front 1 What does the male reproductive system generate? | back 1 Male gametes (sperm). |
front 2 What does the female reproductive system generate? | back 2 Female gametes (ova, or eggs), fertilization (conception), implantation (start of pregnancy), gestation (pregnancy), and parturition (birth). |
front 3 Describe the roles of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): | back 3 Secreted by the anterior pituitary that stimulates development of eggs in ovaries and sperm in testes. |
front 4 Describe the roles of luteinizing hormone (LH): | back 4 Secreted by the anterior pituitary that is responsible for triggering ovulation in ovaries and the production of testosterone by testes. |
front 5 Describe the roles of the pituitary gland: | back 5 Controls growth and development. |
front 6 Describe the role of testosterone: | back 6 Hormone that stimulates male secondary sexual characteristics. |
front 7 Describe the role of estrogen: | back 7 Female sex hormone released by the ovaries. Plays a role in egg maturation. |
front 8 Apocrine sweat glands: | back 8 Accessory of the dermis in physical association with hair follicles, producing a secretion with an odor (possibly a sex pheromone). |
front 9 Eccrine sweat glands: | back 9 Accessory of the dermis that secretes sweat, used primarily for regulation of body temperature. |
front 10 Where are melanocytes located? | back 10 The epidermis. |
front 11 What does the dermis contain? | back 11 Collagen, blood vessels, glands, hair follicles, and nerve endings. |
front 12 What does the penal gland secrete? | back 12 Melatonin. |
front 13 What releases insulin? | back 13 The pancreas; it signals cells to uptake sugar. |
front 14 What does antidiuretic hormone do? | back 14 A secretion from the pituitary gland that increases the amount of water able to be reabsorbed from a collecting duct. |
front 15 The endocrine system is a set of organs that secretes hormones directly into the: | back 15 Circulatory system (chemical signals travel through the bloodstream). |
front 16 What does the hypothalamus secrete? | back 16 Both releasing and inhibiting hormones. |
