all other male and female reproductive organs are | accessory organs |
the primary sex organs (gonads) for males are the...which lie in the... | testes...scrotum |
...travel to the body exterior from the testes through a system of | motile sperm...accesory reproductive ducts |
the accessory reproductive ducts in the male go in the following order | the ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct, and the urethra which opens at the tip of the penis |
besides the accessory duct system, other male accessory reproductive organs, the....are the... | accessory glands...seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands |
the accessory glands empty their secretions into the | sex ducts during ejaculation |
the eternal genitalia for males are the | scrotum and penis |
the scrotum is a sac comprised of | skin and subcutaneous tissue which contains the testes or testicles |
the scrotum is located...to the... | superficial and inferiorly external...abdominopelvic cavity at the root of the penis |
the scrotum responds to | changes in external temperature |
under cold conditions the testes are...toward the..and the scrotal skin | pulled up...warm body wall...wrinkles to increase its thickness and reduce heat loss |
the effects of the sctorum are accomplished through the action of the | dartos muscle(wrinkling) and the cremaster muscles(elevation) |

the ovarian ligament is a distinct...enclosed within the... | fibrous band...broad ligament, and anchors the ovary to the uterus medially |
each ovary is divided into two regions | outer cortex and inner medulla |
the outer cortex of the ovary is the regions that | houses the developing gametes, called oocytes, which occur within saclike multicellular structures called follicles |
the follicles | enlarge substantially as they mature |
the inner medulla of the ovary is the region comprised of | loost CT containing the main ovarian blood vessel, lymph vessels, and nerves |
the ovaries of a newborn female contain many | thousands of primordial follicles, each of which consists of an oocyte surrounded by a layer of flat follicular cells |
the ovarian cycle ahs three successive phases | follicular phase (days 1-14), ovulation (day 14) and luteal phase (days 15-28) |
the follicular phase is when...follicles start maturing | 6-12 |

ovulation involves a...followed by... | weakening and rupture of the follicle wall....violent muscular contraction of the external theca cells |
the luteal phase is when the ruptured follicle remaining in the ovary becomes | a wavy corpus luteum that secrets progesterone and estrogens |
progesteron acts on | mucosa of uterus, signaling it to prepare for implantaion of an embyro |
if fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum... | degenerates in about 2 weeks into a corpus albicans which remains in the ovary for several months and shrinks until it is finally phagocytosed by macrophages |

the uterus is supported by the | broad, lateral cervical, and round ligaments |
most support for the uterus comes from the | muscles of the pelvic floor |
the uterine wall consists of three basic layers from outer to inner | perimetrium, myometrium and endometrium |
the perimetrium is the...which is the.. | outer serous membrane...peritoneum |
the myometrium is a...layer consisting of | middle bulky...interlacing bundles of smooth muscle |
the myometrium functions to | squeeeze the baby out during childbirth |
the endometrium is an...that consits of | inner thick mucosa...simple columnar epithelium containing secretory and ciliated cells |
the endometrium consists of two layers or...including the... | strata...stratum functionalis and stratum basalis |
the stratum functionalis is the | inner layer closest to the uterine cavity |
the stratum functionalis contains most of the | uterine glands and contributes most of the endometrial thickness |
stratum functionalis undergoes | cyclic changes in response to varying levles of ovarian hormones and sloughs off each month |
stratum basalis is the | outer layer that is adjacent to the myometrium |
stratum basalis attaches the | endometrium to themyometrium |
stratum basalis contains the and is not | terminal branches of the tubular glands...shed but it replenishes the stratum functionalis |
branches of the uterine arteries form | arcuate arteries that encircle the endometrium |
what supply the stratum basalis of the endometrium | straight arteries |
radial arteries branch from the | arcuate arteries and supply the straight arteries and the spiral arteries |
spiral arteries supply the | stratum funcionalis |

the menstrual phase of..is the onset of the...and is marked by the | menses...uterine cycle...destruction of the functional layer of the endometrium |
the proliferative phase is when the | functional layer undergoes repair and thickens |
proliferative phase: epithelial cells of the uterine glands | multiply and spread across the endometrial surface, restoring the integrity of the uterine epithelium |
the end result of proliferative phase is | complete restoration of the functional layer |
the secretory phase of the menstral cycle is when the...enlarge and incrase their... | endometrial glands...rates of secretion |
during secretory phase the arteries... | elongate and spiral through the tissues of the funcitonal layer |
the menstrual and proliferative phases are a | shedding and then a rebuilding of the endometrium in the two weeks before ovulation |
the third phase prepares | endometrium to recethe vaive an embryo in the two tweeks after ovluation |
menarche | first uterine cycle at puberty whic typically occurs at age 11-12 |
menopause | last uterine cycle which typically occurs at age 45-55 |
