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

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.
