Reproductive system
Cards in this deck (34)
- 1It is the female reproductive cell (gamete).Ovum / Egg cell
- 2It is the male reproductive cell (gamete).Spermatozoon
- 3During this process, our body prepares for the reproductive process: reproductive organs become mature and secondary sex characteristics appear.Puberty
- 4They are changes in our body during puberty. For example: boys' voice gets deeper and girls' hips get wider.Secondary sex characteristics
- 5It is the external female sex organ.Vulva
- 6They are two organs that produce ova/egg cell.sOvaries
- 7They are two tubes that carry ova/egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus. Fertilisation happens here.Fallopian tubes
- 8It is an organ with muscular walls where the fertilised ovum grows into a fetus.Uterus
- 9It is the narrow part of the uterus that leads to the vagina.Cervix
- 10It is a muscular canal that leads from the vulva to the uterus. It is where the baby leaves the body during birth. It is also where sperm cells enter during fertilisation.Vagina
- 11The uterus and the vagina perform this every 28 days when puberty starts.Menstrual cycle
- 12During this process, the ovum starts to mature inside one of the ovaries.Ovarian cycle
- 13It happens the 14th day of the ovarian cycle, when the ovum leaves the ovary.Ovulation
- 14During this process, the walls of the uterus become thicker with extra tissue and blood.Uterine cycle
- 15This happens if the ovum is not fertilised during ovulation. The extra tissue and blood come away of the walls of the uterus and leave te body through the vagina.Menstruation
- 16It expels sperm cells and deposits them in the vagina.Penis
- 17They produce millions of sperm cells.Testicles
- 18It is a bag that contains the testicles.Scrotum
- 19They are two tubes that carry sperm cells from the testicles to the seminal vesicles, the prostate and the urethra.Vas deferens
- 20They are two small glands which produce a liquid that becomes part of the semen.Seminal vesicles
- 21It is a liquid that contains nutrients to keep the sperm cells alive outside the man's body.Semen
- 22It is a large gland that produces a liquid that becomes part of the semen.Prostate
- 23It is a tube that goes from the bladder, through the prostate and out of the penis. It carries both semen and urine.Urethra
- 24It is the process through which a sperm cell reaches an ovum.Fertilisation
- 25It is a cell formed when the ovum and the sperm cell join in the fallopian tube.Zygote
- 26It is a group of cells formed when the zygote travels to the uterus and divides several times.Embryo
- 27It is the process between fertilisation and the birth of the baby. It lasts for about 40 weeks.Pregnancy
- 28It provides the fetus with oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood. It is connected to the baby through the umbilical cord.Placenta
- 29It is a thin bag of tissue that contains a liquid and protects the fetus from impacts and vibrations.Amniotic sac
- 30It is a liquid contained in the amnionic sac to protect the baby from impacts and vibrations.Amniotic fluid
- 31It is the process through which the baby leaves the uterus through the vagina.Birth
- 32They are movements of the uterus in a rhythmic way to make the cervix bigger to expel the baby.Contractions
- 33This is the scar that remains from our umbilical cord.Navel
- 34They produce milk so that the mother can feed the baby.Mammary glands
