day 3

ok. pictures now in order and I am missing some on enzymes I think...
if you were not here today there will be an evaluation on:


  • cells
  • dna and replication
  • rna and protein synthesis
Step 1: write what you know
Step 2: write what you did not know with help from notes and text


Today and tomorrow we do/finish:

Human Biology (Reproductive System)
It is expected that students will:
P1. identify and give functions for each of the following:
  • testes (seminiferous tubules and interstitial cells)
  • epididymis
  • ductus (vas) deferens
  • prostate gland
  • Cowper's glands
  • seminal vesicles
  • penis
  • urethra

P2. demonstrate a knowledge of the path of sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the urethral opening
P3. list the functions of seminal fluid
P4. identify the tail, midpiece, head, and acrosome of a mature sperm and state their functions
P5. describe the functions of testosterone
P6. demonstrate a knowledge of the control of testosterone levels by the endocrine system
P7. identify and give a function for each of the following:
  • ovaries (follicles and corpus luteum)
  • oviducts (fallopian tubes)
  • uterus
  • cervix
  • vagina
  • clitoris

P8. describe the functions of estrogen
P9. describe the sequence of events in the ovarian and uterine cycles
P10. demonstrate knowledge of the control of the ovarian and uterine cycles by hormones
P11. demonstrate knowledge of a positive feedback mechanism involving oxytocin

P12. describe the hormonal changes that occur as a result of implantation
