Reproductive System Flashcards

Front 1

Name three structures that supply fluid forsperm.

Back 1

seminal vesicle, prostate gland, bulbo-urethral gland

Front 2

testis

Back 2

produces sperm

Front 3

seminiferous tubule

Back 3

inside the testes, laydig cells between tubules,

Front 4

sertoli

Back 4

inside semineferous tubule

Front 5

oviduct=

Back 5

fellopian tube

Front 6

budding

Back 6

asexual reproduction in hydra

Front 7

fragmentation

Back 7

asexual reproduction in planaria, sponge

Front 8

parthenogenesis

Back 8

asexual reproduction in which fertilized eggs turn to female, unfertilized eggs turn to males

Front 9

What does sexual reproduction require?

Back 9

the production and fusion of gametes

Front 10

embryo

Back 10

a living organism which needs to secure food, rid itself of waste, and exchange gases (breathe)

Front 11

embryology

Back 11

the study of the development of an embryo to adult form

Front 12

metamorphosis

Back 12

For frogs and insects, once the egg survives predation and begins to develop, it goes through many physical forms and changes.

Front 13

cleavage

Back 13

mitotic divisions in development

Front 14

complete metamorphosis

Back 14

1. egg
2. larval
3. pupil (cell specialization)
4. adult

Front 15

incomplete metamorphosis

Back 15

1. egg
2. nymph (smaller version of adult)
3. adult

Front 16

morphogenesis

Back 16

what embryos undergo (changes)

Front 17

shells

Back 17

give embryos within the shell a better chance of survival than embro which must develop without the protection

Front 18

Chorion

Back 18

controls permeability to egg, is permeable to gas but not to water

Front 19

yolk sac

Back 19

~contains yolk=embryo's food
~contains blood vessels for transport

Front 20

allantois

Back 20

~sac which fills with waste products
~contains blood vessels for transport of waste from embryo to chorion

Front 21

amnion

Back 21

~membrane enclosing amniotic fluid which protects against dehydration and jols

Front 22

blastocoel

Back 22

body cavity

Front 23

rotational cleavage

Back 23

results in a morula, then a blastocyst

Front 24

grastrulation

Back 24

leads to a three-layered embryo inside wall of uterus

Front 25

What system is internal development controled by?

Back 25

endocrine

Front 26

What is secreted when [estrogen] gets high enough?

Back 26

LH (luteineizing hormone)

Front 27

FSH

Back 27

follical stimulating hormone

secreted by pituaitary gland on day 6-14, follicular phase

stimulates grrowth of primary oocytes to complete Meiosis I

Front 28

Luteal phase

Back 28

Day 15-28

LH is secreted to the ovaries

Front 29

ovulation

Back 29

secodary oocyte and polar bodies are released (3 days)

Front 30

Corpus Luteum

Back 30

left over follicle cells from ovulation recombine in the ovary to make this, secretes progesterone

Front 31

progesterone

Back 31

secreted from the corpus luteum to the uterus to help uterus maintain extra layers for about 12 days
