A

Interstitial part

23
Q
  • Which is the narrow part of the tube adjacent to the uterus.
  • Straight and cord-like, about 2-3 cm in length.
24
Q

● Which is the wider part about 5cm in length.

● Fertilization occurs in the ampulla

25
● It is funnel or trumpet shaped. ● Fimbriae are fingerlike processes, one of which is longer than the other and adherent to the ovary. ● The fimbriae become swollen almost erectile at ovulation.
Infundibulum
26
begins at the moment of conception and continues through life.
Reproductive Development
27
Sex assigned at birth is generally determined at the moment of conception by chromosome information, which is supplied by the sperm that joins with the ovum to create the new life.
Intrauterine Development
28
Puberty is the stage of life at which secondary sex changes begin.
Pubertal Development
29
● Androgenic hormones are the hormones responsible for muscular development, physical growth, and the increase in sebaceous gland secretions that cause typical acne in both boys and girls during adolescence.
THE ROLEOFANDROGEN
30
● When triggered at puberty by FSH, ovarian follicles in females begin to excrete a high level of the hormone estrogen.
tHE ROLE OF ESTROGEN
31
In girls, pubertal changes typically
occur as: Growth spurt------ Increase in the transverse diameter of the pelvis Breast development Growth of pubic hair Onset of menstruation Growth of axillary hair Vaginal secretions
32
Secondary sex characteristics of boys usually
occur in the order of: Increase in weight------ Growth of testes Growth of face, axillary, and pubic hair Voice changes Penile growth Increase in height Spermatogenesis (production of sperm)
33
The average age at which menarche (the first menstrual period) occurs is
12.4 age
34
The seminiferous tubule of each testis leads to a tightly coiled tube, the epididymis, which is responsible for conducting sperm from the tubule to the vas deferens,
EPIDIDYMIS
35
is an additional hollow tube surrounded by arteries and veins and protected by a thick fibrous coating
VAS DEFERENS
36
The seminal vesicles are two convoluted pouches that lie along the lower portion of the bladder and empty into the urethra by ejaculatory ducts.
SEMINAL VESICLES
37
the ridge of tissue formed by the posterior joining of the labia minora and the labia majora.
FOURCHETTE
38
it stretches during childbirth to allow enlargement of the vagina and passage of the fetal head
PERINEAL MUSCLE
39
a tough but elastic semi-circle of tissue that covers the opening to the vagina during childhood
HYMEN
40
The mammary glands or breasts, form early in intrauterine life.
BREASTS
41

Proliferative

The third phase of menstrual cycle
Ischemic
44
The fourth phase of menstrual cycle
Menses
45
The mucus of the uterine cervical so changes in structure and consistency each month during menstrual cycle.
CERVICALCHANGES
46
An interesting property of cervical mucus just before ovulation when estrogen levels are high is the ability to form fern-like patterns on a microscope slide when allowed to dry.
THE FERNTEST
47
is a multidimensional phenomenon that includes feelings, attitudes, and actions.
Sexuality
48
occurs with physical and psychological stimulation emotion, or thought) (sight, that parasympathetic nerve stimulation.
Excitement
49
The plateau stage is reached just before orgasm.
PLATEAU
50
occurs when stimulation proceed through the plateau stage to a point at which a vigorous contraction of muscles in the pelvic area expels or dissipates blood and fluid from the area of congestion.
ORGASM
51
is self-stimulation for erotic pleasure; it can also be a mutually enjoyable activity for sexual partners.
Masturbation
52
The resolution is a 30-minute period during which the external and internal genital organs return to an unaroused state.
