CONTENT
1. As for the functions of the various reproductive organs, complete the following table
below.

ORGAN FUNCTION(S)
PROSTATE It´s function is to secrete liquid with a large number of functions, which are
attached to the semen at the time of orgasm, and which will serve to improve the
fertilizing capacity of sperm.
UTERO The uterus is in charge of gestation. Its function is to preserve the fertilized egg
and to offer the optimal conditions for it to develop the embryo inside it.

2. What is the purpose of gametogenesis?

The process of gametogenesis is the production is the production of sexual cells involved in reproduction, this
process occurs in the ovaries and testicles of some animals

3. The chromosomes in females sex are distributed as follows:

22 Autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes

4. Describe the features and functions:

Amniotic fluid
FUNCTIONS
-Provide a liquid medium, which through
the hydraulic suspension allows the baby
active and passive movements freely.
- It tries to protect the fetus from external
aggressions (such as possible maternal
Placenta
FUNCTIONS
-allow the feeding of the developing fetus
-Waste disposal
-the placenta produces hormones that allow
the permanence of pregnancy and modify the
metabolism and maternal physiological

abdominal traumas) or from the effect of
uterine contractions.
- prevents the umbilical cord from
compressing
- provides a stable temperature and pH
level for the correct development of the
fetus.
- provides a stable temperature and pH
level for the correct development of the
fetus.
FEATURES
-it is clear, sometimes slightly opaque,
grayish white or amber
-the smell is similar to that of sodium
hypochlorite
functions for the survival of the growing baby.
-Protective biological: the placenta behaves
like a filter that prevents the passage of many
substances, parasites, viruses and bacteria
that could affect the baby.
FEATURES
- Discoidal shape whose diameter varies
between 15 and 25 centimeters: the average
size is 18.5 cm.
-It has a thickness of 3 centimeters
-Weight from 500 to 600 grams
-Contains 15 to 20 cotyledons
- Placental phase lasts 15 minutes

A. Progesterone and gonadotropin.
B. Estrogen and progesterone.
C. Gonadotropin and follicle stimulating hormone.
D. Estrogen and follicle stimulating hormone.

7. The only direct connection between the fetus and any structure, is the umbilical cord.
Which of the following components contain?
A. An artery and a vein
B. Two arteries and a vein
C. A vein and Wharton jelly
D. Two veins and a Wharton artery

8. What is the role of the epididymis?

9. Progesterone is produced in the ovarian: Suprarenal glands and body luteum, during
the menstrual cycle phase: luteal phase of uterus.

10. Providing nutrients to support sperm metabolism, it is a function of fluid secreted by:
PROSTATA

11. Describe the ovarian cycle.

 FOLLICULAR PHASE: begins on the first day of menstruation when the

hypothalamus and the pituitary gland secrete the follicle-stimulating hormone for
the development of the follicles (they are cavities in the ovary filled with fluid that
contain the undeveloped ovum), in each cycle a dominant follicle is chosen and
also begins the production of estrogen.

 OVULATORY PHASE:
In this phase, the estrogen level is high and increases the luteinizing hormone, this
hormone in turn causes the secretion of proteolytic enzymes that degrade the
follicular tissue and allows the final stage of the ovule maturation and the release of
this towards the fallopian tuve.

 LUTEAL PHASE: the follicle produces estrogen and progesterone that forms the
endometrium in the uterus while waiting for the fertilized egg, the follicle becomes
the luteal body waiting for the beginning of the next cycle.

12. Describe the uterine or hemorrhage cycle.
