sperm production is called
spermatogenisis
where are spermatogonia located
near the outer edge of each seminiferous tubule
The testes prepare for sperm production before puberty by increasing the numbers of sperm precursor (stem) cells called

which hormone stimulateds spermatogenesis
FSH
where are spermatogonia located
near the outer edge of each seminiferous tubule
head of sperm contain which parts
acrosome, and nucleus
midpiece of sperm contain what
mitochondria
parts of sperm
head, midpiece, tail
a caplike structure containing enzymes that enable the sperm to break down the covering of the ovum and permit entry if contact occurs
acrosome
head of sperm contain which parts
acrosome, and nucleus
midpiece of sperm contain what
mitochondria
hypospadias
the opening of the urethral meatus on the underside of the glans or penile shaft
disruption of the sperm-producing function of the seminiferous tubules can result in decreased sperm production, a condition called
oligospermia
the masculinizing and anabolic hormone
testosterone
sperm precursor cells former prepuberty

it promotes and maintains the development of the male accessory organs (prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and so on)
Testosterone
path sperm take to exit body
seminiferous tubules
epididymis
ductus (vas) deferens
ejaculatory duct
and the urethra
pouch like glands that contribute about 60% of the seminal fluid.
seminal vesicles
Their secretions are yellowis, thick, and rich in fructose
seminal vesicles
What causes ED
medical problems related to abnormal vascular or neural control of penile blood flow.
How do drugs like Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis work
They increase blood flow to the spongy cavernous tissue of the penis causing it to stiffen and become erect
women are born with approx. 1 million of these
ovarian follicles
ovarian follicles contain what
oocytes
immarture stage of femaile sex cell
ovarian follicles
further development of the ovarian follicle results in approx 400,000 of these
primary folllicles
These follicles have a layer of granulosa cells around the oocyte
primary follicles
The sac containing a mature ovum is called a
graafian follicle
The process of the mature follicle that releases an ovum for potential fertilization
ovulation
after ovulation the ruptured follicle is transformed into a hormone-secreting glandular structure called the
corpus luteum
How does oogenisis differ from spermatogenisis
as a result of meiosis in the female sex cell, the number of chromosomes is reduced equally in each daughter cell to half, however, the amount of cytoplasm is divided unequally, resulting in one large ovum and one small daughter cell called a polar body that degenerates
Where is FSH secreted
anterior pituitary gland
A high blood concentration of FSH stimulates what to occur
several immature ovarian follicles to start growing and secreting estrogens
As estrogen content of blood increases what does it stimulate
stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to secrete another hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH)
what does LH cause to happen
maturing of a follicle and its ovum, ovulation, and luteinization (formation of a yellow body, the corpus luteum, from the ruptured follicle)
where is LH secreted
anterior pituitary gland
which hormone is the "ovulating hormone"
LH
Can ovulation occur if blood concentration of FSH remaines low throughout the menstrul cycle
no, with a low level of FSH, no follicles start to grow, and therefore none become ripe enought to ovulate.
Sex hormone that causes development and maintenance of femaile secondary sex characteristics and stimulates growht of epithelial cells lining the uterus
Estrogen
Hormone produced by corpus luteum
Progesterone
stimulates proliferation and vascularization of the epithelial lining of the uterus and acts with estrogen to initiate the menstrual cycle in girls entering puberty
Progesterone
The outer end of each fallopian tube terminates in an expanded, funnel-shaped structure that has fringelike projections called
Finbriae
Days 1-5 of menstual cycle
Menses
what occurs during menses
small patches of dead cells of uterine lining slough off, leaving torn blood vessels; menstrual bleeding comes from these torn vessels
Days 6-13 of menstrual cycle
Proliferative phase
what occurs during proliferative phase
epithelial cells reproduce, repairing uterine lining
Day 14 of menstrual cycle
ovulation occurs
what occurs during ovulation
ovum is released from ovary and moves into uterine tube for possible fertilization
Days 15-28 of menstrual cycle
Secretory phase
what occurs during secretory phase
uterine lining prepares for pregnancy (implantation) by growing thicker, secreting, and developing greater blood supply; on last day, blood supply decreases greatly, causing some lining cells to die.
menstrual cramps are called
dysmenorrhea
what causes primary dysmenorrhea
overproduction of prostaglandins in the inner lining of the uterus causing spasms that decrease blood flow and oxygen delivery to uterine muscle resulting in pain.
refers to menstrual-related pain caused by some type of plevic pathology. Generally a gynecological problem
secondary dysmenorrhea
The absence of normal menstruation
Amenorrhea
occurs when a woman who has previously menstruated slows to three or fewer cycles per year.
secondary amenorrhea
The presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterus, usually found in or on pelvic and abdominal organs
Endometriosis
symptoms of endometriosis may include
unusual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, and pain during intercourse
two pair of exocrine glands lie imbedded in tissue to the left and right of the vaginal outlet and release mucus into the vestibule of the vulva
greater vestibular (bartholin) glands and the lesser vestibular glands
the three separate columns of erectile tissue in its shaft comprised of
one corpus spongiosum which surrounds the urethra, and two corpora cavernos which lie above the urethra
spongey erectile tissue that lies above the urethra
corpus cavernosum
glands that add to seminal fluid
two seminal vesicles, one prostate gland, and two bulbourethral (cowpar) glands
Pouch like glands that add 60% of seminal fluid volume. Secretion is yellow, thick, and rich in fructose to provide source of energy for sperm
Seminal vesicles
lies below the baldder and shaped like a doughnut. secretes a thin, milk-colored fluid that constitutes about 30% of seminal fluid that helps to activate the sperm and maintain their motility.
