The organs where oocytes are produced in the female reproductive tract are the: | ovaries |
Hormones produced by cells of the female reproductive tract are progesterone and: | estrogen |
The expanded funnel of the uterine tube is the: | infundibulum |
The projections that extend from the uterine tube into the pelvic cavity are: | fimbriae |
Fertilization of the oocyte by the sperm usually takes place in the: | uterine tube |
Transport of the oocyte through the uterine tube is encouraged by the movement of hairlike cell appendages of epithelial cells called: | cilia |
The hollow organ where the embryo develops in the female is the: | uterus |
The uterine tubes enter the uterus at the bulging upper surface of the body of the uterus called the: | fundus |
The neck of the uterus that projects into the vagina is called the: | cervix |
The inner tissue layer of the uterine wall partially sloughed off during menstruation is the: | endometrium |
The middle layer of the uterine wall composed of thick muscle layers is the: | myometrium |
The muscular tube extending between the uterus and the external genitalia is the: | vagina |
The fold of epithelium partially blocking the entrance to the vagina prior to sexual activity is the: | hymen |
The muscular tube where sperm cells are deposited during sexual intercourse is the: | vagina |
The vulva is an alternate term for the: | external genitalia |
The small mass of erectile tissue that enlarges during female sexual arousal is the: | clitoris |
During sexual intercourse, lubricants are produced by the glands known as the greater vestibular gland and the: | paraurethral gland |
Two elongated folds of skin that encircle and partially conceal the labia minora and structures of the vestibule are the: | labia majora |
After birth, the newborn gains nourishment from milk secreted from the: | mammary glands |
The production of milk is called: | lactation |
The pattern of physiological and structural changes in the female reproductive tract occurring in response to changes of ovarian hormones is known as the: | menstrual cycle |
The length of time for a complete menstrual cycle to occur is about: | 28 days |
A surge of estrogen and progesterone accompany the release of the oocyte from the follicle, a process known as: | ovulation |
The number of chromosomes present in the mature oocyte is: | 23 |
When an oocyte unites with a sperm, the resulting fertilized oocyte is called the: | zygote |
Within the uterus, the organ producing hormones and providing a medium for the transfer of nutrients, gases, and waste products between embryonic and maternal bloodstreams is the: | placenta |
During the first two months after implantation, the developing individual is referred to as an: | embryo |
The germ layer that develops into the skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles, blood, bone, and other organs is the: | mesoderm |
The heartbeat begins, ossification takes place in bones, and the body systems are developing during pregnancy in month number: | three |
