| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ADRENAL GLAND | IS LOCATED ON TOP OF THE KIDNEYS,HAS 2 LAYERS OUTER LAYER AND INNER LAYER |
| ADRENAL CORTEX (outer layer) | CONTAINS 3 THINGS: MINERALOCORTOIDS, GLUCOCORTICOIDS,AND ANDROGENS |
| 1) MINERALOCORTICOIDS | is antibody production helps regulate mineral balance via kidney filtration. EX. ALDOSTERONE |
| 2) GLUCOCORTICOIDS | controls rate at which fat is converted to sugar keytones may build up in blood= ketosis. EX. CORTISOL |
| 3) ANDROGENS | controls secondary sex characteristics. |
| SECONDARY SEX CHARACTERISTICS IN (MALES) | deeper voice change, increase in body hair, increase in muscle deposits. |
| SECONDARY SEX CHARACTERISTICS IN (FEMALES) | breast, fat under skin, higher voice. |
| BEARDED LADY | DUE TO TUMOR ON ADRENAL CORTEX |
| ADRENAL MEDULLA (inner layer) | contains 2 things: adrenalin,noradrenalin, |
| ADRENALIN (epinephrin) | prepares body for stress (fight or flight) |
| NORADRENALIN (norepinephrin) | prepares body for stress (fight or flight) |
| OVARIES+TESTICLES | SEX ORGANS DEVELOPE FROM A PIECE OF YOUR KIDNEY. |
| OVARIES | FEMALE SEX ORGAN. CONTAINS ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE |
| ESTROGEN | controls female sex characteristics, egg developement/producton |
| PROGESTERONE | prevents ovulation, prepares uterous for the egg 1)causes the lining of the uterous to thicken(endometrium. 2) increases blood supply. |
| ENDOMETRIUM | IS THE LINING OF THE UTEROUS |
| TESTICLES | is the male sex organ.contains 2 things: testerone, sperm production |
| TESTOSTERONE | controls male sex characteristics |
| testis | sperm production |
| HERMAPHRODITE | IS IF YOU HAVE BOTH SEX ORGANS. |
| CRYPTORCHIDISM | IS UNDESCENDED TESTICLES. |
| REPRODUTIVE SYSTEM | has female and male primary sex organs |
| PRIMARY FEMALE SEX ORGAN | IS THE OVARY |
| SECONDARY FEMALE SEX ORGANS | fallopian tubes, uterous, vagina, vestibular glands(lubricating fluid), clitoris |
| MALE PRIMARY SEX ORGAN | IS THE TESTICLES |
| MALE SECONDARY SEX ORGANS | epidymus, vas deferas, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, coupeas gland, penis. |
| an egg | is viable for 24hrs |
| fertalization | happens in upper 1/3 of the fallopian tube |
| blastocyst | hollow ball of cells |
| 3-5 days | the egg can be fertilized by sperm |
| corpus luteum | if not fertilized corpus luteum stops producing progesteron then the lining of the uterous breaks down + menstration occurs |
