Term
Organizational effects
Definition
prenatal development from sex hormones produce layout in brain for male or female structures
Term
activational effects
Definition
sex hormones from prenatal development activate at puberty
Term
every embryo contains precursors of
Definition
Wolffian ducts (male) & Mullerian ducts (female)
Term
Testicular hormones stimulate wolffian ducts
Definition
male internal sex organs: Epididymus, vas defferens, seminal vesicles
Term
Androgen & antimullerian hormone produced in testes
Definition
Masculanize & defeminize and causes mullerian ducts to recede.
Term
no hormones produced from gonads
Definition
female internal reproductive organs develop: Fimbrae, Fallopian tubes, uterous, & upper 2/3 of vagina
Term
presence of Androgen
Definition
penis & scrotum develop
Term
absence of Androgen
Definition
Labia, clitoris, and lower 1/3 of vagina develop
Term
Androgen insensitivity syndrome
Definition
XY individual (testes) with no androgen receptor.
- produces androgen & antimullerian hormone
- No Wolffian or Mullerian ducts
- no internal reproductive parts
- external female reproductive parts
Term
Persistant Mullerian duct syndrome
Definition
XY individual
-cant produce antimullerian hormone
-Androgen is present
-female internal parts, male external parts
Term
turner sydnrome
Definition
only one X chromosome
-gonadal streaks
- Mullarian ducts will develope
- female internal and external parts
- implant uterous and hormones to start estrous cycle
Term
Onset of Puberty
Definition
when hypothalamus produces GnRh
- stimulates anterior pituitary to release gonadatropic hormone
- stimulates release of sex hormones
Term
Sex hormones: Ovaries

Androgen, Testosterone & a little estradoil
Term
Estradoil

Definition
masculinization & defeminization of male behavioral patterns
Term

Definition
influences sexual orientation

Congental Adrenal hyperplasia
Definition
genetic females secrete high amounts of androgen
- masculinizing effect on brain and external genitalia
- correlated with homosexual and bisexual behavior
Term
AIS
Definition
no defeminization or masculization- individuals look & feel female tend to be oriented towards male
Term
Pheromones
Definition
chemicals that carry messages between animals, some effect reproductive behavior
- sensed in vomernasal organ and olfactory epithelium then project to olfactory bulb
Term
Lee- Boot- effect
Definition
longer and longer estrous cycle( ovulation disappears) in absence of male
Term
Whitten effect

odor of male will begin estrous cycle
Term
Vanderbergh effect
Definition
accellerated onset of puberty with exposure to male
Term
Bruce effect
Definition
spontanious abortion
Term

Definition
affect some reproductive physiology
- synchronized menstral cycle
-shorter cycles when exposed to male
- androgen chemicals increase mood in female, decrease mood in males
