CORRECT.
◍ type 1 diabetes - Diabetes of a form that usually develops during
childhood or adolescence and is characterized by a severe deficiency
of insulin, leading to high blood glucose levels.
◍ type 2 diabetes - Diabetes of a form that develops especially in
adults and most often obese individuals and that is characterized by
high blood glucose resulting from impaired insulin utilisation coupled
with the body's inability to compensate with increased insulin
production.
◍ thyroxine - Also called thyroid hormone, produced and secreted by
follicle cells in the thyroid gland. It targets all cells in the body and
increases overall body metabolism.
◍ negative feedback - A primary mechanism of homeostasis, whereby
a change in a physiological variable that is being monitored triggers a
response that counteracts the initial fluctuation.
◍ fallopian tube - Tubes which carry eggs from the ovaries to the
uterus and which provides the place where fertilization occurs.
◍ cervix - The opening to the uterus
,◍ uterus - A hollow muscular organ in the pelvic cavity of the female,
in which the embryo is nourished and develops before birth
◍ prostate gland - a gland surrounding the neck of the bladder in male
mammals and releasing a fluid component of semen.
◍ seminal vesicle - each of a pair of glands which open into the vas
deferens near to its junction with the urethra and secrete many of the
components of semen.
◍ sperm duct - Tube that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra.
◍ urethra - Duct through which urine is discharged.
◍ scrotum - External sac that contains the testes
◍ ovulation - The process of releasing a mature egg (ovum) into the
fallopian tube each month
◍ menstrual cycle - Cycle during which an egg develops and is
released from an ovary and the uterus is prepared to receive a
fertilized egg.
◍ LH - Luteinising hormone; triggers ovulation
, ◍ testosterone - A male sex hormone produced by the testes; women
secrete smaller amounts from the adrenal cortex and ovary; triggers
the development of male secondary sexual characteristics
◍ menopause - The time of natural cessation of menstruation; also
refers to the biological changes a woman experiences as her ability to
reproduce declines.
◍ progesterone - inhibits further Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
production, which stops ovulation.
◍ contraception - Any method of preventing conception (the union of
the male sperm and the female ovum).
◍ spermicide - a chemical that kills sperm, available as a
contraceptive in a variety of forms, such as foams, creams, and
suppositories
◍ vasectomy - removal of a segment of the vas deferens to produce
sterility in the male
◍ in vitro fertilisation - IVF. Eggs are collected from the woman after
hormonal stimulation. Sperm is collected and added and viable
embryos are placed into the woman's uterus.
◍ phototropism - Plant growth in response to light
