Ovulation occurs in response to the release of an anterior pituitary hormone known as ________ hormone.

List and describe the three stages of labor.

Sperm are matured and ejaculated from the epididymis and ductus (vas) deferens, which are the terminal portions of the male duct system.

Ovulation occurs in response to a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) near the end of the proliferative phase of the uterine (menstrual) cycle.

Oocytes are carried toward the uterus both by cilia and peristalsis.

Using Figure 16.1, identify the following: -The urethra is indicated by ________.

Maturing sperm gain their ability to swim while in the ________.

The hormone testosterone is produced by the ________ cells of the testes.

A primary oocyte undergoes meiosis to produce a secondary oocyte and a polar body.

The spermatic cord houses the ________.

The period of life between 10 and 15 years of age is known as ________. It is during this time that the reproductive organs grow to their adult size and become functional under the influence of hormones.

An erection results from blood filling the spongy erectile tissues of the penis.

On which day of the female's uterine (menstrual) cycle does ovulation typically occur?

One primary spermatocyte completes two divisions of meiosis to produce four sperm.

What effect does luteinizing hormone (LH) have on a female?

The placenta and its attached fetal membranes, delivered during the placental stage of labor, are called the afterbirth.

The process by which the acrosome membranes of sperm break down is known as ________.
