    Part B: Fill In The Blanks
    1. The part of the male reproductive system that creates an antacid secretion is called the ________________
    ________________.
    2. Semen is composed of ________________, which is made in the ________________tubules, and
    secretions from the ________________gland, ________________glands, and
    ________________vesicles.
    3. The seminal vesicles secrete a fluid that is rich in the monosaccharide ________________, which serves
    as ________________for the sperm.
    4. Cowper’s glands secrete a fluid that acts as a ________________.
    5. The ________________cells in the testes produce testosterone in response to the hormone LH.
    6. The hormone ________________promotes spermatogenesis.
    7. The male hormone testosterone is a ________________hormome, meaning that it is ________________-
    soluble. Like all steroid hormones, it is derived from the steroid hormone ________________.
    8. ________________is made inside the seminiferous tubules and sent from there to the
    ________________for storage.
    9. Label the diagram of the male reproductive system.

    tubules, urethra, penis, vas deferens. ________________________________, ________________,
    ________________________________, ________________, ________________
    11. Label the parts of the diagram of the sperm cell and list a function for each part:

    Name Function

    X
    Y
    Z
    12. List 3 function of testosterone
    A
    B
    C
    13. The ____________produces the hormone GnRH when testosterone and ___________levels are
    ________.
    14. This causes the ________________pituitary gland to release ________________and ________________.
    15. LH causes ________________cells in the testes to release more ________________.

    Name: Block: Date:

    16. FSH causes the seminiferous tubules to absorb more ________________, which in turn causes them to
    produce more ________________. As it makes more sperm, it also releases more of the hormone
    ________________. High levels of this hormone feedback to the ________________and
    ________________, causing them to release less of their hormones.
    17. Label the following diagram and give a function for each labeled part.

    Name Function

    18. List 3 functions of estrogen:


    A
    B
    C
    19. The entrance to the uterus is called the ________________.
    20. The female erectile organ containing many sensory nerve receptors is called the ________________.
    21. the menstrual cycle lasts on average _____days. Day 1 is the first day that ________________starts, and
    usually finishes by day 5.
    22. During menstruation, levels of female ________________are low.
    23. In the follicular phase (days 1 – 14), low levels of hormones are detected by the hypothalamus, which
    releases ________________. This is sent to the pituitary gland, which releases _________and
    _________.
    24. FSH causes several immature ____________, along with their surrounding ________________cells, in the
    ovaries to begin to develop. The developing follicle cells release increasing amounts of
    ________________.
    25. This hormone is responsible for the ________________phase of the uterine cycle. In the uterus,
    ________________vessels and ________________proliferate.
    26. Rising levels of estrogen cause the release of a large amount of LH on about day 13 which causes
    ________________.
    27. Ovulation normally occurs on day ________________. In ovulation, the ________________is released
    from the ovary, leaving behind the ________________cells, which go on to form the ________________
    ________________. This structure continues to release the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Of
    these two hormones, ________________is most important for the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle. This
    hormone cause the ________________phase of the uterine cycle. The uterine glands mature and release
    a thick mucus, and the endometrium ________________in thickness.
    28. High levels of ________________cause ________________feedback to the anterior pituitary, shutting
    down the release of _________. Lower levels of LH cause the __________________ ______________to
    disintegrate. Since it is breaking down, it can no longer release estrogen and progesterone.
    29. Low levels of female ________________by day 28 will cause the uterine ________________to be shed,
    and the cycle will start anew.
    30. However, if fertilization happens, the ________________cycle will be interrupted. Fertilization usually
    occurs in the upper ________________. The fertilized egg is first called a ZYGOTE and then an
    ________________as it divides through mitosis.

    31. The embryo, upon reaching the UTERUS, will embed itself into the endometrium. This is called
    ________________.
    32. A shared set of membranes called the placenta forms around the embryo. This will begin to secrete the
    hormone HCG, which temporarily maintains the corpus luteum.
    33. As the placenta develops and matures, it makes its own ________________and ________________. This
    will maintain the uterine lining so that ________________does not occur during pregnancy.
    34. After 9 months, the fetus is ready to be born. The pressure of the baby’s head against the cervix causes a
    nerve impulse to be sent to the hypothalamus. This causes the hypothalamus to release the hormone
    ________________to the pituitary, which releases it into the blood. This hormone causes
    ________________. It operates on a ________________feedback loop. The hormone causes the uterine
    muscles to ________________with ever greater intensity until the baby is pushed out of the uterus through
    the ________________, which serves as the birth canal.
    35.
