Q

secondary sex characteristics

A

Deepening of voice
- Increasedhairgrowth
- Enlargement of skeletal muscles
- Thickening of bones

23
Q

3 hormones that influence testosterone production:

A

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone

Follicle-stimulatinghormone Luteinizinghormone

24
Q

promotes production of sperm

A

Follicle-stimulatinghormone

25
stimulates production and secretion of testosterone
Luteinizinghormone
26
Luteinizinghormone
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (
27
Female gonads; Produce egg & estrogen
Ovaries
28
sac-like structure which contains the developing egg
Follicle
29
Oviduct/uterine tube
Fallopian tubes
30
Where the egg and sperm meet
Fallopian tubes
31
Attaching of egg to endometrium
Uterus
32
lining of uterus
Endometrium(Uterus)
33
Organ for copulation
Vagina
34
egg production oogenesis)
Ovary
35
Site of fertilization
Fallopian tube
36
Implantation
Uterus
37
serves as the birth canal; receives the penis during sexual intercourse
Vagina
38
Estrogen produced by:
Produced by follicle cells
39
Caused secondary sex characteristics
Estrogen
40
secondary sex characteristics
- Enlargement of accessory organs - Development of breasts - Appearance of pubic hair - Increase in fat beneath the skin - Widening and lightening of the pelvis - Onset of menses
41
Progesterone produced by
• Produced by the corpus luteum
42
Progesterone Production continues until
Production continues until LH diminishes in the blood
43
Thickens the uterine lining (endometrium) for implantation of fertilized egg
Progesterone
44
Helps maintain pregnancy
Progestero
45
Anterior pituitary gland releases follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) that ripens several follicles.
Follicular phase (days 1-13)
46
Release of mature egg cell from the ripe follicle - Triggered by the rise in luteinizing hormone (LH)
Ovulation (day 14), LH spike
47
Formation of corpus luteum which secretes progesterone
Luteal phase (days 15-28)
48
Endometrium is shed off in the process called ?) - This occurs when there is no fertilization of the egg cell
Menstrual phase (days 1-5)
49
Lining of uterus (endometrium) starts to thicken - Uterine glands multiply
Proliferative phase (days 6-13)
50
Thickening of the endometrium - If egg is fertilized, this will be maintained by the developing embryo by secreting human Endometrium thickens and glands are secretory chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG)
Secretory phase day 15-18
51
happens when a woman’s ovaries or adrenal glands produce more male hormones than normal • May cause to skip menstrual periods and makes pregnancy difficult
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
52
associated with chronic pain in the pelvis when the kind of tissue that normally lines the uterus grows somewhere else • This “misplaced” tissue can cause pain, infertility, and very heavy periods. The pain is usually in the abdomen, lower back, or pelvic areas.
Endometriosis
53
Trouble urinating – Decreased force in the stream of urine – Blood in the urine – Blood in the semen – Bone pain – Losing weight without trying – Erectile dysfunction
Prostate cancer
54
sexual dysfunction characterized by the regular and repeated inability to obtain or maintain an erection. Anything that hampers normal blood flow to the penis may, therefore, interfere with its potential to fill with blood and become erect . Specific causes of ED include both physiological (i.e. aging, tobacco smoking, diseases) and psychological causes (i.e. stress, anxiety or mental disorders).
Erectile Dysfunction
