reproductive system

function of fallopian tubes

transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus

   What is the role of the cervix in the female reproductive system?

connects the uterine cavity to the vagina

What fluid-producing structure provides energy for sperm cells?

seminal vesicles

what is the Gonad for a male

testis

what is the gonad for a female

ovary

what are the gametes for a male

spermatozoa

what are the gametes for a female

oocytes

define the processes of fertilization

results in the union of a male gamete with a female gamete

what does pregnancy begin with

fertilization

what are the three major organs in the uterus structure

fundus, body and cervix

what is the layer and imapct of the perimetrium

outer protective layer

myometrium layer and a exmaple of what is important for

three smooth muscle layers important during labour

what are the two important processes of sexual reproduction

gamete production (gametogenesis) and fertilisation

define a zygote

cell formed after fertilisation

define embryo

early developing human

define a fetus

developing human after the embryonic stage

diploid 2n =

46 chromosomes in human body cells

haploid N =

23 chromosomes in human gametes

What does fertilisation do to the diploid number

combines the genetic material of the two gametes restoring the diploid number of 46 chromosomes

What does the male reproductive system produce

sperm, testosterone, and seminal fluid

What is located in the scrotum (testes)

male gonads

What is produced in the seminiferous tubules

sperm

What cells produce testosterone

Leydig cells

What is the scrotum

skin pouch that holds the testes

what muscles help regulate testicular temp

the cremaster and dartos muscles

what is the Epididymis site for

Site where sperm mature and are stored.

what does the Epididymis connect too

Vas deferens

what do the vas deferens transport

sperm from the epididymis towards the ejaculatory ducts

what are the three accessory glands

seminal vesicles, prostate glands and cowpers glands

pathway for sperm

produced in the seminiferous tubules, mature in the epididmysis and travel through the vas deferens
