ovaries are gonads bc they produce
Definition
eggs
Term
ovaries are located in the

oogenesis
Term
oviducts are also known as
Definition
uterine tubes,fallopian tubes
Term
lining of the uterus

28 days
Term
hypothalumus sends out this hormone to the pituitary gland
Definition
GNRH
Term
pituitary gland sends out these two hormones to the ovaries
Definition
FSH LH
Term
FSH goes to what part of the ovaries
Definition
follicles
Term
lh goes from the pituitary gland to the
Definition
Corpus luteum with in the ovaries
Term
ovaries produce what hormone to the uterus
Definition
estrogen and progesterone
Term
fertilization occurs when a sperm nucleus enters the
Definition
secondary oocyte
Term
fertilization occurs in the upper
Definition
1/3 oviduct
Term
fertilization produces a
Definition
zygote
Term
what does morula do
Definition
develop into blastocyte, which implants in the endometrium = pregnancy
Term
a placenta develops from birth embryonic and
Definition
maternal tissues
Term
the placenta creates the hormone
Definition
human chronic gonadotropin
Term
human chronic gonadatropin maintains the
Definition
corpus luteum and prevents menstration
Term
the ovarian cycle consist of how many phases
Definition
3
Term
the 3 phases of ovarian cycle are
Definition
follicular,ovulation,luteal
Term
how many days in the follicular phase
Definition
1-13
Term
what is involved in the follicular phase
Definition
primary follicle contains primary oocyte. Secondary follicle coontains secondary oocyte "egg" develops into vesicle follicle
Term
ovulation has how many days
Definition
14
Term
what occurs in ovulation
Definition
vesicle follicle moves to the ovary's surface and releases "eggs" during ovulation
Term
luteal phase occurs in which days
Definition
15-28
Term
uterine cycle has 3 phases, they are
Definition
menstruation-proliferative-secretory
Term
what occurs in menstruation day (1-5
Definition
blood and tissues from the endometrium pass out of the vagina-occurs in the absence of the pregnancy
Term
what occurs in proliferative phase day (6-13)
Definition
endometrium becomes more vascular and glandular
Term
the secretory phase day(14-28) what occurs here
Definition
endometrium continues to develop and glands begin secreting a mucus coat
Term
this gland secretes a ph balancing hormone to counteract the acidity in the female repro. system
Definition
prostate
Term
tubules that produce sperm
Definition
seminiferous tubules
Term
bulbourethral glands
Definition
secretes a basic ph mucus the lubricates and counteracts the acidity in the urethra caused by urine
Term
seminal vesiciles
Definition
secrete nutrients for the sperm
Term
this lays behind the seminifourous tubules and where the sperm mature
Definition
epididymus (qty 2)
Term
interstitial cells produce
Definition
testosterone
Term
acrosome has an enzyme for
Definition
fertilization
Term
3 types of multicellular reproduction
Definition
budding-vegetation-fragmentation
