Term
Asexual Reproduction
Definition
No sex. No Gametes. Protists, Monera, Plants, Fungi, Some Animals.
Term
Types of Asexual Reproduction
Definition
Fission/Budding/Fragmentation
Term
Fission
Definition
Splitting of one parent into two or more of approximately equal size.
Term
Budding
Definition
New individual splitting off of another.
Term
Fragmentation
Definition
Breaking off of body into several pieces, some or all develop into adults.(Must be accompanied by regeneration).Sponges/cnidarians/annelids/tunicates.
Term
Sexual Reproduction
Definition
Creation of offspring by fusion of haploid gametes to form a zygote. By meiosis.
Term
Male's role in sexual reproduction
Definition
Testes-> Meiosis (haploid)-> Sperm-> Fertilization with Ova -> Zygote
Term
Female's Role in sexual reproduction
Definition
Ovaries-> Meiosis (haploid)-> Ova-> Fertilization with Sperm-> Zygote (Diploid)
Term
Gonads
Definition
Organ that produces gametes in most organisms
Term
Diecious
Definition
cross fertilization (one reproductive organ)
Term
Monecious
Definition
Both sex organs in the same individual
Term
Parthogenisis
Definition
development of individual from unfertilized ova.
Term
Sperm formation
Definition
Spermatogonium->Primary Spermatocyte->Secondary Spermatocyte->Early Spermatids->Sperm Cells (stored in epididymus
Term
Vas Defrens
Definition
connects testes to abdomen
Term
Prostoglandin
Definition
causes contraction in uterine wall.
Term
Lutenizing Hormone
Definition
stimulates interstitial cells to produce and release testosterone, which inhibits the productino of FSH and LH.
Term
Oogenisis
Definition
Development of Ova
Term
Labia Majora and Labia Minora are homologous to:
Definition
male scrotum
Term
Clitoris is homologous to:
Definition
male penis
Term
Female's role in fertilization
Definition
Oogonium(46)->Primary Oocyte(46)->2nd Oocyte(23) and polar body(fades away)->ova(23)
Term
Production of sperm from hypothalamus
Definition
FSH is produced from anterior pituitary, stimulating the seminiferous tubules, secreting sperm
Term
Productino of estrogen from hypothalamus
Definition
FSH from anterior pituitary stimulates the ovarian follicle to produce estrogen
Term
Estrogen
Definition
female sex hormone; promotes uterine lining growth and 2ndary sex characteristics.
Term
Methods of Contraception (birth control)
Definition
Abstinence, condoms, diaphragms, Intrauterine Device, Morning after Pill, The Pill, tubal ligation, hysterectomy, vasectomy
Term
Abstinence
Definition
Not having sez. best way
Term
Condom
Definition
slip covering penis. effective against STDs but not 100% foolproof.
Term
Diaphragm
Definition
fits over the cervex.
Term
Morning after Pill
Definition
kills fertilized ova (75%effective)
Term
Intrauterine Device
Definition
small plastic/metal devices that fit into the uterine cavity, preventing implantation of blastocyst in the uterus.Harmful to many women.
Term
The Pill
Definition
similar to estrogen, progesterone. almost 100% effective.
Term
Tubal Ligation
Definition
cutting of philopian tubes preventing eggs from trabeling to the uterus.
Term
Hysterectomy
Definition
removal of uterus(incomplete), removal of uterus and ovaries (complete)
Term
Vasectomy
Definition
cutting off of vas deferens to prevent sperm from entering urethra.
Term
Abortion
Definition
killing of pregnancy in progress
