Reproductive Study Questions
Pages 938 and 939Critical Thinking Questions: 4, 7
What effect would it have on a woman's menstrual cycles if a single ovary were removed surgically? What effect would it have if both ovaries were removed. I think that it would cause early menopause becuase of the lack of hormones. I think it would cause much confusion?
What types of contraceptives provide the greatest protection against sexually transmitted diseases? Condoms.Review Exercises: 1, 7, 8, 10, 11, 20, 29, 33, 38, 40, 49, 54, 58, 61, 62, 63
List the general functions of the male reproductive system.THey are specialized to produce and maintain sperm, they also transport these cells to the female reproductive tract
Outtline the process of meiosis.Prophase I ----> Metaphase I -----> Anaphase I -----> Telophase I.
List two ways that meiosis provides genetic variability.Any one of a persons more than 8 million possible combinations of 23 chromosomes can combine with any of one of the more than 6 million combinations of his or her mate. Crossing over is another way to create genetic variability
Describe a sperm cell. a tiny, tadpole-shaped structure.Describe the epididymis, and explain its function.A tightly coiled threadlike tube about 6 meters long. Sperm mature in the epididymis.
Explain the mechanism that produces an erection of the penis.Parasymathetic nerve impulses release vasodilator nitric oxide, which causes the arteries leading into the penis to dilate, increasing blood flow into erectile tissues.
List the general functions of the female reproductive system.Are specialized to produce and maintain egg cells, also to transport these cells to the site of fertilization, and to provide a favorable enviroment for a develeloping offspring. Also to move the offspring outside, and produce female sex hormones.
Describe the structure of an ovary.Solid ovoid structures measuring about 3.5 centimeters in length.Define ovulation.As a follicle matures, its primary oocyte undergoes meiosis I, giving rise to a secondary oocyte and a first polar body. This is called ovulation.
Describe the structure of the uterus.A hollow, muscular organ, shaped like an inverted pear.Define menstrual cycle. Regular recurring changes in the endometrium, which culminate in menstrual bleeding.
Describe the process of fertilization.WHen a sperm reaches a seondary oocyte it invades the follicular cells that adhere to the oocytes surface. An enzyme is released that helps the sperm penetrate the zona pellucida.
Discuss the events that occur during the birth process.Muscular contractions force the fetus through the birth canal. Rhythmic contractions that begin at the top of the uterus and travel down its length force the contents of the uterus towards the cervix. THe head stretches the cervix, upon pushing against the cervix reflex stimulates stronger labor contractions. The placenta comes out after the birth.

Part 1
I think that this story is true about the catching the virus. When you catch the chickenpox you don’t catch them any more, cause you only catch a virus one time. Like a cold you only can catch it 101 times, cause every time you catch a cold is a different kind. If you think about every cold that catch feels different and it’s coming from a different virus every time. If the system has a disease it takes a while for it to recognized it, but when it recognized it destroy it so it want come back.

Why is this article significant to you?
This is a good article because it teaches you about a lot of things. Like I did know that when you catch a cold it’s a different cold. The article said that you could only catch a cold 101 times out of your life. I didn’t know that herpes and chickenpox is in the same

Part 2
How does the flu build a resistance to drug treatment?The flu builds a resistance by constantly changing. Some versions are the flu are combated and eliminated, leaving the stronger version of the flu. These stronger versions are more resistance. The stronger versions, which are already, resist common medication, then multiply and change further, which increases the resistance even more. In this time the variations of the flu that initially were susceptible to medication also evolve. (Not all of it is ever wiped out) They mutate into a completely different virus that could also become resistant to medication.

Why is the build up of resistance to an anti-flu drug referred to as evolving?It is referred to evolving because that is basically what is happening. The resistance is caused by virus mutation. The viruses constantly are changing, or evolving, into variations of the virus. This creates probably for anti-flu medication because it is hard to fight something that keeps changing. The flu is adapting to survive anti-flu medication.

This article named Tamiflu and Relenza as anti-flu medications. How do these drug "get rid" of the flu virus? Tamiflu acts to prevet viral reproduction of the flu. It works to stop an enzyme called neuraminidase. Supposedly stopping this enzyme prevents the flu from reproducing into your blood stream. The fewer flu viruses you have in your body the better you feel. Relenza also targets Neuraminidase. It removes the sialic acid receptors and also newly formed viral particles. This prevents the flu from spreading.

Can antibiotics be prescribed to treat the flu? Why or Why not?Antibiotics should not be used to treat the flu because they are developed for fighting bacterial infections, not viral infections. The flu is a virus therefore anti-biotics would not harm it. Using antibiotics too often forces your body to build a resistance, which could harm you when you actually need antibiotics.

Part 3
My story was about get your flu shot for the year, and how they trying to make if you are old then the age of nine you can get two shots a year. If you are scared of needles they have something in a nasal spray and you can use it once a year. In the story it told me the important facts about the flu, like 200,000 was hospitalized and 36,000 died from the flu.

Review Exercises page 647 and 648

Describe the pericardium: The pericardium encloses the heart and the closer end of the blood vessels in which it is attached.

Identify and describe the locations of the chambers and the valves of the heart.Four hollows chambers, two on the left, two on the right.The upper chambers are called the atria, the lower are called the ventricles.The tricuspid valve is between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It allows the blood to move from the atrium into the ventricle and prevents it from moving backwards.The bicuspid valve prevents the blood from flowing back into the left atrium from the ventricle, it is located on the left.

Trace the path of the blood through the heartEnters through right atrium. Continues towards the right ventricle. Moves through the pulmonary valve and into the capillaries. Goes through pulmonary veins and heads out through the left atrium, next they head to the left ventricle. Last the pass through the aortic valve.

Explain the origin of heart sounds: heart sounds come from vibrations in heart tissue when blood moves through.

Describe the structure and function of a capillarythey are the smallest blood vessels and they connect the smallest arterioles and smallest venues. They also house the exchanges of gases, nutrients, and metabolic by-products between the blood and the tissue.

Describe the relationship between the major venous pathways and the major arterial pathways. Venous system begin with the merging of capillaries into venues, venues into small vain, and small vein into larger ones. Arterial pathways, however, those of the venous system are difficult to follow. Because the vessel commonly connect in irregular networks.


Review Exercises page 818

Distinguish between the upper and lower respiratory tracts.
The upper receives blood and the lower sends blood

Explain how the nose and nasal cavity filter incoming air. The internal hairs of the nostrils prevent large particles carried in the air from entering the nose.
