31
Q

Number of Chromosome Divisions (Meiosis)

32
Q

Haploid

A

one set of chromosomes (n)

33
Q

Diploid

A

two sets of chromosomes (2n)

34
Q

Sister Chromatids

A

two identical chromatids attached at a centromere

35
Q

Non-Sister Chromatids

A

either of the two chromatids of any of the paired homologous chromosomes (a paternal chromosome and a maternal chromosome)- exchange genetic material during meiosis

36
Q

Synapsis

A

pairing of homologous chromosomes that occurs during prophase 1 of meiosis

37
Q

Chiasma(ta)

A

the point where two homologous chromatids exchange genetic material during chromosomal crossover during meiosis- sister chromatids form chiasmata, non-sister chromatids for chiasma

38
Q

Sperm Production

A

equal divisions of cytoplasm, four function products per meiosis

39
Q

Egg Production

A

unequal divisions of cytoplasm, small polar bodies formed, one functional product per meiosis

40
Q

Bulbourethral Gland

A

mucus secretion, movement of sperm

41
Q

Epididymis

A

7-meter-long coiled tube, stores sperm for up to three months

42
Q

Penis

A

has three columns of tissue that can become engorged with blood and lead to an erection

43
Q

Prostate Gland

A

contributes alkaline fluide to neutralize acidic female reproductive tract

44
Q

Scrotum

A

sac containing the two testes

45
Q

Seminal Vesicle

A

makes fructose (sperm energy), prostaglandins (local hormone, stimulates muscle contraction in women)

46
Q

Seminiferous Tubules

A

produces gametes

47
Q

Testes

A

site of sperm production

48
Q

Urethra

A

runs from the bladder, through the prostate, and out the shaft of the penis

49
Q

Vas Deferens

A

place where the sperm move through during intercourse

50
Q

Acrosome

A

contains enzymes that break down protective layers surrounding an egg

51
Q

Head

A

contains the nucleus with the DNA

52
Q

Middle Piece (body)

A

contains many energy-generating mitochondria

53
Q

Tail

A

flagellum which propels the sperm

54
Q

Ovary

A

where eggs are produced- diploid cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid eggs

55
Q

Fallopian Tube

A

connects to the top of the uterus on both sids, ovulated oocyte moves through it

56
Q

Uterus

A

also called the womb, where an embryo develops throughout pregnancy

57
Q

Vagina

A

tube-like chamber into which sperm are released during intercourse

58
Q

Clitoris

A

provides pleasure

59
Q

Follicle

A

the small structure in which and egg will form

60
Q

Corpus Luteum

A

a yellowish mass composed of the follicular cells remaining in the ovary which secrete progesterone and estrogen

61
Q

GnRH

A

from hypothalamus, stimulates the pituitary to release FSH and LH

62
Q

FSH

A

follicle stimulating hormone, influences follicle maturation, egg is developed within follicle

63
Q

LH

A

luteinizing hormone, stimulates ovulation

64
Q

Testosterone

A

stimulates sperm production

65
Q

Estrogen

A

causes the regeneration of the endometrium, when estrogen levels drop, the pituitary releases FSH

66
Q

Progesterone

A

thickens the endometrium (lining of the uterus) in preparation for a embryo

67
Q

Ovulation

A

Triggered by a sudden ovulatory surge of LH (which ruptures the
dominant follicle), the cell (oocyte) that will become the egg is released from the ovary
into the abdominal cavity

68
Q

Fertilization

A

the process that fuses an ovum with a sperm, eventually leading to the development of an embryo

69
Q

Implantation

A

the very early stage of pregnancy at which the conceptus (blastocyst) adheres to the wall of the uterus
