Reproductive System III Flashcards
When the GnRH binds to the gonadotropic cells, what happens?
There is a secretion of FSH and LH
The hormones FSH and LH target
The testes
The hormone FSH targets
Sustentocytes, which release ABP
What is the function of the ABP?
It keeps the concentration of testosterone higher near the spermatogenic cells
LH is a hormone which
Binds to interstitial endocrine cells, prompting them to release testosterone
Inhibin is an hormone which is released by
The sustentocytes when the sperm count is high
Inhibin inhibits the release of
GnRH and FSH
The Ovary is a primary sex organ which produces
- Ooctyes
- Hormones
Adult women have follicles which
Surround and support developing egg
Egg production starts during the
Fetal stage
The function of the Duct System is to
Transport the ovulated egg
The Fallopian Tubes is the area where
Egg is fertilized
After ovulation, the egg enters the
Tubes
What sweeps egg down to the uterus?
Peristalsis
The Vulva are the
External structures
The Vulva consists of
- Labia Majora
- Labia Minora
- Mons Pubis
The Labia Majora is the
Outermost fold of skin that surrounds the entrance of the vagina
The Labia Minora is the
Inner fold of skin
The Mons Pubis is the
Pad of fatty tissue that lies over pubic bone
The Mons Pubis includes the
Clit and the labias
What happens to the Clit during arousal?
It becomes engorged
The clitoris hood is analogous to
The scrotum
The G Spot is the area where
A lot of the internal clitoral tissue is located
An ectopic pregnancy is one in which
A fertilized egg gets implanted in the wall of the fallopian tube rather than uterus
