Male Reproductive
Gamete cell
Sperm
Houses the location where sperm fuses with the egg
Female Reproductive System
The number of periods on average that occur in a year for a healthy female
12
The inner group of cells in a sphere with an outer shell that will become the embryo
Blastocyst
Forms around the baby and fills with fluid to act as a shock absorber and provide nutrients
Amniotic Sac
2 functions of Testes
Testerone and sperm production
This tube is not lined with cilia in the transportation of the gamete cell
Male Reproductive System
This disease is caused by bacterial infections that result from improper tampon usage
Toxic Shock Syndrome
In a zygote, the sperm has united with the egg and exchanges all of this for the baby
DNA
Occurs in Stage 3
Delivery of the placenta aka The Afterbirth
List in order 7 internal structures from start to finish for the pathway of sperm
Testis, epididymis, vas deferences, seminal vesicle, prostate gland, bulbourethral gland, urethra
FSH and LH are rhythmically secreted to control reproductive physiology
Male and Female Reproductive Systems

Nutrition, Exercise, Age, Genetics, etc.
The embryo receives this from the mother's blood after it is implanted in the uterine lining
Nutrients; nourishment
This pancake-shaped organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy is made up of blood vessels and provides nutrients, oxygen, water, antibodies, and waste removal is delivered during stage 3
Placenta

DNA/nucleus, tail, mitochondria
In some cultures, the foreskin is removed shortly after birth
Male Reproductive System
Occurs when the ovary releases the most mature, ripe egg
Ovulation
Location of fertilization
Fallopian tubes
Stage in which the cervix softens and dilates
Stage 1
2 parts of the brain that are responsible for synthesizing reproductive hormone
Hypothalamus and pituitary gland
Finger-like projections that sweep up the gamete cell
Female Reproductive System - Fimbrae
The process that occurs when women produce only one mature egg cell each month
Menstrual Cycle
As the zygote travels down the fallopian tubes it undergoes several of these in the process
Cell divisions
The longest stage in the labor and delivery process
Stage 2
