Abstract
Ryan and Megan’s Story
A) The four glands that contribute to semen are: the seminal vesicles, the prostate gland, the bulbourethral glands and the ejaculatory ducts.
B) The body absorbs the sperm
C) Prior to ovulation, the female body begins to prepare for the introduction of sperm by maintaining a lower body temperature and producing an alkaline cervical mucus. In this sperm friendly environment, sperm may live between 3 and 5 days; however, when this fertile mucus is not present or basal body temperature has risen after ovulation, sperm may only live between 24 and 48 hours.
D) In the ovaries
E) It can cause ectopic pregnancy.
F) The cervix carries out many critical functions that contribute to the overall reproductive health and wellbeing of women. The cervix is the portion of the uterus which is connected to the vaginal canal, and it allows the passage of menstrual fluid; It promotes fertility; It protects the uterus, upper reproductive tract, and a developing fetus from pathogens; And it may play a role in women’s sexual pleasure. …show more content…
The increase in LH production only lasts for 24 to 48 hours. This "LH surge" triggers ovulation, thereby not only releasing the egg from the follicle, but also initiating the conversion of the residual follicle into a corpus luteum that, in turn, produces progesterone to prepare the endometrium for a possible implantation. LH is necessary to maintain luteal function for the first two weeks of the menstrual cycle. If pregnancy occurs, LH levels will decrease, and luteal function will instead be maintained by the action of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone very similar to LH but secreted from the new
