| 1. Stores sperm & Coiled tubule in which sperm mature | Epididymis |
| 2. Seminferous tubules within lobule produce: | Sperm |
| 3. Secretes 60% of volume of semen, Secretes fructose (sugar) as nutrient | Seminal vesicle |
| 4. Prostate gland Contributes about 30% of semen volume & Bulbourethral glands Both: | Secretes alkaline mucus as a lubricant and buffer against vaginal acidity |
| 5. Female gonads: | Ovaries |
| 6. Hormone need during pregnancy & used in placenta: | Progesterone |
| 7. Initiates repair/growth endometrium, female secondary sex characteristics, sex drive: | Estrogens |
| 8. (LH) Triggers: | Ovulation |
| 9. Finger like grabs the ovaries | Fimbriae |
| 10. oocytes declines with age, until ovarian cycles end at age 45–55 (time period) : | Menopause |
| 11. Uterine Cycle: | Also called, menstrual cycle~ 28 days begins with Onset of menses “period” Lasts 1 to 7 days Lose of functional zone of endometrium. |
| 11. Uterine Cycle: | Then Proliferative phase follows menses Repair, growth of functional zone of endometrium (Menses and proliferative phase occur during ovarian follicular phase). Last: Secretory phase( follows ovulation) Endometrial glands become active |
| 12. The ovarian cycle | Refers to the series of changes in the ovary during which the follicle matures, the ovum is shed and the corpus luteum develops. |
| 13. Follicular phase | Describes the development of the follicle in response to follicle stimulation hormone (FSH). As luteinizing hormone (LH) levels increase they stimulate ovulation, or the release of a mature oocyte into the fallopian tubes. |
| 14. Luteal phase | the corpus luteum forms on the ovary and secretes many hormones, most significantly progesterone, which makes the endometrium of the uterus ready for implantation of an embryo. |
