SCIENCE THIRD

• TESTES, TESTIS, TESTICLE - PRODUCE SPERM CELLS
• SCROTUM - SAC OF SKIN THAT HOLDS THE TESTIS
• PENIS - DEPOSITS SPERMS INTO THE VAGINA DURING MATING
• VAS DEFERENS ( TUBE ) - CARRIES SPERM FROM TESTES TO URETHRA
• URETHRA - CARRIES SPERM AND URINE OUT OF THE BODY
• GLANDS - PROVIDE LIQUID IN WHICH SPERM CAN SWIM
• SEMINAL VESICLE - SECRETES A FLUID THAT MAKES UP MOST OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE SEMEN
• PROSTATE GLANDS - SECRETES A SLIGHTLY ALKALINE MILKY FLUID THAT IS DISCHARGED AS PART OF THE SEMEN
• BULBOURETHRAL GLAND / COWPERS GLAND - SECRETES A THICK AND CLEAR MUCUS THAT LUBRICATES AND NEUTRALIZES THE ANY TRACE OF ACIDIC URINE IN THE URETHRA
• OVARY - PRODUCE EGG CELLS
• FALLOPIAN TUBE / OVIDUCT - SERVES AS PASSAGEWAY OF EGGS FROM THE OVARY TO THE UTERUS; SITE OF EGG FERTILIZATION
• UTERUS - SERVES AS SITE OF EGG IMPLANTATION IS WHERE THAT FERTILIZED EGG DEVELOPS
• VAGINA - RECEIVES THE PENIS OF MALE DURING MATING
• FIMBRIAE - SMALL, FINGER-LIKE PROJECTIONS AT THE END OF FALLOPIAN TUBES CONNECTED TO THE OVARY THROUGH WHICH EGGS MOVE FROM THE OVARIES TO UTERUS
• CERVIX - LOWER PORTION OF THE UTERUS AND CONNECTS THE VAGINA WITH THE MAIN BODY OF UTERUS ACTING AS GATEWAY BETWEEN THEM
• EPIDIDYMIS - CARRIES AND STORES THE SPERM CELLS THAT YOUR TESTICLES CREATE
• REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM - ALSO CALLED GENITAL SYSTEM
• MALE AND FEMALE ARE DEVELOPED FROM THE SAME EMBRYOLOGICAL STRUCTURE
• PITUITARY GLAND - CONTROLS THE FUNCTIONS OF BOTH TESTES AND OVARIES
• HORMONES - KEEP THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM PROPERLY FUNCTIONING
• FEMALES MAIN REPRODUCTIVE HORMONES ARE ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE
• TESTOSTERONE IS A MALE REPRODUTIVE HORMONE
• PITUITARY GLAND SECRETES FSH AND LH THAT WILL GO TO THE TESTES AND OVARIES
• HYPOTHALAMUS REGULATES PITUITARY GLAND
• TESTES WILL PRODUCE TESTOSTERONE AND SPERM CELLS
• OVARIES WILL PRODUCE HORMONES CALLED ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE AND EGG CELLS
• PRINCIPAL REGULATORS OF THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

  GONADOTROPIN RELEASING HORMONE ( GnRH ), FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE ( FSH ), LUTEINIZING HORMONE ( LH )
• FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE ( FSH ) STIMULATES SPERMATOGENESIS
• LUTEINIZING HORMONE ( LH) STIMULATES THE PRODUCTION OF TESTOSTERONE
• TESTOSTERONE STIMULATES THE DEVELOPMENTS OF MALE SECONDARY SEX CHARACTERISTICS AND SPERMATOGENESIS
• FOLLICLES PRODUCE HORMONES THAT CONTROL THE GROWTH AND RELEASE OF EGGS FROM THE OVARIES
• FSH AND LH CAUSE ESTROGEN TO BE PRODUCED
• MENOPAUSE OCCURS WHEN THE OVARIES LOSE THEIR SENSITIVITY TO FSH AND LH AND THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVES CYCLES SLOW TO A STOP
• WHAT PART OF THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM PRODUCES ESTROGEN?

  OVARIES
• WHAT IS A HORMONE?

  CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE
• A TISSUE OR GROUP OF TISSUES THAT MAKE AND RELEASES HORMONES - ENDOCRINE GLANDS
• WHICH HORMONES ARE FOUND IN THE CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS?

  ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE
• WHICH HORMONE PROMOTES THE THICKENING OF THE ENDOMETRIUM AND ALSO INHIBITS THE HORMONE THAT PROMOTES THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOLLICLE WALL INTO THE CORPUS LUTEUM?

  PROGESTERONE
• WHICH HORMONE IS INHIBITED DURING PREGNANCY IN ORDER TO PREVENT CONTRACTION OF THE UTERUS?

  PROGESTERONE
• WHICH TWO HORMONES PROMOTE THICKENING OF THE ENDOMETRIUM?

  PROGESTERONE AND ESTROGEN
