These accessory glands produce the ingredients that make up SEMEN

Answer 11

Seminal vesicles

Question 12

These accessory glands produce the fluid that nourishes sperm

Answer 12

Prostate

Question 13

These accessory glands produce lubrication of semen

Answer 13

Bulbourethral glands

Question 14

This structure regulates the temperature of the testes

Answer 14

Scrotum

Question 15

This is the male organ for sexual intercourse that delivers sperm into the vagina

Answer 15

Penis

Question 16

This process is known as the surgical removal of the foreskin (can be done for religious reasons)

Answer 16

Circumcision

Question 17

This part of the brain in males controls the testes

Answer 17

Hypothalamus

Question 18

This hormone makes the anterior pituitary to produce hormones

Answer 18

GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone)

Question 19

This hormone is essential for puberty development in men

Answer 19

Testosterone

Question 20

What hormones are released due to GnRH?

Answer 20

Testosterone, LH (luteinizing hormone), and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone)

Question 21

This hormone promotes the production of testosterone by interstitial cells

Answer 21

FSH

Question 22

These are known as the female gonads which can produce oocytes, sex hormones, and control the uterine cycle

Answer 22

Ovaries

Question 23

Ovaries produce OOcytes through:

Answer 23

OOgenesis

Question 24

Ovaries produce these hormones:

Answer 24

Estrogen and progesterone

Question 25

This process is in which an egg is released to the oviduct

Answer 25

Ovulation

Question 26

This part goes from the ovaries to the uterus and has fingerlike projections at its ends

Answer 26

Oviduct or fallopian tubes

Question 27

How are the oviduct's fingerlike projections called:

Answer 27

Fimbriae

Question 28

This process takes place in the oviduct, it involves forming a zygote which is then taken from the oviduct to the uterus where it becomes an embryo

Answer 28

Fertilization

Question 29

This muscle organ is the shape of a pear and is lined with endometrium (a part of the placenta)

Answer 29

Uterus

Question 30

Implantation of the embryo takes place here

Answer 30

Endometrium

Question 31

If the implantation of the embryo doesn't happen here, the pregnancy is called:

Answer 31

Ectopic

Question 32

This muscular tube takes part in sexual intercourse, it serves as a birth canal and a canal for menstrual flow too

Answer 32

Vagina

Question 33

The vulva has two types of labia:

Answer 33

- Labia majora (outside of all) - Labia menora (inside majora) - forms foreskin

Question 34

The vulva has an erectile tissue that fills with blood during sexual intercourse

Answer 34

Clitoris

Question 35

This part is situated between the labia menora, it is an opening for the urethra and the vagina

Answer 35

Cleft

Question 36

Ovarian and uterine cycles are controlled by:

Answer 36

The hypothalamus, anterior pituitary gland, and the ovaries

Question 37

The OVARIAN cycle occurs during and after:

Answer 37

the maturation of an oocyte (ovocito -> ovulo maduro)

Question 38

The UTERINE cycle occurs when:

Answer 38

there is a change in endometrium when its prepared for a fertilized egg

Question 39

There are three phases in the OVARIAN cycle:

Answer 39

- Follicular phase (Foliculos -> forman ovulo para fecundar) - Ovulation - Luteal phase

Question 40

In this phase, the anterior pituitary secretes FSH, which develops FOLLICLE tissue in the ovary = oogenesis (rises estrogen)

Answer 40

Follicular phase

Question 41

In this phase GnRH makes the anterior pituitary secrete LH on days 14 to 28 of the cycle, causing the RELEASE OF A SECONDARY OOCYTE (an egg to the oviduct)

Answer 41

Ovulation

Question 42

In this phase, LH produces "corpus LUTEUM" and it secretes progesterone

Answer 42

Luteal phase

Question 43

The UTERINE cycle has three phases:

Answer 43

- Menstruation - Proliferate phase - Secretory phase

Question 44

This phase has a duration of 5-7 days. It is known as the breakdown of the endometrium in the form of blood through the vagina due to low sex hormones levels

Answer 44

Menstruation

Question 45

This phase lasts 6- 13 days, when the endometrium builds up again, becoming glandular and vascular. It produces estrogen and develops a new follicle

Answer 45

Proliferative phase

Question 46

This phase lasts from day 15-28, in which the endometrium gets thicker and the uterine glands produce more mucus, it gets ready for an embryo, caused by progesterone and corpus luteum

Answer 46

Secretory phase

Question 47

This tissue keeps the embryo, it is the area of nutrient and gas exchange between maternal and fetal blood

Answer 47

Placenta

Question 48

This test detects the presence of hCG (hormona del embarazo)

Answer 48

Pregnancy test

Question 49

These two hormones shut down the anterior pituitary through pregnancy so that no more follicles develop (ovulos)

Answer 49

Progesterone and estrogen
