TERM 1 gonadotropin- releasing hormone (GnRH) DEFINITION 1 released by the hypothalamus that stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH) TERM 2 luteninizing hormone (LH) DEFINITION 2 stimulate the interstitial cells of the testes to produce testosterone TERM 3 penis DEFINITION 3 deposits sperm in the female reproductive tract TERM 4 testes DEFINITION 4 produce testosterone and spermlocated in the scrotum,1-6 degree F TERM 5 epidiymis and vas deferens DEFINITION 5 store sperm, conduct sperm from the testes to the urethra TERM 6 urethra(duct) DEFINITION 6 conducts semen from the vas deferend and urine from the urinary bladder to the top of the penis TERM 7 seminal vesicles(glands) DEFINITION 7 secrete fluid into the semen TERM 8 prostate gland DEFINITION 8 secrete fluids into the semen TERM 9 bulboruthral glands DEFINITION 9 secrete fluid into the semen TERM 10 sperm DEFINITION 10 produce in the testes TERM 21 oogenesis DEFINITION 21 formation of egg cells, begin in developing ovaries of a female embryo TERM 22 follicle DEFINITION 22 A follicle is a small spherical or vase-like group of cells containing a cavity in which some other structure grows. TERM 23 polar body DEFINITION 23 small cell that is little more than a discarded set of chromosomes TERM 24 corpus lutem DEFINITION 24 follicle cells that remain in the ovary form this temporary glandsecete both estrogen and second hormone called progesterone TERM 25 endometrium DEFINITION 25 inner lining, richly supplied wiht blood vessles ad with glands TERM 26 myometrium DEFINITION 26 outer muscular wall of the terus, conrtacts during childbirth, expelling the infant out the uterus TERM 27 cervix DEFINITION 27 a ring connective tissue that encicrles a tiny openinghold the developing baby in the uterus and then expans during labor TERM 28 menstrual cycle DEFINITION 28 1, ovarian cycle: development of follicles, the maturation of oocytes and the conversion of the follicle cells after ovulation into the corpus luteum2. uterine cycle : estrogen and progesterone produce by the overaies drive the development of the endomentrium of the uterus TERM 29 ovarian cycle DEFINITION 29 1. hypothalamus release GnRH, leads to release of FSH and LH2. FSH stimulates development of follicles with each ovary3. maturing follicle secrete increasing amounts of estrogen- promote the continue development of follicle oand the promary oocyte within it-stimulate growth of the endomertium4. surge of LH at about 13th or 14th day of cycle5. LH surge causes ovulation-transforms the remants of the follicle into the corpus luteum6. the corpus luteum secretes both estrogren and progesterone, which further stimulate the growth of the endometrium7. estrogen and progesterone reduce the release of FSH and LH , preventing the develoment of more follicles8. eg not fertilized the corpus luteum starts to disnintegrate about 12 days after ovulation9. with the corpus luteum gone, estrogen and progesterone levels fall and most disintegrates (forming the mensutral flow)-spontaneous release of GnRH resumes, restarting the cycle TERM 30 chorionic gonadotropin DEFINITION 30 a hormone like LH secreted when the embryo impants in the endometrium, comfirms pregro in prego test.
