Reproductive Sytem
Biology Test 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the three types of gametes in sexual reproduction? | Primary Gamete (original diploid) Secondary Gamete (haploid) Mature Gamete (haploid after mitosis sperm or egg) |
| Male gametogenesis anatomy | Testes filled with sperm producing semineferous tubules |
| Male gametogenesis cells | [in semineferous tubules] Primary spermatocyte (becomes sperm) Leydig cells (outside tube)secrete testosterone Sertoli cells Nourish/protect sperm (majority of tubule) |
| List the series of events in male reproduction | Hypothalamus-> GnRH-> Anterior pituitary-> FSH and LH FSH-> Sertoli cells LH-> Leydig cells ->spermatocyte->secondary spermatocyte Testosterone provides constant negative feedback |
| What are the two female reproductive cycles | Ovarian cycle and Uterine Cycle |
| What are the stages of the Ovarian Cycle | 1) 1-14 days follicle matures 2) 14 primary oocyte->secondary oocyte (ovulation) 3) 14-28 days follicle->corpus luteum |
| What is a follicle | Primary oocyte and surrounding follicle cells that nourish it |
| What does the uteran cycle do? | Endometrial lining grows (blood supply and glycogen stores increase) in preparation for fetus, and then is sloughed off |
| Hormonal control | FSH and LH levels rise->1 oocyte maturation-> estrogen-> endometial growth-> FSH and LH decreased by negative feedback-> LH surge-> 2 oocyte (ovulation)-> corpus luteum -> progesterone ->keeps endometrial lining-> LH and FSH low-> corpus luteum det. at 26 |
| What happens if egg is fertilized | embryo secretes hCG hormone; maintains corpus luteum, progesterone stays, endometrium maintained during pregnancy |
