| the operation to remove the foreskin of the penis | circumcision |
| a long, tightly coiled duct that stores sperm from the testes until they are released into the vas deferens | epididymis |
| occurs when the penis fills with blood and becomes hard | erection |
| glans | the head of the penis |
| the external male reproductive organ that deposits sperm into the vagina during sexual intercourse; also used to pass urine out of the body | penis |
| a walnut-sized gland that lies beneath the bladder; produces a liquid that helps sperm to move along more easily | prostate |
| the wrinkly sac of skin sparsely covered with hair that holds the testicles and controls the temperature of the testes for sperm production | scrotum |
| the sac-like glands on each side of the bladder that produces a fluid providing nutrients for the sperm | seminal vesicles |
| two round organs located inside the scrotum that produce sperm and the male sex hormone testosterone | testicle/testes |
| a tube leading from the bladder, through the penis, to the opening at the tip of the penis; a passageway for urine and semen | urethra |
| a tube that transports sperm from the epididymis from each testicle to the urethra | vas deferens |
| the part of the uterus that protrudes into the cavity of the vagina | cervix |
| the inner lining of the uterus, which is partly shed during menstruation | endometrium |
| the larger outer pair of skin folds that enclose the vulva | labia majora |
| the smaller inner pair of skin folds that enclose the vulva | labia minora |
| the pair of organs that store and release egg cells and produce estrogen | ovaries |
| serve as a passage through which an ovum (egg) is carried from the ovary to the uterus; the place where the sperm and egg meet to create a baby (fertilization) | fallopian tubes |
| the lower part of the large intestine | rectum |
| a tube leading from the bladder that carries urine out of the body; it's opening lies in the vulva between the vagina and the clitoris | urethra |
| a pear-shaped hollow organ with muscular walls where a fertilized egg becomes embedded and the fetus develops | uterus |
| a hollow, muscular, tunnel-like structure that forms the passageway between the cervix and vulva | vagina |
| the "outside" or external sex organs | vulva |
| What are the primary sex organs of the female? | ovaries, uterine/fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina |
| Where are the ovaries found in the female body? | near the lateral walls of the pelvic cavity |
| the production of eggs (starts at birth) | oogenesis |
| occurs when oogenesis is complete | ovulation |
| process of egg being released | ovarian cycle |
| response to hormones from the ovarian cycle | uterine cycle |
| Where in the reproductive tract is the egg fertilized? | fallopian tubes |
| degeneration of the functional zone when there is no fertilized egg | menses |
| the first uterine cycle | menarche |
| failure to initiate menses | amenorrhea |
| termination of the uterine cycle | menopause |
| Describe the vaginal wall's structure. | contains blood vessels and layers of smooth muscle |
| Where in the reproductive tract does fertilization usually occur? Where does it implant | fallopian tubes; uterus |
| Which portion of the uterus extends from isthmus to vagina, and the distal end projects about 1/2 inch into the vagina? | cervix |
| male penis corresponds with _____. | cistoris |
| female fallopian tube corresponds with _____. | vas deferans |
| What glands are found around the Mons Pubis and Labia Majora? | sabacious glands and appocrine sweat glands |
| What female hormone is required for ovulation and production of estrogen and progesterone? | FSH and LH |
| What happens if implantation does not occur by day 24 of the uterine cycle? | Corpus luteum degenerates, progesterone levels go down, period happens |
| What happens if implantation does occur? | Corpus luteum continues to secrete progesterone to maintain the developing embryo, until the placenta is formed |
| the inferior portion of the uterus; extends from isthmus to vagina, and the distal end projects about 1.25 cm into vagina | cervix |
| causes maturation of follicle | FSH |
| causes ovulation | LH |
| Which gender produces more gametes in one day? How many? | Male;1/2 billion |
| Why do we have a reproductive system? | to make more gametes (sex cells) and to make hormones |
| Where are sperm produces in males? | testes |
| process of producing sperm | spermatogenesis |
| What is the general term for a male sex hormone | androgen |
| What is it called when blood is engorged into erectile tissue? | vasodilation |
| What is the function of testosterone? | makes sperm; metabolism; libida |
| Which gland secretes the milky alkaline fluid? | prostate gland |
| Which gland secretes sugar, or fructose, which allows sperm to have energy to swim? | seminal gland |
| epididamus definition? | |
| What is cut during a disectamine? idk | |
| vascular spaces within erectile tissue become engorged with blood when a male becomes sexually stimulated | erection |
| movement of semen from epididymis into urethra; response to sympathetic nerve impulses in spinal cord | emission |
| forceful movement of semen from urethra to outside | ejaculation |
| culmination of sexual stimulation accompanied by involuntary contractions of the epididymis causing emission and ejaculation of semen, resulting in a sense of psychological and physiological release | orgasm |
| hormone that stimulates oogenesis | FSH |
| causes the follicles to burst and the eggs to be released from the ovary | LH |
| Zygote implants into the ____. | uterus |
| When an egg cell leaves ovary, it immediately goes to _____ for _____. | fallopian tube for fertilization |
| Glands around exterior are ____ and ____. | appocrine and sebacious |
