Organ System: Female Reproductive System: Oogenesis: 1. Cells that cannot undergo fertilization 2. Usually die and disintegrate by apoptosis.
Polar Bodies
28
Organ System: Female Reproductive System: 1. When uterus lining sheds and leads to a hemorrhage
Menstruation
29
Organ System: Female Reproductive System: Menstruation: 1. Explain the Phases of Menstruation
1. Menstrual Phase - uterus lining starts to shed if there is no pregnancy 2. Follicular Phase - maturation of ovarian follicles to prepare for release. 3. Ovulatory Phase - egg is released and moves to the fallopian tube for fertilization. 4. Luteal Phase - prepares the uterus for pregnancy by thickening the endometrium.
30
Organ System: 1. System responsible for transporting nutrients and gases to all parts of the body.
Circulatory System
31
Organ System: Circulatory System: 1. Fluid connective tissue that circulates nutrients to different parts of the body.
Blood
32
Organ System: Circulatory System: Blood Composition
55% Plasma 45% Blood Cells
33
Organ System: Circulatory System: Blood Composition: 1. Liquid state of blood and is pale yellow in color that carries nutrients and wastes and also helps maintain blood pressure and homeostasis.
Plasma
34
Organ System: Circulatory System: Blood Composition: 1. Red Blood Cells 2. Transports oxygen from the lungs to body cells and deliver carbon dioxide from body cells to the lungs. 3. Contains the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin
Erythrocytes
35
Organ System: Circulatory System: Blood Composition: 1. White blood cells 2. Protects the body from invading pathogens and other foreign substances.
Leukocytes
36
Organ System: Circulatory System: Blood Composition: 1. Platelets 2. Cells that promote blood clotting when blood vessels are damaged.
Thrombocytes
37
Organ System: Circulatory System: 1. Network of pathways through which blood travels
Blood Vessels
38
Organ System: Circulatory System: Three Types of Blood Vessels
1. Arteries 2. Veins 3. Capillaries
39
Organ System: Circulatory System: Blood Vessels: 1. Transports oxygenated blood from the heart to the various parts of the body.
Arteries
40
Organ System: Circulatory System: Blood Vessels: 1. Transports deoxygenated blood towards the heart from the various parts of the body.
Veins
41
Organ System: Circulatory System: Blood Vessels: 1. Smallest and most numerous 2. Forms the connection between arteries and veins 3. Where exchange of oxygen and nutrients for carbon dioxide and waste occurs.
Capillaries
42
Organ System: Circulatory System: 1. About the size of a clenched fist 2. Muscular organ that pumps blood through the body.
Heart
43
Organ System: Circulatory System: Heart: 1. Chambers of the heart that receives blood.
Atrium
44
Organ System: Reproductive System: Process of Fertilization
1. Sperm moves from the TESTIS to the EPIDIDYMIS to the VAS DEFERENS to the EJACULATORY DUCT into the URETHRA. 2. The sperm enters the VAGINA where some sperms die due to the acidic environment, while others survive. 3. The sperm must enter the CERVIX and continues to the UTERUS. 4. The sperms then swim towards the FALLOPIAN TUBE, where others swims to the empty one, while the others swim towards the one with an egg. 5. The egg then is pushed where they will meet with the sperm at the FALLOPIAN TUBE. 6. The sperm then must pushed through the OUTER LAYER of the egg to enter the INNER LAYER. 7. The first sperm to make contact with the INNER LAYER becomes fertilized then preventing other sperms to enter the egg. 8. The genetic material inside the sperm spreads out and new membrane forms around it; now called the MALE PRONUCLEUS. 9. The female genetic material divides to become the FEMALE PRONUCLEUS. 10. MICROTUBULES pulls the MALE PRONUCLEUS and FEMALE PRONUCLEUS together, fusing their genetic material together. 11. The fertilized egg is gently sweeped from the FALLOPIAN TUBE to be implanted on the UTERUS.
45
Organ System: Circulatory System: Blood Formation
Blood cells are made in the BONE MARROW – the soft, spongy material inside the center of the bones. They start as STEM CELLS – cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. Eventually, when the stem cells mature, several distinct cells can be formed, such as blood cells.
46
Organ System: Circulatory System: Heart: 1. Chambers of the heart that pumps blood
Ventricles
47
Organ System: Circulatory System: Heart: 1. Biggest artery in the body that carries blood away from the heart
Aorta
48
Organ System: Circulatory System: Heart: 1. Large veins that brings deoxygenated blood to the heart
Vena Cava
49
Organ System: Circulatory System: Heart: 1. A wall dividing the chambers of the heart.
Septum
50
Organ System: Circulatory System: Heart: 1. Flaps of tissues that ensures that blood flows in a single direction.
Valve
51
Organ System: Circulatory System: Heart: Layers of the Heart Wall
1. Endocardium 2. Myocardium 3. Epicardium
52
Organ System: Circulatory System: Heart: Layers of the Heart Wall: 1. Innermost layer that prevents blood from sticking, thereby avoiding the formation of fatal blood clots.
Endocardium
53
Organ System: Circulatory System: Heart: Layers of the Heart Wall: 1. Middle layer of muscle tissue responsible for the heart's pumping action
Myocardium
54
Organ System: Circulatory System: Heart: Layers of the Heart Wall: 1. Outermost layer that protects and lubricates the outer section
Epicardium
55
Organ System: Circulatory System: Types of Circulation
1. Pulmonary 2. Systematic 3. Coronary
56
Organ System: Circulatory System: Types of Circulation: 1. Responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood away from the heart and then bringing back oxygenated blood back to the heart.
Pulmonary Circulation
57
Organ System: Circulatory System: Types of Circulation: 1. Where oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart throughout the body and deoxygenated blood comes back again to the heart.
Systematic Circulation
58
Organ System: Circulatory System: Types of Circulation 1. Where oxygenated blood is supplied to to the heart muscles.
Coronary Circulation
59
Organ System: Circulatory System: Blood Flow in the Heart
1. The SUPERIOR VENA CAVA and INFERIOR VENA CAVA receives deoxygenated blood from the upper and lower extremities. 2. The deoxygenated blood then is received by the RIGHT ATRIUM. 3. The deoxygenated blood then enters the TRICUSPID VALVE then to the RIGHT VENTRICLE. 4. The ventricle then pumps the deoxygenated blood to the PULMONARY ARTERY through the PULMONARY VALVE. 5. The deoxygenated blood then goes to the LUNGS, where gas exchange will occur. 6. The deoxygenated blood then becomes oxygenated. 7. The oxygenated blood goes back to the heart through the PULMONARY VEINS. 8. It will then be received by the LEFT ATRIUM. 9. The oxygenated blood then goes to the LEFT VENTRICLE through the BICUSPID VALVE. 10. The oxygenated blood is pumped through the AORTIC VALVE which goes to the AORTA. The oxygenated blood is then supplied throughout the body.
