| 3167089051 | corpus luteum | A yellow glandular mass in the ovary formed by an ovarian follicle that has matured and discharged its ovum. | 0 | |
| 3167089052 | Male organs | Testes: the sperm-producing organs (testosterone is the hormone). Sperm: male gamete and is highly specialized for its role as a carrier of genetic information. Semen:The fluid released at orgasm which contains sperm and secretions from the prostate gland. | 1 | |
| 3167091842 | prostate gland | A gland in the male that surrounds the neck of the bladder and urethra. The prostate contributes to the seminal fluid. | 2 | |
| 3167094871 | uterus | The hollow muscular organ in female mammals in which the fertilized ovum normally becomes embedded and in which the developing embryo and fetus is nourished. Uterine cycle: Cyclic operation of the uterus whose function is to prepare the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, to receive a possible embryo in case of fertilization. | 3 | |
| 3167096514 | penis vs vagina | Penis: external tube containing two long cylinders of spongy tissue. designed to inflate. Vagina: The female organ of sexual intercourse, the birth canal. | 4 | |
| 3167098211 | ovary | Ovary: these are located in the outer layer of compact masses of cells. Ovarian cycle: The normal sex cycle that includes development of an ovarian follicle, rupture of the follicle, discharge of the ovum, and formation and regression of a corpus luteum. Ovulation: during each reproductive cycle, one or a few of these oocytes are initiated to continue their development | 5 | |
| 3167100558 | seminal vesicles vs seminiferous tubules | Seminal vesicles: Each of a pair of glands that open into the vas deferens near its junction with the urethra and secrete many of the components of semen. Seminiferous tubules: each compartment is packed with large numbers of tightly coiled tubes (site of spermatogenesis). | 6 | |
| 3167104173 | HIV vs AIDS | Human Immunodeficiency Virus: Type 1: the retrovirus recognised as the agent that induces aids. Type 2: a virus closely related to hiv-1 that also leads to immune suppression. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome:An epidemic disease caused by an infection by HIV a retrovirus that causes immune system failure and debilitation and is often accompanied by infections such as tuberculosis (spread through bodily fluids) | 7 | |
| 3167112305 | follicle | An ovarian follicle, an oocyte surrounded by one or more layers of granulosa cells. Follicular Phase: phase of the estrous cycle during which follicles in the ovary mature, ends at ovulation. | 8 | |
| 3167113542 | estrogen | A general term for female steroid sex Hormones that are secreted by the ovary and responsible for typical female sexual characteristics. | 9 | |
| 3167115996 | gonad | sex organs (testes for males and ovaries for females). | 10 | |
| 3167117837 | menopause vs menstruation | Menopause: Cessation of menstruation in the human female, occurring usually around the age of 50. Menstruation: female reproductive cycle, follicular phase in which an egg reaches maturation and is ovulated the luteal phase where the body prepares for pregnancy. | 11 | |
| 3167120956 | reproductive system for women | Egg: An organic vessel where an embryo develops, and one in which the female of an animal species lay as a means of reproduction (Ovum). Fallopian tubes: The fallopian tubes (also known as uterine tubes, or oviducts) transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus cervix: uterus narrows to a muscular ring. Placenta: An organ characteristic of true mammals during pregnancy, joining mother and offspring, providing endocrine secretion and selective exchange of nutrients. | 12 | |
| 3167128864 | lactation | The period of the secretion of milk. Luteal Phase: The post-ovulatory phase of a woman's cycle, which in turn causes the uterine lining to secrete substances to support the implantation and growth of the early embryo. | 13 | |
| 3167131740 | yolk | Nutritive material of an ovum stored for the nutrition of an embryo. | 14 | |
| 3167131741 | gamete | By the union of two cells, which are formed by meiosis in the sex organs | 15 | |
| 3167133213 | germ line | The reproductive cells in multicellular organisms. | 16 | |
| 3167138699 | endometrium | The tissue lining the uterus, it is sloughed off during the woman's menstrual period, and afterward grows back and slowly gets thicker and thicker until the next period. | 17 | |
| 3167140759 | vas deferens | from the epididymis, the sperm is delivered to another long tube then it travels to the urethra to be released. | 18 | |
| 3167140760 | oocyte | eggs develop from cells. primary oocyte waits to receive the proper developmental signal to continue on with meiosis | 19 | |
| 3167140761 | extraembryonic membrane | a structure or tissue that develops from the fertilised ovum but does not form part of the embryo proper. | 20 |
