FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE
Fundamentals of Body structures & Functions
| Question | Anon eachswer |
|---|---|
| The primary sex organs of the female reproductive system are | paired female gonads called ovaries. |
| The ovaries are located in the superior portion part of the pelvic cavity , one on each side of the | uterus or womb. |
| A ligament that attaches (connects) each ovary (female gonad) to the uterus is called: | utero-ovarian ligament. |
| The uterus is aka | the womb |
| Physiologies (functions) of the ovaries include: | 1. Oogenesis which means creation of ova aka eggs. |
| Ovaries: | female gonads |
| Physiologies functions) of the ovaries include: | 2. Secretions of the female sex hormones called estrogen and progesterone. |
| Immature ova are called: | oocytes or egg cells |
| A maturing (ripening) oocyte is called: | a follicle |
| Oocytes means | egg cells |
| The pituitary gland secretes a hormone that matures (ripens) an oocyte abbreviated FSH which stands for: | follicle stimulating hormone. |
| The pituitary gland is aka: | the hypophysis or master gland. |
| Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is secrected (produced and discharged) by the pituitary gland approx. every: | 28 days |
| The pituitary gland is controlled by the: | hypothalamus |
| The pituitary gland is aka: | the hypophysis (master gland) |
| The pituitary gland (hypophysis) secretes (produces and discharges) a hormone to stimulate (cause) ovulation abbreviated LH which stands for: | luteinizing hormone |
| Ovulation occurs (happens) when an ovary expels (releases) a mature follicle called an: | ovum (egg) |
| The average human female is born with millions of oocytes (egg cells) and during her lifetime will ovulate (release): | 450 times (37.5 years) |
| The ovaries usually alternate ovulations which means: | takes turns. |
| Union (joining) of a spermatozoon (single sperm) with an ovum is called: | fertilization aka conception |
| An ovum is a: | mature egg |
| A fertilized ovum (egg) for the first 2 weeks of development is called a: | zygote |
| Development of a zygote is called: | gestation or pregnancy. |
| If the ovaries ovulate (expel) simultaneously and the two (2) ova (mature eggs) are fertilized the result will be: | fraternal twins aka dizygotic twins |
| Simultaneously means: | occurring (happening) at the same time. |
| If a fertilized ovum (mature egg) replicates into two (2) separate fertilized ova (mature eggs) the result will be: | identical twins aka monozygotic twins. |
