23 chromosomes. Sperm and oocytes
gametes
mature sex cells, sperm of oocytes
diploid cell
contains 2 sets of chromosomes, 23 each for a total of 46
haploid cell
contains 1 set of 23 chromosomes
Autosomes
Chromosomes 1-22
Sex Chromsomes
Chromosome 23
Mitosis
Replication of somatic cell
Meiosis
Replication of sex cell
S Phase
Chromatids replicate so now each cell has 46 chromsomes. 23 from mom, 23 from dad with each chromosome having two chromotids connected by a cetromere
Prophase I
nucleus disolves, Homologous Chromosomes line up (synapsis). So #1 from mom next to #`1 from dad etc. Then crossover takes place. Homologous Genetic material from mom and dad swap in random places on chromotids.
Metaphase
centrosomes release spindle fibers attaching to kinetchore and pull chromomes to the middle
Anaphase
Homologous chromosomes are now pulled apart from each other by spindle fibers
Telephase
splitting takes place as new nucleus’s form. This is also called cytokensis
Meiosis II
splits the remaining sister chromatids apart. Creating two more cells. So know 4 cells each with 23 single chromatid chromosomes

Zygote
diploid cell resulting from the joining of two sex cells
Sustentacular cells
inside tubulars of testies help provide nutrients for developing sperm
Interstitial cells
right outside of tubulars and produce testotorone
epidydmus
long coiled tube that sits on top of the testies that help store and transport sperm. Rythmic peristalic contracts help them mature, but they don’t move independently till after ejaculation
vas deferens
muscular hollow tube that connects testicles. Eventaully joins with seminal ducts and becomes ejaculatory duct
seminal vesicle
releases glucose which goes to mitcondria of sperm allowing them to swim, also secrets prosaladin for uterine contractions and alkaline fluid
prostate gland
produces milky white alkaline substance, helps sperm move faster
Bulbourthral gland
produces precum
gubernaculum
pulls testicles into scrotum
spermatic cord
attaches testicles to body
tunica albuginea
tough fiborous capsule enclosing each testicle
acrosome
sperm hat, releases enzyme to penetrate egg cell
corpora cavernosa
erectile tissue
corpus spongiosum
erectile tissue
male sex hormones
androgen and testosterone, androgen most important
