Reproductive System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The passage that forms the lower part of the uterus | Cervix |
| Female sex hormones | Estrogen |
| Tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus | Fallopian tubes |
| Organ in which eggs are produced for reproduction | Ovary |
| Organ for elimination of urine and sperm from the male body | Penis |
| The gland in males that controls the release of urine and secretes a part of semen that enhances motility and fertility of sperm | Prostate |
| The pouch of skin that contains the testicles | Scrotum |
| The organs that produce sperm | Testes (testicles) |
| The hormone that stimulates male secondary sexual characteristics | Testosterone |
| The tube that connects the bladder to the exterior of the body | Urethra |
| The womb | Uterus |
| The tube that connects the external genitals to the cervix | Vagina |
| The duct in which sperm moves from a testicle to the urethra | Vas deferens |
| The male gametes are "BLANK" and the female gametes are "BLANK" | Sperm, ovum (eggs). |
| Both male and female by necessity have half the number of genetic material resulting from "BLANK" | Meiotic cellular reduction division |
| In "BLANK" the uniting of the sperm and egg nuclei during fertilization recombines a full set of genetic material for the formation of a "BLANK" and the development of a new individual of a species. | Sexual reproduction, Zygote |
| Sperm is produced in paired gonads called | Testes |
| The testes are held in the | Scrotal sac, or Scrotum |
| The "BLANK" holds the sperm "BLANK" of the body, which helps to regulate the cooler temperature necessary for the sperm to mature. | Scrotum, Outside |
| The sperm mature in "BLANK" the a tightly coiled tube on the back of each testis. | Epididymis |
| During sexual arousal, mature sperm are transported from the "BLANK" through the duct system of the "BLANK" | Epididymis, Vas deferens. |
| From the vas deferens, sperm passes through the "BLANK" where nutrients and lubricating fluids are added by the prostate gland, "BLANK" , and "BLANK" to create semen. | Prostate gland, Seminal vesicle, Bulbourethral gland |
| Once through the prostate gland, semen enters the "BLANK" of the penis. | Urethra |
| Fertilization can occur if the sperm meets the egg in the female reproductive system by traveling through the "BLANK" the opening to the "BLANK" and continuing into the "BLANK" where it can meet an ovum. | Cervix, uterus, fallopian |
| The female gonads are the | Paired right and left ovaries |
| Ovaries contain hundreds of immature female gametes known as | Eggs or ovum |
| Each fallopian tube is a passageway that leads into the muscular "BLANK" the normal site of implantation and fetal development | Uterus |
| When a mature "BLANK" is released from an "BLANK" it is swept into the "BLANK" and travels toward the "BLANK" . | Ovum, ovary, fallopian tubes, uterus |
| The fertilized egg will then continue traveling through the rest of the fallopian tube and enter into the uterus, where it will implant into the | Uterine endometrial lining. |
| Labor contractions of the uterus and dilation of the "BLANK" allow the baby to move from the uterus through the vaginal birth canal | Cervix |
| The "BLANK" is the master control gland in the endocrine system. | Pituitary gland |
| At the onset of puberty, the pituitary gland secretes "BLANK" and "BLANK" | Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) |
| In the male "BLANK" promotes the production of sperm, and "BLANK" controls the production of the hormone testosterone. | FSH, LH |
| "BLANK" is produced in the testes and is important for normal development and function of the male reproductive organs. | Testosterone |
| "BLANK" is also responsible for the secondary sex characteristics in males, such as development of facial, axial, and pubic hair, deepening of the voice, and changes in muscular and fat | Testosterone |
| Secretion of "BLANK" in females stimulates the appearance of secondary sex characteristics, such as axial and pubic hair, development of mammary glands, and the beginning of the menstrual cycle. | FSH |
| Approximately every "BLANK" days, hormones of the female system cause cyclic maturation of ova along with changes in the uterine lining. | 28 |
| An ovary contains many immature eggs, each in a fluid-filled structure called | A Graafian follicle |
| In the female, the secretion of FSH by the pituitary promotes the development of a "BLANK" , triggering it to secret the hormone "BLANK" | Follicle, estrogen. |
| The resulting spike in estrogen causes a subsequent surge in "BLANK" . The swell of "BLANK" causes ovulation, a rupturing of the egg from the follicle. The egg is then swept into the fallopian tube, where it can meet with sperm in fertilization. | Luteinizing hormone |
| After ovulation, the empty Graafian follicle becomes known as the | Corpus luteum |
| The corpus luteum secretes the hormone "BLANK" which causes thickening of the uterine lining to support the pregnancy. | Progesterone, |
| If fertilization and implantation do not occur, the uterine lining will be shed in menses of the | Menstrual cycle. |
