Science(3) Flashcards
Collection of ductless glands scattered around thye body.
Endocrine System
Science that studies this system.
Endocrinology
A chemical messenger that released into the bloodstream
Hormone
To excite or get moving
Hormon
Produce and released chemical substances
Gland
Secrete their chemical products through ducts or tubes
Exocrine Glands
Secrete their hormones into the interstitial fluid
Endocrine Glands
Glands that are EXCLUSIVELY ENDOCRINE in function
-Thyroid
-Parathyroid
-Pineal Glands
-Adrenal Glands
Control and regulate cell and organ activities
Hormone
High Lipid solubility but low water solubility
Lipid-loving Hormones(Lipophilic)
High solubility in water but low lipid solubility
Water-solubility Hormone(Hydrophilic)
Neutral lipids that are derivatives cholesterol
Steroid Hormones
Molecules derived from tyrosine
Amino-acid Derivative Hormones
Polymers of amino acid
Reptide Hormones
Small peptide consist.. while large ones consist?
3-49 Amino acid while larger ones are 50 to 200 Amino acid
Regulate the production and secretion of another hormone
Tropic Hormones
Sex cells produced by organism
Gametes
Types of Gamete:
Sperm Cells and Egg Cells
Carries chromosomes
Head
Rich in mitochondria
Mid piece
Made up of FLAGELLUM
Tail
Gametes in female are also known as
Egg Cells or Oocytes
Egg cells mature inside structures known as… and contains one egg
Follicles
Aids in the development
Cumulus Oophorus
Helps in the production of hormones
Granulosa Cells
Producing hormones and providing nourishment
Theca
Protects the egg cells
Zona Pellucida
The nourishment of the egg cell
Corona Radiata
Contails fluid that surround the egg cells
Antrum
Production and maturation of the sex cells
Gametogenesis
Sperm cells penetrates
Fertilization
To reach the egg cell
Motility
It fertilize happen outside the body
External Fertilization
Frogs
Amphibians
Males sperm cell are directly deposited into the body of the female animal
Internal Fertilization
Develop inside the female reproductive
Zygote
Lay and hatch their egg
Oviparous
Complete their development in the uterus
Viviparous
Eggs are hatched and retained within the uterus
Ovoviviparous
Involves the production and nourishment
Gametogenesis
Responsible for maintaing the neccessary for FERTILIZATION occur.
Fertilization
Female reproductive system that SERVE TO PRODUCE HORMONE.
Hormone Production
Female reproductive system that work together in order to allow the body to accomodate pregnancy
Pregnanct
Female reproductive system that work together in order to allow the body to accomodate pregnancy
Pregnancy
Elastic canal made up of connective,fibrous,and epithelial tissue
Vagina
A muscle that holds the fetus during pregnancy
Cervix
Mascular organ that lies between the urinary bladder
Uterus
NARROW 10 CM-LONG TUBES from which egg travel from the ovaries
Fallopian Tube
FEMALE GONAD that contain the egg cells
Ovaries
FATTY PAD over the symphysis pubis
Mon’s Pubis
Posterior to the mon’s pubis
Labia Majora (Labium Majus)
THIN PAIR OF SKIN folds medial to labia majora
Labia Minora (Labium Minus)
CONTAINS BARTHOLIN’S,gland,which lubricates the vagina
Vestibule Floor
SMALL ERECTILE STRUCTURE that respond to sexual simulation
CLITORIS
SMALL ERECTILE STRUCTURE that respond to sexual simulation
Clitoris
SMALL ERECTILE STRUCTURE that respond to sexual simulation
Clitoris
CLITORIS ON THE UPPER WALL of the vagina and is passage for urine
Extarnal Urinary Opening
THIN ORESCENTIC FOLD OF TISSUE which partially coreres the opening of the vagina
Hymen
Located inferior to the penis in the public region
The Scrotum
Testicles are the male gonads
The testes
SPERM STORAGE AREA that wraps around superior and posterior edge
The Epididymis
Mascular tubes that carries sperm superiorly from the epididymis.
The Vas Deferens
Pair of lumpy exocrine glands
Seminal Vesicles
Vas Deferens passes through the prostate and joins with urethra.
Ejaculatory Duct
Mascular tube that passes through the prostate
Urethra
Exocrine glands that borders the inferior end of the urinary bladder
Prostate
Fluid produced by the males for sexual reproduction and ejaculated
Semen
Process of producing sperm that takes in he testes and epididymes of adult
Spermatogenesis
Testerone stimulates stane cellls in the testest to undergo tha developing spermatocytes
Spermatognium
Egg released from ovary, it is called ovulation
Ovulation
Estrogen levels from the follicular phase cause another hormone called…
Leutenizing Hormone (LH)
Women can’t feel exactly when thay ovulate,but some may notice mild crampings for about a day or two and it is called as
Mittelschmerz
Sperm combines with oocytes to produce a fertilize zygote
Fertilization
First day of a period, “new” cycle begin as a hormone called Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Follicular Phase
After ovulation, follicle the egg grew in (called Corpus Leteum) continues to produce another hormone called progesterone.
Luteal Phase
fter ovulation, follicle the egg grew in called…
Corpus Leteum
Period of time that the endometrial lining is released that is why called “Period”
Menstruation
