estrogen

A 4-inch-long tube that connects an ovary to the uterus

fallopian tube

Female reproductive glands that produce ova and estrogen, as well as house the ovum

ovaries

The period in the menstrual cycle in which the unfertilized egg and the lining of the uterus leave the body in a menstrual flow is known as:

menstruation

The female's external genitals are known as

vulva

A muscular organ that receives and supports the fertilized egg during pregnancy and contractsduring childbirth to help with delivery.

uterus

The absence of menstruation is a condition called:

amenorrhea

path of female reproductive system

ovaries, fallopian tube, uterus, cervix, vagina

trimesters of pregancy

The uterus prepares muscles for labor during

Trimester 3

The mother experiences an increase in breast size and breast tenderness during

trimester 1

The mother can begin to feel the fetus moving inside her abdomen during

trimester 2

The mother will experience irregular contractions or false labor during

trimester 3

The baby's heart begins beating during

trimester 1

trimester 1

Fertilization and child birth

how many sperm are needed to fertilize an egg

one

The process by which the zygote attaches to the uterine wall

implantation

The name for a group of developing cells after 2 months

fetus

After 5 days, the fertilized cell is known as

blastocyst

The baby's lifeline to the mother.

umbilical cord

This is the attachment site to the mother's uterine wall and separates the mother's blood from the embryo's blood

placenta

Pelvic exams are performed to determine the dilation of the:

cervix

this is the natural occurrence of losing an embryo or fetus early on in a pregnancy

miscarriage

These twins are the result of two different eggs being fertilized by two different sperm

fraternal twins

This is a surgical method of birth and takes about one hour to complete

cesarean section (C-section)

This is when the blastocyst becomes implanted somewhere other than the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube

stage 3

Sexually transmittted diseases/abstinence

there are two types of this virus; one causes cold sores and the other causes genital sores

gonorrhea

this virus is responsible for genital warts/ sores

human papilomavirus 2 (HPV2)

This is a bacterial disease that progresses through stages and if left untreated, could lead to death

Syphilis

There are roughly 40 types of this viral infection that effects roughly 79 million people, and it is the most common viral STD in the United States

Trichomoniasis

This is the most common bacterial STD in the United States and effects roughly 2.8 million people each year

Chlamydia

Immune System and immunity

This type of immunity results from receiving vaccines for short-term disease risk

Artificially acquired passive immunity

Which type of blood cells help to fight infection

white blood cells

This is a dead or weakened pathogen that is introduced to the body to form an immunity to a specific disease

vaccine

According to the epidemiological model, what is the recipient of a disease

host

Transferring a disease through touching, kissing, biting and/or sexual contact is known as

Direct contact transmssion

This is the first level of disease prevention, which would include good nutrition and exercise

primary prevention

These white blood cells produce antibodies

B cells (B lymphocytes)

This type of pathogen causes things such as the common cold and mumps

active immunity

Chemotherapy would be an example of what level of disease prevention

Tertiary prevention

Infectous and noninfectious diseases

During this stage a relapse of the disease may occur

Convalescent stage

During this stage is when the first symptoms occur and the person may be contagious
