Reproductive System, part 1 – Female Reproductive System: Crash Course A&P #40

1. What are the gametes for both male and female?

2. In an anatomical female, that involves the __________________________, which includes the


mons pubis over the pubic bone, and labia majora and labia minora.

3. What has the main job is to produce and release female gametes and sex hormones like
estrogen and progesterone? The ______________________________________

4. The ovary itself contains a cortex that houses developing _________________, and a medulla
that contains most of the ovary’s blood vessels and ________________________.

5. What is the process of oogenesis? ________________________________

6. The menstrual cycle is what happens in the uterus to prepare for a


___________________________ egg.

7. When puberty begins, the hypothalamus starts up the ovarian cycle by secreting gonadotropin-
releasing hormone about once a _____________________. This is a sex hormone that
stimulates the anterior pituitary to release two more hormones:

8. When the egg pushes through ovary, it has to float a short way through the peritoneal cavity
before it’s caught by a _______________________________ tube. Now, only if and when an egg
fuses with a sperm does it actually complete meiosis II and officially become an ovum.

9. If fertilization does happen, then the new embryo snuggles into the endometrium for
_________________ but the uterus is only receptive to implantation for a short time, about a
week after ovulation.

10. List 2 things you learned or found interesting in this video:

Reproductive System, part 2 - Male Reproductive System: Crash Course A&P 41

1. How long does it take for an ovum and a follicle to develop?

2. Why do the testes need to be outside the body captivity?

3. What are the stem cells that set the sperm making process in motion by dividing?
_____________________

4. How many sperm per second can the male crank out? _____________________

5. This system of tubes feeding into tubes allows all the necessary glands to make their
contributions to a moving wave of seminal fluid that helps sperm mature and perform their
ultimate function: ________________________.
6. List 2 things you learned or found interesting from this episode of Crash Course:

Reproductive System, part 3 – Sex and Fertilization Crash Course A&P #42

1. What are the four different phases of the sexual cycle? excitement, plateau, orgasm, and
_________________________.

2. The plateau phase is marked by increased muscle tension, heart rate, blood pressure, and
__________________________ rates.

3. Sex involves a fertile anatomical female and male and the timing is right, it could ultimately end
with ________________________________________.

4. The oocyte then quickly completes meiosis II, leaving two daughter cells: the large
______________ and a puny second polar body.

5. List 3 different contraception options:

6. Hormonal methods of contraception use synthetic _____________________________ and


progestin to prevent the progression of the ovarian cycle to ovulation, and sometimes make
changes to the functional uterine layer, the endometrium, and cervical mucus to help deter
sperm.

7. REVIEW: You learned about the four phases of the human sexual response, how a sperm finds
and fertilizes an egg, creating a ___________________ , and how different types of
contraception work to prevent that from happening.

Reproductive System, part 4 – Sex and Development: Crash Course A&P #43

1. Assuming the average human is about 1.7 meters, it’s safe to say that you’re about 850 times
taller than when you started out, as a ___________________________.

2. On a physiological level, like so many aspects of our body’s functions, pregnancy begins and
ends with the same thing: _______________________________________

3. It involves a system of hormonal signals that get interpreted by the very earliest human cells
into three simple instructions: Divide. Differentiate. ________________________________

4. About three days after fertilization, these divisions have formed a little berry-shaped cluster of
cells that looks different and complex enough to get a whole new name –
a__________________________, from the Latin for “mulberry.”

5. From here on, the changes are best understood not just in terms of the budding soon-to-be
embryo, but in terms of the whole environment where its changes are taking place. That
environment being: the _________________________________.
6. What new organ is formed that is going to take over the hormone-controlling job?
____________________
The placenta together with the umbilical cord, provides for the direct transfer of nutrients,
hormones, and wastes between mother and _______________________________.

7. What is the hormone that loosesns joints and ligaments to increase flexibility and it also releases
human placental lactogen, or hPL? _____________________________________

8. It also has a huge effect on the cardiovascular system, because a pregnant woman’s blood
volume can increase by as much as _________%.

9. What is the hormone released that tell the placenta to release even more estrogen to get the
uterus ready for birth? _______________________________________________

When the contractions get strong enough to distend the cervix, it stimulates the release of even more
oxytocin and prostaglandins, which keep the contractions rolling in one big positive feedback loop,
initiating _______________________
