____________ is the the production, growth, and maturation of an egg that begins at puberty when an oocyte is stimulated to continue meiosis. When the primary oocyte undergoes meiosis it gives rise to a large, haploid secondary oocyte and polar body that then undergoes a second, unequal cytoplasmic division to give rise to an egg cell and another polar body.
The _______ _______ are tubes lined with cilia that are suspended by the board ligament and lead to the uterus. The cilia helps to move the egg cell to the uterus after fertilization.
The _______ is the fibromuscular tube that extends from the uterus to the outside of the body. It is partially covered by the membrane called the hymen.
The upper two-third of the uterus are called the ______ which has a dome-shaped top. The lower one-third of the uterus is the ______ that extends into the vagina.
The uterine wall has 3 layers:__________ ___________: inner layer___________: muscular middle layer___________: outer layer
A process called _______ releases the secondary oocyte, which is surrounded by layers of follicular cells, from the surface of the ovary. If the oocyte is not fertilized shortly after its release, it will degenerate.
Near each ovary, the uterine tube expands to form an _________ with timbre on its margins.
The mature Graafian follicle contains the ________ ______ and is surrounded by the zona pellucida, attached to the corona radiata.
The male sex hormones are called _______ of which testosterone is the most abundant.
A ______ _______ system involving the hypothalamus regulates the quantity of testosterone. As the concentration of blood testosterone increases, the hypothalamus becomes inhibited and its stimulation of the anterior pituitary declines and as the amount of LH drops in response, the amount of testosterone is reduced.
At puberty in a female, which hormone initiates follicle maturation during which the follicle enlarges, follicular cells proliferate, and a fluid-filled cavity forms the secondary follicle?
t/f Only 400,000 oocytes remain in a female at puberty and only 400 to 500 will be released from the ovary during the reproductive life of the female.
Which hormone promotes the development of the testes and interstitial cells which in turn secrete male hormones (testosterone)?
What hormone stimulates the development of the male reproductive organs, causes the testes to descend, and is also responsible for male secondary sexual characteristics (deep voice, body hair, thickening of the skin, etc.)?
During the prenatal development, small groups of cells form millions of _____ _____ each of which consists of a primary oocyte surrounded by follicular cells. Early in development, the primary oocytes begin to undergo meiosis but the process halts and doesn't resume until puberty.
Which hormone in males stimulates the supporting cells of the seminiferous tubules? (Together with testosterone this hormone also helps stimulate spermatogenesis)
The primary sexual organs (gonads) of the female are the ______, and the other parts of the system comprise the external and internal accessory organs.
The _______ are solid, ovoid structures located within the lateral pelvic cavity that are subdivided into a medulla and an outer cortex.
During sexual arousal, _______ ________ trigger increased blow flow into the erectile tissues of the penis, producing an erection. After ejaculation, ______ _______ constrict the arteries and the penis returns to its flaccid state.
The culmination of sexual stimulation is _____, which in the male consists of emission (movement of sperm cells and accessory gland secretions into the urethra) and ejaculation (forcing semen to the outside).
