fertilisation, also known as conception, is where a male gamete and a female gamete…

a ? is the term used for the single cell created by the fusion of a male gamete with a female gamete

the gradual transformation of a single cell into a functional adult is the process of ? which is directed by hormones of the reproductive system

the reproductive system includes each of the following components excepr

in both male and females, the reproductive system ducts are connected to chambers and passageways, constituting the ? that open to the exterior of the body

in adult males, the testes secrete sex hormones called

during emission, mature spermatozoa travel along a lengthy duct system where they are mixed with secretions of accessory glands forming

in adult human females, the ovaries typically release only one immature gamete called an oocyte per

the immature oocyte travels along short uterine tubes, ending in a uterus, and a short passageway called the ? connects the iterus with the exterior

during sexual intercourse, ejaculation of the male introduces semen into the vagina and the ? ascend the female reproductive tract

after initialising of fertilisation, the oocyte matured into an ovum, and the uterus is enclosed to support the next step of development into a

proceeding from a make testis, spermatozoa travel within each of the following except

accessory organs of the male reproductive system, which secrete various fluids into the ejaculatory ducts and urethra, include each of the following excepr

the male external genitalia consist of the

in the testes, ? are responsible for the produyof androgens, the dominant sex hormones in males

spermatozoa are generated by the process of spermatogenesis, which involved three integrated processes in the following order

spermatogonia (stem cells) divide by ? to produce daughter cells, some of which differentiate into primary spermatocytes

meiosis is a special form of cell division involved in gamete production, where gametes contain

in the semniferous tubules, meiotic divisions that begin witj primary spermatocytes produce

spermatozoa are

which of the following functions do the ovaries not perform

the interior tissues, or ? of the ovary can be divided into superficial cortex and deeper medulla

oogenesis begins before a woman’s birth, accelerates at puberty, and ends at menopause, oogensis occurs monthly as part of the

the female stem cells, oogonia, complete their ? divisions before birth

between the ? if the female fetal development, the daughter cells prepare to undergo meiosis

after undergoing first steps of meiosis the process comes to a halt and tbf primary oocytes remain in a state of suspended development until the individual reaches puberty when rising levels of ? trigger start of ovulation

not all primary oocyte produced during development will survive until puberty and while the ovaries have around 2 million primordial follicles at birth degeneration by a process called ? results in a drop in this number to around 400,000 by puberty

the follicular phase is known as

which step occurs after ovulation

the menstrual cycle averages 28 days and can be divided into three stages on which order

during menses, there is a degeneration of the functional zone of the endometrium, which is sloughed by a process called

In the days after mensus, there is a functions reorganisation for restoration of the functional zone of the endometrium, stimulated and sustained by

the secretory phase of the uterine cycle lasts around

the activity of th femal reproductive tract is under hormonal control, involving an inter-play between secretions of both the ? and the gonads to coordinate the ovarian and uterine cycles

which of the following is not an estrogens circulating in the bloodstream

each of the estrogens have similar effects on target tissues and these include each of the following except

mammary glands are specialised organs that are controlled mainly by hormones of the reproductive system and by the ?, a temporary structure that provides nutrient for embryo

? usually defined as time of ovulation and menstruation ceases

how many spermatozoa are produced from each spermatogonium

what is the main role of progesterone during the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle

which is the common precursor for all sex hormones

sertoil cells perform all of the following functions except

which sex hormone has a pronounced effect on skeletal muscle growth

during the early portion of pregnancy, the corpus luteum secretes

in the follicular stage the ovary is

If the duration of the ovrian cycle is 30 days, what is the duration of the luteal phase

what effect would a blockage of progesterone receptors in the uterus have on the endometrium

home use kits for determining a woman’s fertility period depend on the presence of which hormone in the urine

in human males, testosterone is produced mainly by the
