| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| is the union of the nuclei of the female sex cell and the male sex cell | Sexual Reproduction |
| Female sex cell (female gamete) | Ovum |
| Each sex cell contains exactly ½ the #’s of chromosomes of a normal body cell metes | Gametes |
| Male Sex Cell | Sperm Cell |
| Gametes are produced in special organs called this in both male & females | Gonads |
| The union of the ovum and sperm | Fertilization |
| The fertilized egg | Zygote |
| It is an EMBRYO 0-0 Weeks? | 2-8 WEEKS |
| It is a Fetus for 0-0 weeks | 8-38-40 |
| The period of development within the uterus | Gestation or Pregnancy |
| Secondary sex characteristics | Body hair, breast development, structural changes in bones & fat |
| A new, blood vessel-rich lining called this develops to nourish the embryo, which implants in the uterine lining | Placenta |
| The hormones of the ovaries | Estrogen & Progesterone |
| Located at the base of the brain, secretes other hormones that govern the reproductive functions of the ovaries, breasts & uterus | Pituitary Gland |
| Is the study of the female reproductive system | Gynecology |
| Specialty concerned w/ pregnancy & delivery of the fetus | Obstetrics |
| Study of the care and treatment of the newborn child | Neonatology |
| The region bt the vaginal orifice & the anus | Perineum |
| The external genitalia of the female | Vulva |
| The structures associated with sexual activity | External Genitalia |
| Within each ovary are thousands of small sacs called this. Each follicle contains an ovum. | Ovarian Follicles |
| Is an ovarian structure | Corpus Luteum |
| Is about 5 ½” long and lies near each ovary. | Fallopian Tube |
| The fallopian tubes, ovaries and supporting ligaments | Adnexa (accessory structures)of the Uterus |
| The Fallopian tubes (either one) lead to the? | Uterus |
| A pear shaped organ | Uterus |
| The rounded upper portion of the uterus | Fundus |
| The larger central section of the uterus. | Corpus (the body of the organ) |
| The specialized epithelial, inner, mucous membrane lining of the uterus. | Endometrium |
| The middle, muscular layer of the uterine wall | Myometrium |
| The narrow, lower most portion of the uterus | Cervix |
| In Latin the cervix means | NECK |
| The cervical opening leads into a 3 inch long muscular, mucosa-lined canal called this, which opens to the outside of the body | Vagina |
| Two Mammary Glands | The breasts |
| The breast contain these | Fibrous & fatty tissue, special lactiferous (milk carrying) ducts and sinuses that carry milk to the nipple |
| Giving birth | Parturition |
| Secretion of milk | Lactation |
| The 1st menstrual cycle, occurs at the onset of puberty | Menarche |
| The ovum grows in the follicle during this period | Menstrual Period |
| The empty follicle fills with a yellow material and is now this. It functions as an endocrine organ and secretes the hormone progesterone into the bloodstream. | Corpus Luteum |
| This hormone stimulates the building up of the lining of the uterus in anticipation of fertilization of the egg and pregnancy | Progesterone |
| If fertilization does occur in the fallopian tube the fertilized egg travels to? | The uterus and implants in the endometrium |
| A vascular organ, now forms within the uterine wall | Placenta |
| The inter most of the embryonic membranes, holds the fetus suspended in an amniotic cavity surrounded by a fluid | Amnion |
| The fluid that surrounds the fetus in the amniotic cavity | Amniotic Fluid |
| These two bloods never mix during pregnancy | Maternal blood & Fetal blood |
| As the placenta develops in the uterus, it produces its own hormone called this. It confirms or denies that a woman is pregnant on a pregnancy test. | Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) |
| The events of menstruation and pregnancy depend not only on hormones from the ovaries but also on hormones from this? | Pituitary Glands |
| The Pituitary Gland secretes these after the onset of menstruation. | Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH)_ |
| Menopause signals what? | The gradual ending of the menstrual cycle |
| ERT is short for what? | Estrogen Replacement Therapy |
| Process of formation | -Genesis |
| Pertaining To | -IC |
| Vulva | Episi/o |

| Opening the cervical canal | Dilation |
| Scraping the inner lining of the uterus | Curettage (D&C) |
| Lei/o | Smooth |
| Malignant tumor of the ovary | Adenocarcinoma |
| This tumor often is called a benign cystic Teratoma or Mature Teratoma | Dermoid Cysts |
| Terat/o | Monster |
| PID is an abbreviation for? | Pelvic Inflammatory Disease |
| Premature separation of the implanted placenta | Abruptio Placenta |
| Implantation of the fertilized egg in any site other than the normal uterine location | Ectopic Pregnancy |
| Placental implantation over the cervical os (opening) or in the lower region of the uterine wall | Placenta Previa |
| Abnormal condition associated with pregnancy, marked by high blood pressure, poteinuria (loss of protein in urine), and edema | Preeclampsia |
| Most severe form of this condition. | Eclampsia |
| Woman with severe preeclampsia have? | Seizures |
| Destruction of tissue by burning. Destruction of abnormal tissue with chemicals, dry ice, or an electrically heated instrument | Cauterization |
| Use of cold temperatures to destroy tissue. | Cryosurgery. Also called cryocauterization. |
