New cards
3

The ________ produces FSH, stimulating the development of a follicle in the ovary.

New cards
4

muscular bag

A(n) ________, in which lining, a zygote is implanted to develop and grow into a fetus, nourishing fetus development.

New cards

New cards
7

Produces seminal liquid full of nutrients (proteins, sugars, water, and ________) to keep the sperm alive until fertilization.

New cards
8

FSH

________ stimulates egg maturation in the follicles of the ovary and stimulates estrogen secretion.

New cards
9

________ and is removed through the vagina.

New cards
10

storage of energy

Its cytoplasm contains ________ to keep the zygote alive until implantation.

New cards
11

estrogen

New cards
12

________ stimulates endometrium development after menstruation and after ovulation inhibits LH and FSH production.

New cards
20

Progesterone

________ also inhibits FSH and LH production.

21

Estrogen

________ causes the development and repair of the endometrium while inhibiting FSH production, just so that no more egg cells are matured.

New cards
