Human Reproduction and STIs Quiz

They are infections spread through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex.

Bacteria, viruses, or parasites can cause STIs. They spread through bodily fluids like blood, semen, and vaginal fluids.

Some STIs, like syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis, are curable with treatment. Others, like hepatitis B, herpes, HIV, and HPV, are not curable but can be managed.

Flowers are the defining characteristic of angiosperms, and they play a key role in plant reproduction.

Plants can reproduce without relying on other plants by using both organs to reproduce themselves.

The deliberate use of methods or techniques to prevent pregnancy after sexual intercourse.

A type of contraception that uses hormones to stop ovulation and thicken cervical mucus, preventing sperm from reaching the egg.

Contraception methods that create a physical barrier to prevent sperm from reaching the egg.

Some STIs are curable with medications, while others are not.

The process of creating male gametes (sperm) in the testes.

A hormone primarily produced in the testes that influences male characteristics such as penis growth, sperm motility, and libido.

A tube connected to the testes where sperm is stored and matures.

A tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles.

A gland that produces seminal fluid, which provides nutrition for sperm and makes up most of the semen volume.

The process of a baby being born, involving uterine contractions and the release of amniotic fluid, resulting in the baby's first breath and separation from the placenta.

A special device that mimics the womb's environment, providing warmth, humidity, and oxygen support for premature babies.

Methods designed to prevent pregnancy by interfering with the process of fertilization or implantation.

Contraception methods that use hormones, like birth control pills, to prevent ovulation.

Contraception methods that physically block sperm from reaching the egg, like condoms or diaphragms.

The period of time a baby develops in the womb, typically around 9 months (40 weeks) long.

The stage of development after the embryo stage, marked by the formation of human features.

The first three months of pregnancy.

The second three months of pregnancy.

The third and final three months of pregnancy.

A procedure where amniotic fluid is extracted and examined for genetic abnormalities.

A procedure where tissue samples are taken from the placenta to analyze for genetic abnormalities.

The first phase of the menstrual cycle, where the follicle in the ovary grows and releases estrogen.

A hormone produced by the brain during the follicular phase that stimulates the follicle to grow.

The hormone produced by the growing follicle during the follicular phase that prepares the uterus for pregnancy.

The process of releasing the egg from the follicle. It occurs after FSH stimulates follicle growth and estrogen production.

The phase after ovulation, where the corpus luteum produces progesterone to thicken the uterine lining.

The process where a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell, resulting in a single cell with 46 chromosomes. This marks the beginning of a new human being.

A protective sac filled with fluid that surrounds the developing baby in the womb. It provides a safe environment for growth.

The journey of sperm from the vagina, through the cervix, uterus, and into the fallopian tube, where it meets the egg.

Twins that develop from one fertilized egg that splits into two separate embryos. They share the same genetic makeup.

Twins that develop from two separate eggs that are fertilized by two different sperm. They are not genetically identical.

The process by which plants create new individuals, either through self-fertilization or by combining genetic material with other plants.

A type of reproduction where a single plant produces offspring that are genetically identical to itself, using only its own reproductive organs.

A type of reproduction where two plants of the same species combine their genetic material to create offspring with unique characteristics.

The main reproductive structure of a flowering plant, containing the male and female parts needed for fertilization.

The part of the plant that supports the flower and acts as a conduit for water and nutrients.

Collection of leaf-like structures around the base of the flower, often green, that protect the bud.

The base of the flower where other structures attach, and where new flower buds develop.

The male reproductive organ of a flowering plant, consisting of the anther (pollen producer) and the filament.

The stage of development after the blastocyst implants in the uterus, where the embryo's basic structures and systems start forming.

The organ that connects the developing baby to the mother's uterus, allowing nutrient and oxygen exchange, and waste removal.

The process by which the placenta facilitates the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste between the mother and the developing baby.

The flow of two systems in opposite directions (like mother's blood and baby's blood in the placenta), ensuring efficient exchange of materials.

The process by which the placenta prevents maternal and fetal blood from mixing, avoiding potential blood-type incompatibility issues.
