TOPIC 3: Antepartum/ Pregnancy Flashcards
the system that produce, nourish and transport sperm into the female reproductive system for reproduction
male reproduction system
male reproductive organs secretes the sex hormone called
testosterone
2 external structures of the male RS
penis and scrotum
transports the semen into the female reproductive system
penis
3 parts of penis
gland penis, prepruce/foreskin, shaft
cheesy like substance that collects under the prepuce that is responsible for the odor of the MRS
Smegma
failure of the scrotum to descend.
cryptorchidism
it traps the blood to prevent backflow during erection; basically, this is the one responsible for erection
ischiocavernous muscle
5 internal structures of the MRS
testis, epididymis, ejaculatory duct, vas deferens, urethra
regions of urethra
prostatic urethra, membranous urethra, penile urethra
3 accessory gland of the MRS
prostate gland, seminal vesicle, bulbourethral gland
makes the testosterone, and maintains the health of the reproductive system
testis
bag of skin that holds and protect the testicles. it also regulate the temeprature to maintain viability of the sprm
scrotum
secretes alkaline fluid and frcutose
seminal vesicle
walnut shape that is responsible for the prevention of the mixture of the semen and urine during intercourse
prostate galnd
secrete alkaline mucus fluid that helps counter the acidity of the vagina, it also lubricates the urethra
bulbourethral gland
causes the pituitary gland to make and secrete LH and FSH. In men, causes the release of testosterone
gonadotropin releasing hormone
percentage of the content of semen
60% prostate gland, 30% seminal vesicle, 5% bulbourethral gland, 5% epididymis
per cc of semen
40-80 mil
per ejaculation
300-500 mil
system that nourish and protect the developing fetus inside the mothers womb. it also produces the egg cell and is the site for fertilization
female reproductive system
6 external structures of the FRS
mons pubis, labia minora, labia majora, perineum, urethral orifice, clitoris
7 internal structures of the FRS
vagina, uterus, fallopian tube, cervix, fimbriae, broad ligaments, ovary
structures of the vagina that are transverse ridges that becomes thin during delivery
vaginal rugae
this is where the baby develops
uterus
site of fertilization
ampulla
help the uterus in place
broad ligament
milk ejection is stimulated by what hormone
oxytocin
follicle that surrounds the zona pellucida following the ovulation process and this will provide physical and internal protection to the oocyte
corona radiata
the one that supports the communication between the oocyte and the follicular cells during oogenesis
zona pellucida
important part of the extracellular martix that functions in cells during signalization
hyaluronic acid
shedding of the corpus luteum
menstruation
average cycle of menstruation
28 days
menstrual flow contains how many ml?
30-80 ml
abdominal cramping that occurs after the ovulation
mittelschmerz
abdominal pain that occurs during period
dysmenorrhea
hormone that inhibits the production of FSH; hypertrophy of endometrium, proliferation of endometrium, development of breast, incerase cervical mucus
estrogen
