Reproductive System QUIZ

gonads

primary sex organs responsible for producing gametes and secreting sex hormones (testes & ovaries)

fimbriae

finger-like & extend from uterine tubes

oogenesis

process of egg/ovum production

spermatogenesis

process of sperm production

follicles

house primary oocytes until stimulated by hormones to mature and make the first melotic division

path of sperm

testes, seminiferous tubules, rete testis, epididymis, ductus deferens, eiaculatory duct, urethra

accessory glands that secrete fluids that form semen

seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands

head of sperm

contains enzymes to break into egg cell during fertilization

midpiece of sperm

gives sperm energy to swim, surrounded by mitochondria

tail of sperm

provides movement

endometrium

takes on the egg that is fertilized by the sperm; if egg is unfertilized, it will slough off

myometrium

responsible for contractions during childbirth

perimetrium

outer uterine wall

gonands in spermatogenisis

testes

immature gamete in spermatogenisis

spermatid

mature gamete in spermatogenisis

sperm

when are gametes made in spermatogenisis?

lifelong after puberty

number of meiotic divisions in spermatogenisis

2 (one right after the other whenever sperm are made)

type of meiotic division in spermatogenisis

equal (4 equal sized sperm cells)

hormones involved in spermatogenisis

LH, FSH, testostphone

gonands in oogenesis

ovaries

immature gamete in oogenesis

oogonia

mature gamete in oogenesis

egg/ovum

when are gametes made in oogenesis?

primary oocyte- before birth; secondary oocyte- one a month

number of meiotic divisions in oogenesis

2 (one at the beginning of ovulation, one after fertilization)

type of meiotic division in oogenesis

unequal (2 ovum, 3 tiny polar bodies)

hormones involved in oogenesis

LH, FSH, estrogens, progesterone
