Male Reproductive System
This contains seminiferous tubules that produce sperm during spermatogenesis
testes
These are responsible for producing oocytes and reproductive hormones
ovaries
This happens when fertilization and implantation do not occur
menstruation is triggered
This kind of labor involves uterine contractions at regular intervals and dilation of cervix, expulsion of fetus, and delivery of the placenta
true labor
The process that results in the union if a male gamete with a female gamete
fertilization
ductus deferens / vas deferens
The 3 major regions of the uterus
This hormone works with estrogen to prepare the endometrium for implantation
progesterone
false labor
Rapid cell division of the zygote
cleavage
The accessory glands of the male reproductive system include these 3 structures
seminal vesicles, prostate, bulbourethral glands
What kind of cells contract to propel milk through ducts
myoepithelial cells
These fast and slow reactions prevent another sperm from penetrating the egg's membrane
polyspermy block
Early stage milk that is not as nutritious as true milk, but contains antibodies to protect the baby
colostrum
Hollow ball of differentiated cells
blastocyte
The muscles in the spermatic cord that regulate the temperature of the testes
cremaster muscles, dartos muscles
The ovaries can produce these 4 hormone
estrogen, progesterone, inhibin, relaxin
This hormone is secreted when fertilization and implantation do occur
human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)
High levels of this hormone increase the number of oxytocin receptors in the uterine muscle fibers
estrogen
Formation and development of oocytes
This hormone stimulates the secretion of 2 anterior pituitary gonadotrophin hormones at puberty
gonadotrophin releasing hormone
Name the 4 uterine tubes
infundibulum, fimbriae, ampulla, isthmus
In this phase, the corpus luteum develops from the ruptured follice
post ovulatory phase
This hormone is produced by chorion and prepares the mammary glands for lactation
human chorion somatomammotropin
Formation and development of sperm in the seminiferous tubules
spermatogenesis
