THE REPRODUCTIVE SYS
ANAT & PHYS I: THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Primary sex organs (gonads) – in males, | testes |
| Primary sex organs (gonads) – in females | ovaries |
| Sac of skin and superficial fascia that hangs outsidethe abdominopelvic cavity at the root of the penis | The Scrotum |
| Contains paired testicles separated by a midline septum | The Scrotum |
| A copulatory organ designed to deliver sperm into the female reproductive tract | PENIS |
| cuff of skin covering the distal end of the penis | Prepuce, or foreskin |
| paired dorsal erectile bodiesbound by fibrous tunica albuginea | CORPUS CAVERNOSA |
| surrounds the urethra and expands to form the glans and bulb of the penis | Corpus spongiosum |
| Upon ejaculation this contracts,expelling sperm into the ductus deferens | epididymis |
| Propels sperm from the epididymis to the urethra | Ductus Deferens and Ejaculatory Duct |
| Conveys both urine and semen (at different times) | URETHRA |
| Its milky, slightly acid fluid, which contains citrate, enzymes, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA),accounts for one-third of the semen volume Plays a role in the activation of sperm | Prostate Gland |
| Produce thick, clear mucus prior to ejaculation thatneutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra | Bulbourethral Glands |
| Its duct has stereocilia that: Absorb testicular fluid, Pass nutrients to the sperm | epididymis |
| The cells which contract to cause milk ejection are the | myoepithelial cells |
| Which hormones is found in a female birth control pill? | estrogen and progesterone |
| The hormone most directly responsible for suppressing uterine contractions during early pregnancy is | progesterone |
| The ovary is attached to the uterus by the ovarian ligament AND to the pelvic wall by the | suspensory ligament |
| For girls, the first changes of puberty are calledHINT: The development of the breasts | thelarche. |
| Stratified cuboidal cells called granulosa cells surround the oocyte, forming | primary follicle |
| Which hormone is responsible for the enlargement of the uterus, the development of mammary ducts, and the softening of the pubic symphysis and the sacroiliac joints | estrogen |
| The most correct sequence of organs through which the egg passes from the ovary to the outside is | infundibulum > isthmus of Fallopian tube > body of uterus > cervix > vagina |
| suspends the ovary in between | Mesovarium |
| contains the suspensory ligament and the mesovariument | Broad ligament |
| Each follicle consists of an immature egg called an | oocyte |
| Cells around the oocyte (one cell layer thick)are called: | Follicle cells |
| Cells around the oocyte when more than one layer are called present) | Granulosa cells |
| The cylindrical inferior end of the uterus is called the | CERVIX |
| The period after birth in which the mother's anatomy and physiology return to the normal pregravid state is called | puerperium |
| The level of this hormone rises sharply just prior to ovulation | LH |
| This hormone directly causes the endometrium to thicken after ovulation | progesterone |
| Human chorionic gonadotropin has this effect | promotes corpus luteum |
| Genetic variation is NOT enhanced through | mitosis |
| In response to parasympathetic stimulation | blood flow increases to the penis |
| The basic difference between spermatogenesis and oogenesis is that | in oogenesis, one mature ovum is produced, and in spermatogenesis four mature sperm are produced |
| The usual site of fertilization is the | uterine tube also called fallopian tubes |
| The uterine layer which is shed with each monthly cycle is | the functional layer of endometrium |
| These cells located in between seminiferous tubules produce testosterone | interstitial |
| Under which uterine phase does the functional layer of the endometrium start to rebuild | Proliferative |
| Which cell type is actually ovulated from the ovary?HINT:Females do NOT ovulate true egg cells | Secondary oocyte |
| Which is the most correct sequence of sperm flow in the male duct system? | Seminiferous tubules; epididymis; vas deferens; ampulla; ejaculatory duct; urethra |
| Which represents a correct cascade of reproductive hormones in males | GnRH; LH/FSH; testosterone + inhibin |
| Within the ovary, progesterone is produced by the | corpus luteum |
| What hormone is responsible for the secondary sex characteristics found in womenHINT: This hormone makes women look like women | Estrogen |
| How do birth control pills (oral contraceptives) work | They inhibit the release of FSH and LH by a negative feedback mechanism, preventing ovulation |
| During which phase is the corpus luteum formed | Secretory |
| The muscular wall of the uterus is called the | Myometrium |
| Which hormone causes the oocyte to matureHINT: stimulates the follicular cells and oocyte | FSH |
| They surround the seminiferous tubules and contract rhythmically to squeeze sperm and testicular fluid through the tubules out of the testes | myoid cells |
| Which of the following absorb heat from the testes? | the pampiniform plexus |
| What structures passes through the inguinal canal? | the spermatic cord |
| Which structure makes up most of the male urethral length? | spongy urethra |
| is essential for an erection to occur in a male. | nitric oxide |
| is a maturation site for spermatogonia and does not contain meiotically active cells | epididymis |
| The meiotically active cells in the testes lie in the | adluminal compartment |
| also known as the Graafian follicle, is the mature ovarian follicle. | The vesicular follicle |
| Fertilization usually occurs in | ampulla of the fallopian tube |
| Which structure provides the principal support for the uterus | The muscles of the pelvic floor |
| The _________ in the female is homologous of the penile bulb and corpus spongiosum in the male | bulbs of the vestibule |
| The labia majora in the female are homologous to the | scrotum in the male |
| What pituitary hormone(s) control ovulation and production of female hormones by the ovary? | follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and lutenizing hormone (LH) |
| After ovulation, the follicular cells that remain in the ovary become the | corpus luteum |
| is the tube that connects the epididymis, where the sperm are stored, to the urethra, the duct that can carry either urine or semen. | The vas deferens |
