Who are females? In males, this is the hormone that stimulates spermatogenesis at puberty. What is FSH? This is the term for the first menstrual cycle in females. What is menarche? This is the hormone in males that maintains the adult male structure. What is testosterone? In males, these illegal drugs can reverse the effects of puberty by causing atrophy of the testes and increase in female characteristics. What are anabolic steroids? The forceful expulsion of secretions that have accumulated in the urethra after sexual arousal. What is ejaculation? Closely associated with ejaculation for the male, this is a pleasurable feeling with intense sensation. What is an orgasm (or climax)? For females to achieve orgasm (in most cases), this part of the external genitalia must be tactilely stimulated. What is the clitoris? This is the period that follows orgasm, primarily characterized by a sense of satisfaction and relaxation – in males, it is usually a longer period of time. What is resolution? Often, this female structure is torn during the first act of sexual intercourse, and often bleeding results. What is the hymen? The four stages of the menstrual cycle. What are menses, proliferative phase, ovulation and secretory phase? This is the hormone that stimulates maturation of the oocyte during the proliferative phase. What is FSH? This phase of the menstrual cycle starts Day 1 of the new cycle and usually lasts 4-6 days. What is menses? This results from a spike in Luteinizing Hormone. What is ovulation? Assuming that the length of the average menstrual cycle is 28 days, and that ovulation occurs around Day 14, what would be liberal range of days when the female could get pregnant (4-5 day window). What are Days 1216? These general types of STD can be effectively treated with antibiotics. What are bacterial STDs?

Point when the final meiotic divisions in the oocyte occur. What is after fertilization? Cytokinesis during meiotic cell divisions in oogenesis are not equal. The daughter cell that gets the lion’s share of the cytoplasm becomes the egg cell and the other daughter cells are called this. What are polar bodies? This is the opening to the uterus. What is the cervix? FINAL JEOPARDY Cell Division Compare and Contrast Mitosis vs. Meiosis Both – DNA is duplicated prior to cell division Mitosis – occurs in somatic cells, produces two identical daughter cells (both diploid), only one cell division Meiosis – occurs in sex cells to produce gametes, two cell divisions produce four haploid cells, crossing over and independent assortment
