What are the four hormones involved in the regulation of the reproductive cycle?
The four main hormones in the female menstrual cycle are: follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH), estrogen, luteinising hormones (LH), and progesterone. FSH is produced in in the beginning of the cycle by the pituitary glands. FSH stimulates follicles (which are cavities in the ovaries) to produce estrogen. An increase in estrogen causes the LH to rise, which causes a mature egg to release from the ovaries. When the mature egg is not met with any sperm, progesterone is created and the egg, along with the uterine lining, is shed. If the egg IS met with sperm, a new hormone, human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, or hCG, is produced to keep the follicle active.
Where does the excess sperm go when the egg is already fertilized?
The excess sperm dies and it dissolves.
What is the meaning of asexuality reprodutions?
A jellyfish can have a live jellyfish split from its body.
What is the Kegel exercise for a dropped uterus?
Mild conditions of dropped uterus, aka Uterine Prolapse, can be helped by doing Kegel exercises to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor and vagina. Sometimes these conditions require surgical correction, however. The Kegel exercises are the same regardless of the condition being treated. See the related questions below for information and links about Kegel exercises and how to do them.
What is the function of the uterus?
A uterus is the place that a fetus develops.
The uterus is where the egg grows and develops so it is very important
- Uterus is the place in mammals where the embryo gets attached itself and development of baby takes place here.
- Developing baby gets oxygen and nutrition through uterus.
- Uterus allows the excretion of carbon dioxide and nitrogenous wastes from the baby.
- Uterus also supplies antibodies to protect the young one from Infectious Diseases.
- During pregnancy, uterus produces progesterone, a hormone for the maintenance of pregnancy.
The job of the uterus is the break down the babies food and to hold the baby in
In human or mammalian reproductive systems in general, there can be no reproduction without a uterus. It is essential. Even in the case of in vitro fertilization, the zygote must be implanted in a uterus in order to gestate. There is as yet no artificial womb, although if we could invent one it would be tremendously useful.
In short,the role of the uterus in mammals is to hold and nourish the growing fetus until it is ready for birth.
It is to be shed every month after ovulation if fertilization doesn't occur.....
The primary function of the uterus is to serve as the site of implantation for a fertilized egg and to support the embryo/foetus throughout its development during pregnancy. The uterus is also the site of menstruation.
the woman produces and births the baby. obviously...
The primary function of a uterus is to receive and nourish a growing embryo.
The uterus is the structure in a female mammal in which unborn entities are carried during pregnancy. Eggs produced by the ovaries reside in the uterus for their duration of fertility, after which, if they are not fertilized, they are expelled during ovulation, along with the uterine lining. The uterus is critical to mammalian reproduction.
Which two endocrine organs are directly related to the reproductive system?
The ovaries and testes are endocrine organs that are also parts of the reproductive systems of females and males, respectively.
If a woman's fallopian tubes are blocked how is her body affected?
If a woman's fallopian tubes are blocked this affects her body by making it very difficult, if not impossible, for her to become pregnant. Fertilization of an egg and sperm takes place in the fallopian tube. If they are blocked, fertilization won't occur.

What is the function of gametOGENESIS?
During gametogenesis egg and sperm are produced for sexual reproduction.
What is regulates the temperature for the testes?
The human body naturally controls the temperature of the testicles.
When it is cool, the testicles may extend into the body to keep warm, or drop when the temperature rises to keep cool.
Some types of clothes may impact this, leading to low sperm count, such as tight briefs or tight pants that press the testicles against the skin and keep them too warm for an extended period of time.
There is also a medical procedure called artificial insemination, which makes it possible to become pregnant without actually engaging in sex.
What can the ovum become if it joins a sperm?
When the ovum and sperm come together they become a fertlized egg also known as a zygote.
Acrosomal reaction in fertilization in bovines?
as evidenced by light microscopey electron microscopy and in vitro fertilization
The structures that receive the ovulated oocyte providing a site for fertilization are called?
uterine or fallopian tubes
When can you say that fertilization in sexual reproduction took place?
Fertilization is when a sperm cell and egg cell fused together to develop an embryo.
So it happens within the 24 hours after the egg is released. That can be around the second week of the cycle.
What does Gametogenesis in male animals results in?
Gametogenesis in male animals results in the production of the haploid sperm. This is called spermatogenesis.
Are Sex hormones are produced only by the gonads.?
No, sex hormones are produced by the adrenal glands as well as the gonads. After menopause, for instance, the adrenals make most of women's sex hormones.
it would be the hypothalamus
What percent chance did you and yoyr partner have of producing male or female offspring?
50/50 chance
What part of the female duct system is the usual sight of fertilization of the ovulated oocyte?
Uterine/Fallopian Tubes
What techniques are sometimes used to help a woman who has blocked Fallopian tubes have a child?
In virto fertilization and implantation are some commonly used techniques.
