Male gonads |
testes |
|
Female gonads |
Ovaries |
|
Define female gonads (ovaries) |
site of oocyte and sex steriods production. |
|
site of oocyte and sex steriods production. |
Ovaries |
|
Most common site in fertilization. |
Fallopian tubes |
|
Have fimbriae that wrap around the ovaries and "catch" the oocyte after ovulation. |
Fallopian tubes |
|
Define fallopian tubes |
have fimbriae that wrap around the ovaries and catch the oocyte after ovulation. |
|
What are the female accessory organs? |
Ovaries Fallopian tubes Uterus Vagina |
|
What ate the male accessory organs? |
Seminal vesicle Prostate gland Bulbourethral gland/Cowper's gland |
|
What are the layers of the female uterus? |
Endometrium:inner layer,embryo implants and develops Myometrium;middle muscle layer contracts to expel baby at birth Perimetrium: outer connective tissue layer Cervix; narrow bottom region of uterus. |
|
What is endometrium? |
the inner layer of the female uterus, where embryo implants and develops |
|
Myometrium in the female uterus |
middle muscle layer contracts to expel baby at birth |
|
Perimetrium in the uterus |
outer connective tissue layer |
|
Cervix in the female uterus |
narrow bottom region of uterus |
|
Are small, almond shaped organs; near lateral walls of pelvic cavity 5 cm long, 2.5 cm wide ,8 mm thick and weigh 6-8 gm |
The ovaries |
|
Define ovaries and list the characteristics. |
Are small, almond shaped organs;near lateral walls of pelvic cavity5 cm long, 2.5 cm wide ,8 mm thick and weigh 6-8 gm |
|
What are the functions of the ovaries? |
1.Production of female gametes (oocytes) 2.Secretion of female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone ( 3.Secretion of inhibin feedback control of pituitary FSH. |
|
The male gametes are? |
sperm |
|
The female gametes are? |
oocytes |
|
Also called ovum production. |
Oogenesis |
|
1.Toward the end of gestation, a female oogonia begin meiosis to produce primary oocytes. 2.1-2 million in newborn female. Process of Oogenesis |
Begins before birth |
|
400 000 at puberty in oogenesis (female) |
Accelerates at puberty |
|
Woman will ovalute about 400 during lifetime (lose about 1,000/mo) in oogenesis. |
Ends at menopause |
|
contained within primary follicles. |
Primary oocytes |
|
_____ are contained withing primary follicles. |
Primary oocytes |
|
In response to FSH, some of the primary follicles grow to produce many layers of granulosa cells. True or false? |
True |
|
Some develop fluid-filled vesicles called _______________. |
Secondary follicles |
|
Continued growth results in fused vesicles to form ________. |
single antrum |
|
Continued growth results in fused vesicles to form a single antrum. This is a mature _______? |
Graafian follicle |
|
In the ovarian cycle;follicles cell layers are called the __________ and __________ firm around the oocyte. |
Corona radiata and Zona pellucida. (these serve as a barrier for sperm entry.) |
|
As the graafian follicle grows, the primary oocyte meiosis I to become a secondary oocyte (plus a polar body, which soon degenerates) True or false? |
True |
|
The secondary oocyte finishes meiosis if the cell is fertilized by _______? |
sperm |
|
The secondary oocyte finishes meiosis if the cell is fertilized by a sperm. This produces an ovum and a second polar body which degenerates. True or False? |
True |
|
Aside from stimulating the development of the follicles, FSH stimulates estrogen in the follicles true or false? |
True |
|
The bigger the follicle the ___________? |
the more it estrogen releases |
|
Functions of secrete thick , alkakine mucus of the Bulbourethral Gland. |
1.Helps neutralize urinary acids in urethra. 2.Lubricates the glands 3.Makes sperm "sticky" 4.Helps decrease number of sperm damaged during ejaculation |
|
1.The surviving Graafian follicle becomes so big it bulges out of the ovary. 2.Hormones stimulate the follicle to burst and release hormone the secondary oocyte. 3. If not fertilized, the oocyte will degenerate after 24-48 hours. Which ovarian cycle does this process occur? |
Ovulation |
|
1.Aside from stimulating the development of the follicles , FSH stimulates estrogen production in the follicles. 2.The bigger the follicle, the more estrogen it releases. Which ovarian cycle does this process occur? |
Estrogen |
|
1 The secondary oocyte finishes meiosis of the cell is fertilized by a sperm. 2.This produces an ovum and a second polar body, which degenerates. Which ovarian cycle does this process occur? |
Oogenesis |
|
As the Graafian follicle grows, the primary oocyte finishes meiosis I yo become a secondary oocyte (plus a polar body, which soon degenerates) Which ovarian cycle does this process occur? |
Oocytes |
|
1.Continued growth results in fused vesicles to form a single antrum. 2.this is a mature Graafian follicle. 3. Cell layers called the Corona radiata and Zona pellucida form around the oocyte. This serve as a barrier for sperm entry. Which ovarian cycle does this process occur? |
Follicles |
|
1.Primary oocytes are contained within primary follicles. 2.In response to FSH, some of the primary follicles grow to produce many layers of granulosa cells. 3.Some develop fluid filled vesicles called secondary follicles. Which ovarian cycle does this process occur? |
Follicles |
|
1.After ovulation, the remaining follicle becomes a corpus luteum. 2.This secretes both estrogen and progesterone.If fertilization occurs then placenta will eventually take over this production 3.These hormones play a role in the menstrual cycle. Which ovarian cycle does this process occur? |
Corpus luteum |
|
What is a menstrual cycle? |
Describes the 28 day cycle of endometrial buildup and sloughing in response to ovarian hormones. |
