Reproductive System

        Help!  

Question
Answer
meiosis-cell division result in   gametes  
🗑
when sperm and an egg join together they become   a zygote (a fertilized egg)  
🗑
sperm are produced in the   testes  
🗑
sperm transports through   epididymus, ductus defereus, ejaculatory duct, and urethra  
🗑
testes- paired organs in the sac called   scrutum  
🗑
testes develop near the   kidneys  
🗑
cryptorchidism   undescended testes  
🗑
containes several seminiferous tubules   lobe  
🗑
sustentacular cells stimulated by testosterone to produce   inhibin  
🗑
(LH) hormone to produce   testosterone  
🗑

🗑
vas deferens   ductus deferens  
🗑
connective tissue sheath   spermatic cord  
🗑
common place for hernia   inguinal canal  
🗑
seminal vesicles   paired organs posterior to bladder  
🗑
energy source from sperm   fructose  
🗑
alkaline liquid   neutralizes acidity of vagina  
🗑
paired ducts that receive contents of seminal vesicles and ductus deferens   ejaculatory duct  
🗑
prostate gland   muscular gland inferior to bladder surrounding prostatic urethra  
🗑
walnut size   prostate gland  
🗑
Cowpers gland   Bulbourethral  
🗑
contains urethra   penis  
🗑
glans penis   the head  
🗑
prepuce   foreskin  
🗑
surgical removal of foreskin   circumcision  
🗑
3 cavities of cavernous tissue   erectile tissue  
🗑
process of producing sperm   spermatogenesis  
🗑
seminiferous tubules contain stem cells called   spermatogonia  
🗑
spermatogonia undergo ___________ to result in 2 diploid cells-one remains a ____________   mitosis, stem cell  
🗑
FSH   follicle stimulating hormone  
🗑
intiates sperm production   FSH  
🗑

🗑
male reproductive system   consists of the testes and a series of ducts and glands  
🗑
female reproductive system   paired ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, external genitalia  
🗑

🗑
cavities that each contain an oocyte   primary follicles  
🗑
surround each oocyte   follicle cells  
🗑
mature primary follicle   graafian  
🗑
graafian follicles become corpus luteum and secretes   progesterone, estrogen, inhibin and relaxin  
🗑
atretic follicles   developing follicles that become useless and deteriorate after ovulation of the graafian follicle

🗑
ova production continues until   menopause  
🗑
approximately every 28 days   cyclical
