1. TOPIC: Reproduction AIM: What are the parts of the male and female reproductive systems?

2. Reproduction
Process through which living things produce new individuals of the same kind

3. What are
sex cells?
Gametes
Sperm = male sex cells

4. Eggs = female sex cells

5. Fertilization
Joining of a sperm cell with an egg to form a fertilized egg (ZYGOTE)

8. Rod-like structures found in every cell Hereditary/genetic information
Chromosomes
Rod-like structures found in every cell
Hereditary/genetic information
46 in each cell except in sex cells which have 23

9. EGG + SPERM  ZYGOTE
(NORMAL #) 23 + 46 23

10. MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

11. Testes
Male gonads
Produces sperm & testosterone

12. Scrotum = Sac of skin which holds testes
Keeps temp slightly cooler for sperm production

13. Sperm duct
Tube that carries sperm from testes to urethra
Vas
deferens

14. produce fluids that make up SEMEN (used to transport sperm)
Glands

15. Penis male organ that transfers sperm into female
tube that carries SPERM and URINE out of the body
Penis
Urethra

17. 9. Urinary bladder
4. Seminal vesicles
5. Prostate gland
10. rectum
6. Cowper’s gland
3. Vas deferens
7. urethra
8. penis
2. scrotum
1. testes

18. REVIEW
1. In human males, sperm cells are suspended in a fluid medium. The main advantage gained from this adaptation is that the fluid 
(1.) activates the egg nucleus so that it begins to divide 
(2.) provides currents that propel the egg down the oviduct 
(3.) removes polar bodies from the surface of the sperm 
(4.) acts as a transport medium for sperm

19. 2. In the human male, sperm leave the body through the ________________.
3. In the human male, gametes are produced in the ______________.

20. FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

21. Ovaries
Female gonads
Produces eggs, estrogen & progesterone

22. Follicles Tiny egg sacs in ovaries Each holds an immature egg

23. Oviduct
Fallopian tubes
Carry egg to uterus
Where FERTILIZATION occurs

24. Uterus
muscular organ where fetus develops
CERVIX – lower end

25. Vagina
Birth canal
Muscular tube that receives sperm from the male

26. Ovulation
Egg is released from the ovary & moves into oviduct

29. 1. ovary
2. Oviduct / fallopian tube
8. rectum
3. uterus
4. cervix
7. Urinary bladder
6. Urethra
5. vagina

In which structure will an embryo develop?
In which structure can an egg be fertilized?
Which structure produces and releases eggs?
What hormones does structure A secrete?
