areola

39
Q

the breasts of a male can become permanently enlarged, a condition called

A

gynecomastia

40
Q

each adult female breasts contains mammary glands consisting of usually 15-20 __ covered by adipose tissue

A

glandular lobes

41
Q

each lobe possesses a single __ that opens independently to the surface of the nipple

A

lactiferous ducts

42
Q

the duct of each lobe is formed as several smaller ducts, which originate from __ converge

A

this term refers to the series of changes that occur in sexually mature, nonpregnant females that result in menses

A

mesntrual cycle

proliferative phase

49
Q

the period after ovulation and before the next menses is the __

secretory phase

50
Q

the rate of FSH and LH is low ; estrogen and progesterone is low ; menses

A

day 1 to 4/5 of the menstrual cycle

51
Q

the rate of FSH and LH is slightly elevated ; increasing amounts of estrogen ; endometrial cells divide, thickening of endometrium

A

proliferative phase (day 4/5 until ovulation on about day 14)
