Cards

Term
What are the functions of the vertebrate reproductive systems
Definition
*Produce and store gametes
*Produce hormones for reproductive physiology and behaviors
*provide nourishment for developing embryo
*Provide location for development
Term
Describe the arch. duct., mullerian duct, and the metanephric duct. Of a male shark
Definition
Arch duct: Ductus deferens, sperm storage. Drain kidney in same tube but the urine goes through an accessory urinary duct.
Mullerian Duct: Not needed, Males don't transport eggs
Metanephric duct: N/A
Term
Describe the arch. duct., mullerian duct, and the metanephric duct. Of a female shark
Definition
Arch duct: Anterior, no development posterior. Drains the kidney
Mullerian Duct: Oviduct
Metanephric duct: N/A
Term
Describe the arch. duct., mullerian duct, and the metanephric duct. Of a female amphibian
Definition
Arch duct: Anterior, no dvelopment posterior. Drains kidney
Mullerian Duct: Oviduct
Metanephric duct: N/A
(same as female shark)
Term
Describe the arch. duct., mullerian duct, and the metanephric duct. of a Male necturus
Definition
Arch duct: Ductus deferens, sperm storage
Mullerian Duct: Regresses
Metanephric duct: Accessory urinary duct, analogous not really the same thing. A meta duct
Term
Describe the arch. duct., mullerian duct, and the metanephric duct. Of a male Mink
Definition
Arch duct: Vas deferens sperm storage
Mullerian Duct: regresses
Metanephric duct: ureter- drains kidney
Term
Describe the arch. duct., mullerian duct, and the metanephric duct. Of a female Mink
Definition
Arch duct: Regresses
Mullerian Duct: Oviduct uterus
Metanephric duct: Ureter drains kidney
Term
Describe the reproductive structures of females
Definition
Ovaries: for oogenesis, large egg shaped structures.
Oviduct: Ovum transport/storage and fertilization. Tube leading from ovaries
Uterus: Implantation/internal development.
Term
Describe the reproductive structures of males
Definition
Testis- spermatogenesis,
Arch. Duct: Tube leading from testis to cloaca, and transport urine.
Vas deferens: sperm transport. (tube in arch. duct)
Term
What are the factors that have influenced external verses internal fertilization
Definition
Amniotic egg or not (amni. egg favors internal)
Development
Ecological factors
Term
Claspers
Definition
deliver sperm into cloaca for sharks to facilitate internal fertilization.
Term
Gonopodium
Definition
Used by teleosts to deliver sperm into females for internal fert.
Term
Amplexus
Definition
Frogs mate together so that the male frog can be there to fertilize the eggs after the female lays them.
Term
Spermatophores
Definition
Male salamander lays a spermatophore and female picks it up.
Term
How do birds reproduce
Definition
Cloacal transfer
Term
Tubules
Definition
Allow birds to store sperm and mate many times, then select a sperm to fertilize the egg
Term
Metanephric duct
Definition
Later forms the ureter, delivers urine from kidneys
