Testosterone LH FSH GnRH |
|
Testosterone |
Produces by the testes |
|
Lh |
controls production of testosterone; produces by anterior pituitary gland. |
|
FSH |
Produced by anterior pituitary gland; promotes sperm production.
|
|

GnRH |
|
GnRH |
Controls production of LH and FSH by the anterior pituitary gland.
|

Hormone in males that have ultimate control is the... |
GnRH |
|
Menstration |
Periodic shedding of blood and tissue from the lining of the uterus |
|
Menstruation begins around |
10-14 yrs old |
|
Menopause begins |
30-40 yrs later |
|
"Model Cycle" |
28 day cycle; Day 1- first day of blood flow. Ovulation occurs exactly on day 14 |
|
Menstrual Cycle |
-A spike in Lh and FSH triggers ovulation. -Estrogen and Progesterone incresase then uterus lining gets thicker. - E and P levels go down, shedding of the lining. |
|
Hormones of Pregnancy |
Placenta- Structure jointly made by mother and embryo. HCG (Human Chorionic Gonodotropin) promotes the production of Progesterone; helps keep lining thick. |
|
Female Sex Hormones |
Estrogen Prolactin |
|
Estrogen |
Also responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics ( Breast development etc.) |
|
Prolactin |
Milk Production - Suppressed by estrogen and progesterone - During pregnancy you are not producing milk, once the baby is delivered 24-72 hrs milk comes
|
|
Colostrum |
First few days baby is feeding on this, higher in protein and lower in fat.
|
|
Sexually transmitted diseases |
Herpes - Virus Gonorrhea - Bacteria Syphillus- Bacteria Aids - Virus |
|
Fraternal twins |
More than one egg is fertilized |
|
Identical twins |
single egg fertilized, as it begins to divide, it separates into two separate masses.
|
|
Stages of development happens within |
first three weeks
|
|
Stages of development |
Cleavage Blastula stage gastrulation stage Neurulation stage organogenesis |
|
Cleavage |
Occurs within first 24 hrs after conception; Fertilized egg is beginning to divide. Called a morula. Just a cluster of cells right now. Dividing into smaller cells.
|
|
Blastula Stage |
Cells rearrange themselves to create a fluid filled space; Around day 6
|
|
Gastrulation Stage |
Cells rearrange again to create distinct layers; around 2 weeks |
|
Germ Layer |
Primitive layer of cells that will make something more elaborate.
|
|
Germ Layers are |
Ectoderm Endoderm Mesoderm |
|
Ectoderm |
Outermost; develops into skin and nervous system. |
|
Endoderm |
Lining of your gut, also pancreas and liver |
|
Mesoderm |
Middle; Develops into muscle, bone, and connective tissue. |
|
Neurulation |
Neural tube and head begin to develop. 3rd week |
|
Organogenesis |
Organs begin to develop End of 3rd week Baby is very vulnerable
|
|
Differentiation |
-Refers to the process whereby similar looking cells of the developing embryo give rise to all the different cells in the body. -Does not result from - Shuffling out of genes -Does result from - the expression of different genes in different cells -Path is determined - Due to the gradient of chemicals in the cells established back during cleavage. |
|
Embryonic Induction |
Refers to the process in which one cell alters the fate of another -Explains the orderly, stepwise development of an embryo |
|
Parturation |
Birth |
|
Labor |
Process of uterine contractions that expell the baby and the placenta |
|
Fetal pituitary |
Thought to play a role in signaling the process to begin.
|
|
Stage one - Dialation stage |
only supposed to last 2-20 hrs. ( Cervix is getting bigger) needs to get to 10 cm average; expulsion of mucus plug.
|
|
Stage two - Expulsion stage |
Supposed to last 2-100 min; having contractions every 1-2 min that are about a minute a piece.
|
|
Episiotomy |
Incision made in vaginal tissue to prevent tearing. Pro- Easier to repair. Con - Could make deeper tear. |
|
Stage three- Placental stage |
5-45 minutes; After delivery. Placenta is being delivered |
|
Vernix Ceseasa |

|
Lanugo |
Fine peach like fuzz on the baby. |
|
Amnion |
Fluid filled sac that surrounds the baby.
|
|
Ecosystem |
Made up of biotic as well as abiotic components |
|
ultimate source of energy... |
Sun |
|
Producers |
Self nourishing (Autotrophs) such as plants |
|
Consumers |
Consume others (heterotrophs) |
|
Herbivores |
plant eaters |
|
carnivores |
meat eaters |
|
Omnivores |
Everything, all consuming |
|
Decomposers |
Feed on dead organic matter. *nutrients are recycled.
|
|
Energy flow |
One direction; energy does NOT recycle |
|
Food chains |
You have a series of organisms, each of which is consumed by the next. shows how energy is being passed from one trophic level to the next. |
|
Grazing food chain |
Starts with a plant that is currently alive |
|
Detritus food chain |
Starts with something already dead.
|
|
Food webs |
Gives you a much more realistic picture of whats going on in the ecosystem.
|
|
Trophic feeding levels |
1 3* con - tercheary 10 2* con - secondary 100 1* con - primary 1000 Producer - Less energy at each trophic level 10% gets passes to next level |
|
Why less energy at each trophic level |
-Some energy is used up in metabolic processes - Not all food available at one level is captured and consumed. - Not all of the organism is digestible. You can only get energy from what you digest |
|
Population |
Localized group of individuals belonging to the same species.
|
|
Species |
Group of individuals that have the potential to mate SUCCESSFULLY in NATURE.
|
|
Community |
Several populations interacting.
|
|
Plant defenses |
Mechanical defense - thorns Chemical defense - poisons, toxins, foul taste |
|
Animal defenses |
Cryptic coloration - camoflague deceptive markings - ex. false eye spot Aposmatic coloration - "warning coloration" Mimicry - one organism superficially resembles another Batesian - non dangerous looks like someone who is Mullerian - two dangerous resemble each other |
|
Symbiosis |
Living together |
|
Parasitic |
1 benefited 1 affected |
|
Commensalistic |
1 benefited, 1 unaffected |
|
mutualistic |
Both benefit |
|
Competition exclusion principle |
Two species competing for the same limited resource cannot coexsist in nature |
|
Resource partitioning |
Species divides up the resources amoung themselves. Ex. Werbler birds |
