UNIT TEST 4 Flashcards
formation of sperm cells
SPERMATOGENESIS
Starts after puberty
SPERMATOGENESIS
Somatic cells (everything except sperm and egg cells)
MITOSIS
2 daughter cells ; 46 chromosomes each daughter cells
MITOSIS
Can be seen in injury repair
MITOSIS
Sex cells (sperm and egg)
MEIOSIS
4 daughter cells ; because of meiosis i and meiosis ii ; 23 chromosomes each daughter cells
MEIOSIS
what stimulates spermatogenesis
GnRH, FH, LH
father cell
Spermatogonium
spermatogonium process
- undergoes mitosis first.
- 2 daughter cells
- daughter cells will continue meiosis or mitosis.
meiosis i.
Primary spermatocyte
First meiosis product
second spermatocyte
meiosis ii.
Secondary spermatocyte
product of secondary spermatocyte?
spermatid
spermatozoa
sperm
semen contents?
fructose and prostaglandins
nourishes sperm
fructose
cause contraction
prostaglandins
posterior to the urinary gland in male
prostate gland
carries semen and urine
urethra
Acts in urinary and reproductive
Urethra
longest part of the male urethra
Spongy urethra
contracts, causing the skin of the scrotum to become FIRM AND WRINKLED AND REDUCING IT’S OVERALL SIZE.
Dartos muscle
extension of the abdominal skeletal muscles into the scrotum, contract and help pull the testes near the body.
Cremaster muscle
Flow of Semen
seminiferous tubules → tubuli recti → rete testis → epididymis → ductus deferens → ejaculatory duct → urethra
happens in the ovaries ;
oogenesis
Starts even before birth
oogenesis
mother cell
oogonia
oogenesis
- Will first undergo mitosis
- Daughter cell might go to meiosis i.
- Stops at prophase i
stops at prophase i.
Primary oocyte
Birth to puberty =
no changes
estrogen and progesterone and other hormones will rise
After puberty
primary oocyte will continue the cycle
Hormones rise
Meiosis I product
secondary oocyte
There is ____ so only 1 can fully become an oocyte
unequal cell division
Smaller cell
polar body
Not capable of becoming an oocyte
Smaller cell
meiosis ii.
Secondary oocyte
Will stop at metaphase
meiosis ii secondary oocyte
meiosis II Will only continue if
secondary oocyte is fertilized by a sperm
is the one who will be fertilized by the sperm
secondary oocyte
