● Ovulation occurs when an egg is released from the ovarian follicle
● Myometrium layer of the uterus contracts during labor.
● Secretory phase: Blood tests indicate that progesterone and estrogen levels are
both increased. Your patient is most likely in what phase of the female uterine
cycle?
● The Ejaculatory duct connects the seminal vesicle with the urethra to allow
sperm to exit the body.
● The Seminal vesicles join with the vas deferens to form an ejaculatory duct.
● Neurulation: Ectoderm→ convergence→ neural fold → neural tube → spinal
cord
● Fundus: It is the dome-shaped top of the uterus.
● 3 layers vaginal wall: mucosa, muscularis, adventitia
● corpus luteum: what follicle becomes after ovulation
● Corpus luteum function: Maintains pregnancy if egg is fertilized and
disintegrates if no fertilization occurs
○ The placenta, not the ovaries, maintains fetal development after the first
trimester
● Endometrium: layer of the uterus is shed monthly
● The urethral orifice is located anterior to the vaginal orifice.
● The presence of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in urine will result in a
positive pregnancy test taken at home.
● blastocyst supportive cells: amnion, placenta, umbilical cord
● proliferative phase: Blood tests indicate that estrogen and LH levels are both
elevated. Your patient is most likely in what phase of the female uterine cycle?
● The ejaculatory duct connects the seminal vesicles to the urethra
● Neurulation: Ectoderm→ convergence→ neural groove → neural tube → spinal
cord
● 2nd stage labor: the stage during which the baby moves out through the vagina
and is delivered
● 3rd stage labor: the stage during which the afterbirth is expelled
● Tail of sperm: locomotor region; flagellum
● Neck of sperm: contains centrioles that form the microtubules that make up the
rest of the tail
True:
● Each mammary gland contains 12- 24 lobules.
● Milk is not produced during pregnancy because of the production of estrogen and
progesterone.
● Vagina: the fundus is part of the nucleus
● Spermatogenesis: each primary spermatocyte produces four viable gametes
