Endocrine Gland

Produces and releases chemical substances that signals changes in other parts of the body.

Hormones

Chemical substance produced by endocrine gland.

Hypothalamus

Gland in the brain, part of the nervous and the endocrine system (controls pituitary system)

Thyroid gland

Regulates the body’s overall metabolic rate

Parathyroid gland

4 tiny nodes on the thyroid that regulates calcium and phosphorus.

Pancreas

Large gland located behind the stomach controls. Sugar levels in the blood

Ovaries

Female reproductive glands, release sex hormones that regulate egg maturation.

Pituitary gland

Controls other endocrine glands regulates growth rate, reproduction, and metabolism

Thymus gland

Hormones released help the immune system during adolescence. By the end it shrinks.

Sperm

The males reproductive cells.

Fertilization

Sperm cell may join with an egg

Testes

Organs of the male reproductive system

Testosterone

Sex hormone that affects the production of sperm

Scrotum

Testicles, hang outside the body cavity within a sac of skin

Ovum

They are called eggs or ova

Ovaries

Reproductive glands in which eggs are produced

Estrogen

Sex hormone activates certain physical changes at puberty

Heredity

Passing on, or transmission of biological traits from parent to child

Chromosomes

Tiny structures found within cells that carry information about characteristics you will inherit

Zygote

United egg and sperm

Embryo

Two-cell stage until about nine weeks after fertilization

Amniotic Sac

A fluid-filled bag of thin tissue

Placenta

Attachment holding the embryo to the wall of the uterus

Umbilical Cord

Rope like structure develops between the embryo and the placenta

25 days after fertilizing (a ropelike structure.)

Fetus

From the third month until birth

Blastocysts

50 to 100 cells. Is no longer a solid mass of cells

Implantation

blastocyst attaches to the wall of the Uterus

Obstetrician

Pregnant woman doctor

Ultrasound

High Frequency sounds waves that take pics of baby

Chronic villa sampling

Test a small piece of the placenta

Amniocentesis

14th to 16th week, needle into the abdomen

Ectopic Pregnancy

Blastocyst implants in the fallopian tube or elsewhere in the abdomen

Preeclampsia(Toxemia)

High Blood Pressure makes unsafe for baby

Gestational Diabetes

High blood sugar level is too high

Labor

Giving birth

Postpartum

Period adjustment for the parents

C-Section

Surgical method of birth

Premature

Before the 37 weeks

Low Birth Weight

5.5lbs and lower

Preadolescent

Birth to 18 months

(Cries for helps)

Beginning of Life Cycle

Fertilization occurs when a single sperm is united with an egg

The zygote undergoes repeated cell divisions as it travels through the fallopian tube

The growing structure is called an embryo from the two south stage until about nine weeks

The embryo reaches the uterus and becomes a blastocyst

The blastocyst undergoes implantation altering itself to the wall of the uterus

0-2 months

Major body systems and organs start to form an embryo

3-6 months

The fetus begins to move kick, sense. Organs begin to function in alternates between activity and sleep.

7-9 months

The body of the fetus increases in sized body, fat accumulates, and it becomes ready to be born.

Effect of getting enough folic acid during pregnancy

Proper development of an embryo neural tube (brain, and spinal cord development)

Effect of getting regular exercise during pregnancy

Helps increase energy and helps reduce of health problems, such as diabetes

Effects of alcohol during pregnancy

Can harm developing embryo or fetus risk of fetal alcohol syndrome

Effect of avoiding cat litter during pregnancy

Can cause harm to the developing embryo or fetus (environmental substances)

First trimester

Measuring the size of the uterus (medical history, and weight)

Second trimester

Monitoring fetal heartbeat

Third trimester

Checking for complications positions and size (signs of premature baby)

Three technologies doctors may use to monitor a pregnancy

Ultrasound, Chronic villa sampling, amniocentesis

Etopic pregnancy

Blastocyst implants in the fallopian tube surgeries needed to remove the embryo

Miscarriage

Embryo dies in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy usually caused by a serious genetic defect

Preeclampsia

High blood pressure, swelling of the wrist and ankles and high levels of protein in the urine prevents fetus from getting enough oxygen treated with bedrest or medication

Gestational Diabetes

Women develops high blood sugar levels if untreated fetus may grow too large

Three functions of male reproductive

-To produce sex hormones

-Produce sperm

-Deliver sperm

Sperm Production

-Testosterone

-LH

-FSH

Menstrual Cycle

Day 14&15- Ovaries release mature egg

Which of the following is Genetic

Colon Cancer

Cystic Fibroses

Highblood pressure

Alzhemeirs Disease

Cystic Fibroses

Substances released by endocrine gland

Hormones

Where is sperm produced

Testes

Name for female reproductive cells

Ova cells

Reproductive cells for males are

sperm

Puberty starts when the ______ signals the LH and FSH

Hypothalamus- Signals the Pituitary to start producing these glands

What prevents unnecessary diseases

Abstinence

The developing baby called is called ____ 3-6 months

fetus

What part of the brain controls the pituitary? How does It control the pituitary

The hypothalamus. It does this by linking the nervous and under consistent.

What hormone released by the adrenal gland is involved in the fight or flight response

Adrenaline

What endocrine gland releases a hormone that regulates the bodies overall metabolic rate

Thyroid gland

What endocrine glands are located above the kidneys?

Adrenal gland

Which endocrine glands regulate the levels of calcium of phosphorus in the body

Parathyroid

Which gland is located behind the stomach? What role does it play?

Pancreas, control, blood sugar level

Which gland, sex hormones in males? In females?

Testes in males, females is ovaries

When people blame puberty on raging hormones, what are they talking about?

The rapid increase and fluctuation of hormones during puberty, especiallyestrogen and testosterone.
