primitive gonads

-with SRY: medulla proliferates to form testes -no Y (but probably some other factors): cortex proliferates to form ovaries -the reproductive system is not fully functional until puberty -at puberty, hypothalamus secretes hormones that tell anterior pituitary to release FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone), which act on ovaries and testes -so you need FSH and LH to start gamete maturation and increased sex hormone production by the gonads

7 steps of the sliding filament model of contraction of a skeletal muscle

1. nerve impulse is carried from the brain/spinal cord to the muscle by the axon of a motor neuron 2. axon meets muscle fiber at the neuromuscular junction 3. axon releases chemical neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which binds the the sarcolemma 4. a nerve impulse is generated in the carcolemma and it pushes down the T-tubules, and the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca2+ 5. Ca2+ ions bind to the thin myofilaments, which helps thick myofilaments attach to it 6. myofilaments slide over one another; sarcomere shortens; muscle contracts 7. when nerve impulse stops, Ca2+ returns to the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the myofilaments slide back to their resting state
