Anatomy Exam 4

QuestionAnswer
Gamates Cells for reproduction sperm + ova
When does reproductive system become fully active puberty
Where does fertilization occur fallopian tubes
Where does implantation occur uterus, endometium
Zygote first cell, when sperm and egg fuse
In uterus, supports developing fetus Gestation
Birth of a baby parturition
Gonad testes and ovaries
Primary Sex Organs gonads (testes and ovaries)
Sex Hormones testosterone, estrogen, progestreone
Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GNRH) released from hypothalamus to stimulate the anterior pituitary
Follicle Stimulating Hormone What we need to make children Sperm and estrogen production, egg development
Luteinizing Hormone Hormones we need testosterone production, ovulation, estrogen/progesterone production
DNA in dense form (46, 23 pairs) Chromosome
segment of DNA that encodes proteins, why we are all unique Gene
Chromosomes 1-22 somatic chromosomes
Chromosome 23 Sex Chromosome (X or Y)
One is from Mother one is from father (Ex: XY) Homologous Chromosomes
Identical copy of parents chromosomes (Ex: > + < = X) Sister Chromatids
Non sister chromatids exchange DNA with eachother, increase genetic variability crossover of chromatids
Karyotype complete set of chromosomes
Random alignment of homologus pairs to provide variability, you can get one crossover or a different crossover, increase genetic variability Independent assortment
Accessory Sex glands seminal glands, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands
Site of Sperm Production seminiferous tubules
Sperm are stored and mature here epididymis
Cryptorchidism testes dont drop
Where do sperm learn to swim epididymis
Why is fructose needed in the Seminal Glands provide energy for sperm to swim
Prostate sperm activation and nutrition
PSA test blood test for prostate cancer
Benign prostatic hyperplasia enlarged prostate, urinary retention
Bulbourethral Glands pre-cum, alkaline fluid to reduce adicity from pee
Erections are... parasympathetic
Ejaculation is... sympathetic
Nitric Oxide in erections lead to vasodilation which is why penis grows
Spermatogenesis forming male gamates, begins at puberty
Head of sperm contains DNA
Midpeice mitochondria, produce ATP
tail flagellum, swimmer
Oocyte immature egg
Where specifically in FT does fertillization occur ampulla
Ectopic Pregnancy Baby begins developing somewhere it shouldnt, like fallopian tubes or peritoneal cavity
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease infection that can lead to scar tissue and infertility because of chlamydia or gonorrhea
Endometriosis endometrial tissue in areas that it shouldn't be
Risk factors for cervical cancer HPV, STI, multiple pregnancies, cervical inflammation
Vaccine to protext against HPV gardasil
Myometrium muscular layer activated by oxytocin during childbirth
Endometrium sheds during period, where egg implants
Oxytocin milk release, contractions
Prolactin milk production
Atresia of follicles apoptosis of oocyte and surrounding cells
Ovulation of follicles activated primary oocyte that can be fertalized
Phases of ovarian cycle in order follicular --> ovulation --> luteal phase
Follicular phase 1-14 days, new follicle grows
Ovulation phase day 15, new follicle drops
Luteal phase days 14-28, follicle become corpus luteum
Menstrual cycle order menstrual phase --> proliferative phase --> secretory phase
menstrual phase hormones are low, endometrium sheds
proliferative phase hormones are rising, endometrium regrows and thickens
secretory phase hormones are high, endometrium continues to thicken anticipating pregnancy
