A

produce females gametes and reproductive hormones

42

43
Q

A

44
Q

A

tube from ovary to uterus

45

the womb LMAO WHAT KINDA DEF

46

53
Q

what are mammary glands?

A

small sacs of epithelial tissue that secrete milk

54
Q

what is gametogenesis?

A

production of gametes

55
Q

what is spermatogenesis?

A

formation and development of sperm, continuous and millions form a day

56
Q

what is oogenesis?

A

development of mature eggs. immature eggs form in the ovary but do not complete develop in years or decades

57
Q

what are the differences between spermatogenesis and oogenesis?

A
  1. sperm is continually produced while there are long pauses in oogenesis
  2. sperma. is through adolescnce and adulthood while oogen. is completed before birth and stop at age 50
  3. sperma. use all 4 products of meiosis become sperm while in oogen. cytoplasm goes into one egg who becomes the “the one” and gets released
58
Q

what is the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone?

A

directs the release of FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary

59
Q

what are FSH and LH?

A

regulate gametogensis and production of sex hormones

60
Q

what are trophic hormones?

A

regulaates endocrine cells

61
Q

what are gonadotrophs?

A

male and female gonads, stimulate sex hormone production

62
Q

what are sertoli cells?

A

nourish developing sperm located in seminiferous tubules

63
Q

what are leydig cells?

A

produce testosterone in connective tissue, promote spermatogenesis

64
Q

what does testosterone regulate?

A

gonadotrophin-relasing hormone, FSH and LH

65
Q

what does seratoli cells regulate?

A

secrete inhibin to reduce FSH secretion

66
Q

when does ovulation occur?

A

after endometrium has started to thicken and develop a rich blood supply, preparing the uterus for an implantation of an embryo

67
Q

what is menstruation?

A

endometrium is shed

68
Q

give me the steps of the ovarian cycle lmao

A
  1. GnRH is secreted and stimulates anterior pituitary
  2. FSH and LH are secreted
  3. FSH stimulates follicle growth
  4. cells of the growing follicle make estradiol
  5. estradiol secretion rises steeply
  6. FSH and LH increase
  7. maturing follicle forms a bulge at the end of the ovary
  8. LH stimulates the leftover follicular tissue to make a corpus luteum
69
Q

give me the steps of the menstrual cycle lol

A
  1. estrdiol and progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum stimulate development of uterine lining
  2. ovarian hormone levels drop and endometrium sheds
70
Q

what is endometeriosis?

A

some cells of the uterine linging migrate to an abnormal (ectopic) location

71
Q

what is menopause?

A

the end of ovulation and menstruation, ovaries lose responsiveness to FSH and LH->decline in estradiol production

72
Q

why is menopause unusal?

A

most animals reproduce for life

73
Q

what is the grandma hypothesis?

A

ovulation and menstruation stops so you can help your kids with their kids

74
Q

who are the only mammals with menstrual cycles?

A

humans and some primates

75
Q

what is the estrous cycle?

A

uterus reabsorbs the endometrium and no fluid comes out. sexual activity is limited.

76
Q

give me the steps of the formation of a human zygote hehe

A
  1. ovulation releases an oocyte
  2. fertilization occurs in oviduct
  3. cleavage of zygote
  4. cells reach uterus and becomes a blastocyst (hollow ball of cells)
  5. blastocyst implants itself into the endometrium
77
Q

why is the first trimester have the most radical change in the baby and mom?

A

more hormones are being secreted

78
Q

what does human chorionic gonadotropin do?

A

secretes estrogen and progesterones, detected in pregnancy tests

79
Q

do all embryos develop?

A

no some have abnormalities

80
Q

what is an ectopic pregnancy?

A

fertilized egg attaches to fallopian tube

81
Q

where does the developing embryo get nutrients?

A

for the first 3 weeks-> endometrium

after-> umbilical cord

82
Q

what is the trophoblast?

A

outer layer of blastocyst, interacts with endometrium

83
Q

what is the placenta?

A

house of fetus, gas exchange, fights infection, food

84
Q

what is the difference between identical and fraternal twins?

A

identical twins come from 1 egg and sperm and the embryo splits within the first month
fraternal twins come from 2 eggs and sperm and are in separate placentas

85
Q

what is organogenesis?

A

development of organs in the 1st trimester

86
Q

when does the baby heart start beating?

A

4 weeks and detected at 10 weeks

87
Q

when is it called a fetus?

A

at 8 weeks when all major structures of the adult are present in rudimentary form

88
Q

how big is the embryo at the end of the 1st trimester?

A

5 cm long

89
Q

what happens to the mother during the 1st trimester?

A

high levels of progesterone, mucus plugs cervix to prevent infection, placenta breast and uterus grow, ovulation and menstrual stop. morning sickness.

90
Q

what happens during the 2nd trimester?

A

mother feels fetal movement, hCG secretion declines, corpus luteum deteriorates, placenta takes over the production of progesterone

91
Q

what happens during the 3rd trimester?

A

fetus grows and fills the space within the embryonic membrane. mom’s organs get squished

92
Q

what is labor?

A

contractions that push baby and placenta out, regulated by oxytocin and estradiol (positive feedback)

93
Q

what are the 3 stages of labor?

A
  1. dilation of cervix
  2. fetus exiting
  3. placenta exiting
94
Q

what is lactation?

A

production of milk
prolactin-glands to produce milk
oxytocin- produce milk

95
Q

what is the role of the immune system during pregnancy?

A

it relaxes. if it were active, it would try to get rid of the baby

96
Q

what is contraception?

A

deliberate method to prevent pregnancy

97
Q

what are the 3 categories of contraceptives?

A
  1. preventing the release of egg and sperm (birth control, vasectomy)
  2. keeping egg and sperm apart (abstinence, condoms, spermicides)
  3. preventing implantation of embryo (plan b)
98
Q

what is abortion?

A

ending of a pregnancy after implantation

99
Q

what is a miscarriage?

A

spontaneous abortion

100
Q

what is the surgical method of abortion?

A

remove fetus out of uterus

101
Q

what is the medicinal method of abortion?

A

blocks progesterone receptor in uterus
