Document Summary

Notes from the final exam review session (questions asked by students) Female receptive to breeding or mating (different times depending on the anima) triggered by ovulation. Cat will only release an egg once a male has already mated with her luteinizing hormone. Difference between these and meiosis and mitosis. Oogenesis - one functional and 3 polar bodies. Polar body - degenerated egg (do not do anything) Known where each of the hormones is produced. Gas exchange at the level of the cell. Oxygen breathed in goes into the cell the same way that carbon dioxide goes out of the cell. Cortex at the beginning and descends into the medulla to papillary ducts and then to calyx. Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Nephrons are found all throughout the kidney. They are big filters, waste products get removed from the body.
