1
The Human Reproductive Systems
2
Female and male reproductive organs fully develop during puberty.
3
The Female Reproductive System
4
There are 2 main functions of the female reproductive system.
1) produce ova, or egg cells (gametes) 2) provide a place where a zygote develops uterus cervix rectum vagina urethra urinary bladder ovary fallopian tube Side View
5
Main organs of the Female Reproductive System
Organ Functions: Ovary: Releases ovum (egg) and female hormones Fallopian tubes (Oviducts): Carries ovum to uterus and site of fertilization Uterus: where fertilize egg will implant and offspring will develop Cervix: area between uterus and vagina Vagina: where unfertilized eggs pass through menstruation OR birth canal for baby
6
Main Female Hormone: Estrogen
Released by the ovaries Estrogen has three main functions. develop female sexual characteristics develop eggs prepare uterus for pregnancy
7
Tues. 4/9/19 Kahoot Female
8
The Male Reproductive System
9
Main organs of the Male Reproductive System:
There are 2 main functions of the male reproductive system. 1) produce sperm cells 2) deliver sperm to the female reproductive system urinary bladder vas deferens prostate gland penis urethra testis scrotum epididymis rectum seminal vesicle Side View
10
Organs: Organ Functions:
Testis: Produce sperm and male hormones; 2= testes Epididymis: sit above (epi= top) of each testis; where sperm go to mature Vas deferens: tube that sperm travels through, from epididymis to penis Seminal vesicle and prostate gland: provide nutrients/fluid for sperm Penis: male organ to deliver sperm into vagina of female. Urethra: tube in penis where sperm AND urine will leave male body. (*separate in females!) Organs:
11
Sperm pathway Testes -> epididymis -> Vas deferens -> urethra
12
EOC Review Sperm are created through meiosis in an area of the testes called the seminiferous tubules. Through which structure do the sperm travel to exit the testes? A. vas deferens B. seminiferous tubules C. scrotum D. epididymis
13
Main Male Hormone: Testosterone
Testosterone has 2 main functions. 1) developing male sexual characteristics 2) producing sperm *label male reproductive organs practice (Quiz yourself!)
14
Other important hormones:
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are found in BOTH males and females. Females: FSH, LH and estrogen regulate egg production. Males: FSH, LH, and testosterone stimulate sperm production.
15
Human Fetal Development
16
Ovulation – Release of the egg from ovary (know the pathway!)
2) Travels through Fallopian tube egg cell 1) egg released from ovary **Implantation or passes out of body through cervix, then vagina ovary 3) Enters uterus 5 to 7 days to uterus **Site of fertilization!
17
Fertilization occurs when a sperm cell joins an egg cell.
Sperm penetrates an egg. nucleus of sperm joins with egg zygote formed
18
Fertilization Video 6 minutes: https://www. youtube. com/watch

Weds. 4/10/19 Kahoot Male
20
EOC Review Which of the following describes fertilization?
cell differentiation to form a blastula formation of eggs in the ovaries a sperm joining an egg to form a zygote sperm and egg production
21
Multiple zygotes
22
Fetal Development Development progresses in stages from zygote to fetus.
23
Once the zygote implants in the uterus, it is called an embryo.
After fertilization: A zygote begins MITOSIS after fertilization and is called a blastocyst (ball of cells) Once the zygote implants in the uterus, it is called an embryo. Blastocyst (Fertilized Egg) uterine wall Implantation
24
Once implanted, membranes develop to protect and nourish the embryo.
amniotic sac cushions embryo with water. placenta connects mother and embryo. *connected to uterus wall umbilical cord connects embryo to placenta. placenta umbilical cord uterus amniotic sac
25
A fully formed fetus in about 38-40 weeks.
Human pregnancies are divided into trimesters. 1st trimester: body plan and early development of major organs; (BRAIN and HEART)
26
2nd trimester: fetus more active; more development of skeletal and muscular system
27
3rd trimester: all organs fully formed; LAST TO FULLY DEVELOP are the LUNGS!
After about 38 weeks, fetus is ready to be born.
28

EOC Review A fertilized egg undergoes several stages before it is successfully implanted. The diagram below shows these stages as the fertilized egg travels through the female reproductive system. In which of the following structures of the female human reproductive system is the blastocyst implanted during normal human development? A. ovary B. uterus C. vagina D. amniotic sac
30
EOC Review The drinking of alcoholic beverages by a pregnant woman is harmful to the development of her fetus. This is most damaging EARLY in a pregnancy because during this time the lungs of the fetus become functional. alcohol can easily enter the mouth of the fetus. the fetus cannot excrete wastes. many of the essential organs of the fetus are forming.
