    1. The longest part of labor. The cervix dilates up to 10cm and thins out, then the water brakes.

  2. Expulsion stage

    1. Infant comes out through the cervix, the the vagina and out of the body.

  3. Placental stage

    1. Delivery of the placenta, you continue having contractions so the placenta can be realesed from the uterine lining

How does sperm travel

  1. Seminiferous tubule

  2. Rete testes

  3. Epididymis

  4. Vas defers

  5. Ejaculatory duct

  6. Urethra

New cards
3

What is a vasectomy

When the vas deferent are cauterized by making a small incision inside the scrotum.

New cards
4

Gonads are

ovaries and testies

New cards
5

Fertilization

the union of ovum and sperm

New cards
6

Where does fertilization take place

Fallopian tube/ oviduct/ uterine tube

New cards
7

Male exocrine

sperm producing

New cards
8

Male endocirne

testosterone producing

New cards
9

Tunica albugenia

white fibrous connective tissue that protects each testical

New cards
10

Where is sperm made

seminiferous tubules

New cards
11

What cells make testosterone

interstitial cells

New cards
12

Where are interstitial cells found

inside seminiferous tuble

New cards
13

Epididymis

  • Highly coiled

  • 6m or 20 in long

  • Storage site for immature sperm to develop and mature

  • Spermatid mature in 20 days

  • Wall of the epididymis contract when a male is stimulated to expel sperm

  • The muscle contraction is called peristalsis

New cards
14

Seminal vesicle

  • located at the base of bladder

  • produce 60% of semen

New cards
15

Semen

  • Thick, yellow secretion

  • Rich in fructose, vitamin c, prostaglandins

New cards
16

Prostate Gland

  • Size and shape of chestnut

  • Below urinary bladder

  • Secrets the milk fluid that helps activate sperm

New cards
17

Bulbourethral gland

  • Pea sized

  • Secrets clear and thick mucus that drains the urethra

  • It purpose is to cleanse the urethra from acidic urine and lubricate during intercourse

New cards
18

Fructose is semen

fuel the sperm

New cards
19

Sperm pH

7.2-7.6

New cards
20

Semen contains

seminalplasmin

relaxin

enzymes that enhance sperm mobility

New cards
21

During ejaculation

2ml-5ml of sperm is released

New cards
22

Spermatogenesis

begins and puberty and continues through life

New cards
23

How many sperm are made in spermatogenesis

4 sperm cells w 23 chromosomes

New cards
24

Spermatgonia

sperm steam cell

New cards
25

FSH (male)

sperm

New cards
26

FSH (female)

ovum

New cards
27

LH (male)

testosterone

New cards
28

LH (female)

estrogen

New cards
29

LH activates

interstitial cells

New cards
30

Male secondary sex characteristics

  1. Deepening of voice

  2. Increased hair growth

  3. Enlargement of skeletal muscles

  4. Heaviness of skeletal muscles due to bone thickening

New cards
31

Exocrine (female)

eggs or ova

New cards
32

Endocrine (female)

estrogen or progesterone

New cards
33

Ovulation

when the egg is matured and gets ejected from the ovary

New cards
34

LH helps with what process

ovulation

New cards
35

FSH helps..

mature the ovum

New cards
36

Corpus luteum

reputed follicle with yellow body that degenerates after ovulation

New cards
37

What does the corpus luteum release

progesterone

New cards
38

Fertilization occurs in the

fallopian (uterine) tube/ oviduct

New cards
39

Layers of the uterus

  1. Endometrium

    1. Sheds during menstruation

  2. Myometrium

    1. Contracts during child birth or menstruation

  3. Perimetrium

    1. Outer layer

New cards
40

What is it called when the mental cycle stops

menopause

New cards
41

Oogonia

female stem cell

New cards
42

How many eggs are made in spermatogenesis

1 ovum and 3 polar bodies

(only the OVUM can be fertilized)

New cards
43

3 stages of mental cycle

  1. Menstral phase

  2. Proliferate phase

  3. Secretory phase

New cards
44

Female secondary sex characteristics

  • Enlargement of organs (Fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina and external glands)

  • Development of breast

  • Pubic + armpit hair

  • Fat deposits in hips and breast

  • Widening and lightening of pelvis

  • Start of menstrual cycle

New cards
45

Progesterone

helps mention pregnancy and prepare breast for mil production

New cards
46

Mammary glands

Found in men and women (only stimulated by female hormones)

Modified sweat glands

Each gland consists of 15 to 25 lobes

New cards
47

Stages of fertilization

  1. Zygote

  2. Early clevage

  3. Morula.

  4. Early blastocyte

  5. Late blastocysts

New cards
48

Blastocyst

Hallow ball that releases hCG (hormone) which tells the corpus luteum to release hormones. This hormone is what the pregnancy test looks for

New cards
49

Ectoderm

gives rise to nervous system and epidermis of skin

New cards
50

Endoderm

mucosal and associated glands

New cards
51

Mesoderm

everything else

New cards
52

Braxton hicks

high estrogen levels in the last week of pregnancy makes the myometrium from oxytocin which cause weak and irregular contractions (false contractions)

New cards
53

Prostaglandins are related by

placenta

New cards
54

Prostaglandins are

powerful frequent contraction

New cards
55

Oxytocin

forces the fetus to move into the mother pelvis due to stronger contractions
