What is the relationship of hormones FSH/LH and estrogen, how do they affect the process of oocyte development?

1. FSH and LH are released in higher quantities because they cause the release of estrogen, which causes increased amounts of FSH and LH to be made (positive feedback). FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone all peak at ovulation. 2. When estrogen levels hit a certain point, is causes the inhibition of FSH and LH 3. FSH and LH cause follicle growth and maturation

Ejaculatory Ducts

Which structure penetrates the prostate gland to empty into the urethra?

Ejaculatory duct

What happens during ovulation?

Ejection of the oocyte from a mature follicle

Sperm cells reach maturity in the?

Epididymis

What hormones are secreted by the Chorion (placenta)?

Estrogen, progesterone, and HCG

In what part of the uterus does fertilization occur?

Fallopian tubes (specifically Ampulla)

What do you think would be the consequence of low or no hCG production would be on pregnancy?

Miscarriage may result in low hCG levels. A pregnancy that fails to develop a placenta may not excrete higher levels of hCG. Cells that form the placenta excrete hCG once an egg has been fertilized and implanted into the uterus. HCG levels double every 72 hours and peak between eight and 11 weeks gestation. Rising hCG levels are often associated with a healthy pregnancy; however, low hCG levels have also occurred in healthy pregnancies, according to Advanced Fertility. Many variables and conditions affect hCG levels..

Oogenesis

Oogenesis: -1 gamete (1 egg) is produced -Meiosis is completed only IF fertilization occurs -the Zona Pellicida is present around Mature cells the production of immature oocytes in the ovary

All of the following organs produce a component of seminal fluid except?

Organs that Produce component of seminal fluid: -bulbourethral glands -seminal vesicles -prostate gland DON"T -testes

The trophoblast cells divide and become what structure?

Placenta Trophoblast care cells forming the outer layer of a blastocyst, which provide nutrients to the embryo and develop into a large part of the placenta. They are formed during the first stage of pregnancy and are the first cells to differentiate from the fertilized egg. This layer of trophoblasts is also collectively referred to as "the trophoblast",[1] or, after gastrulation,[2] the trophectoderm, as it is then contiguous with the ectoderm of the embryo.

If only one sperm cell made it to the oocyte do think fertilization would take place?

Probably not. You need many sperms that are releasing enzymes to break down the zona pellucida -If the sperm do not encounter an oocyte immediately, they can survive in the uterine tubes for another 3-5 days. Thus, fertilization can still occur if intercourse takes place a few days before ovulation. In comparison, an oocyte can survive independently for only approximately 24 hours following ovulation

Levels of which hormone drop dramatically as the corpus luteum degenerates, triggering the onset of menses?

Progesterone

Which statement is true about the uterus?

The cervix projects into the vagina.

When and where does hCG get produced and for how long does it exert its effects?

Released during blastocyst phase of embryo development. Produced by the trophoblast which form the placenta The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (better known as hCG) is produced during pregnancy. It is made by cells formed in the placenta, which nourishes the egg after it has been fertilized and becomes attached to the uterine wall. The level will reach its peak in the first 8-11 weeks of pregnancy and then will decline and level off for the remainder of the pregnancy.

Spermatids

Secondary spermatocytes divide to form: spermatids

What is colostrum?

Solution rich in vitamin A, protein, and IgA antibodies for the first 3ish days. After, the traditional milk is produced

How long are sperm viable for following ejaculation? How long are oocytes viable for following ovulation?

Sperm: 1-3 days (although some sources say 3-5 days) 24-72 hours Oocytes: 1 day (12-24 hrs)

What is the name of the germ cell from which sperm arise

Spermatogonia -sperm is formed in the testes. each testis contains seminiferous tubules lined by an epithelium consisting of germ cells and supporting sustentacular (or Sertoli) cells

What is epigenetics?

Study of the changes in organisms caused by modification of genes -Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression (active versus inactive genes) that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence — a change in phenotype without a change in genotype — which in turn affects how cells read the genes. Epigenetic change is a regular and natural occurrence but can also be influenced by several factors including age, the environment/lifestyle, and disease state.
