Exam 43: Physiology of Reproduction: Gametogenesis and the Female Cycles

The final process in production of sperm, yielding cells with small heads and long tails, is called .

Steps seen in meiosis but not mitosis are .

Spermatogonia in the seminiferous tubules are located .

This hormone promotes the enrichment of the blood supply and secretion of nutrients of the functional layer of the endometrium during the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle.

Oogonia are found in the ovary _ .

This hormone stimulates production of the ovarian follicle.

When spermatogonia divide, are formed.

What is true about gametogenesis in both males and females?

The follicle produces the hormone _, while the corpus luteum produces the hormones _ and .

These hormones control the uterine cycle.

At the time of ovulation a(n) is extruded from a follicle.

In the male, this hormone stimulates interstitial endocrine cells to produce testosterone.

The process of cellular division by which gametes are formed is called .

Development of the oocyte and follicular growth occur in the of the ovary.

The of the sperm contains enzymes necessary for the penetration of the egg.

Primary spermatocytes contain the _ _ number of chromosomes; secondary spermatocytes contain the number.

These cells of the seminiferous tubule nourish the spermatids as they develop into sperm.

Human gametes contain _ chromosomes; somatic cells contain _ .

These cells begin the second mitotic division in spermatogenesis.

Oocytes develop in a structure called a(n) .
