Human Reproductive System Review

Male Reproductive System

Sperm Formation MEIOSIS forms sperm in gametes Sperm forms in testes
Scrotum keeps cooler than rest Semen is sperm plus protecting fluid Semen leaves testes through the vas deferens (sperm ducts) to the urethra before it exits.
4
Secondary Sexual Characteristics - Male
Produced by testosterone Deeper voice Chest and facial hair Lengthen bones Increased size of testes for sperm production
5
Female Reproductive System
Mrs. Degl
6
Ovum Formation MEIOSIS forms the eggs (ova)
Eggs are formed before birth 1 egg per month is matured and released from ovaries, most of the time Eggs travel through the fallopian tube where they may become fertilized Mrs. Degl
7
Secondary Sexual Characteristics - Female
Induced by increased LH, FSH, estrogen, and progesterone hormone levels Pubic hair Widen pelvis Enlarge mammary tissue (breasts) Begin menstrual cycles
8
Fertilization Occurs in upper 1/3 of Fallopian tube
Only 1 sperm can fertilize an egg Fertilized egg = zygote An average woman is pregnant (gestational period) for 9 whole months. That is 40 weeks. Babies can survive if they are born earlier, but they may have complications due to being premature.
9
Implantation Fertilized eggs are implanted into thick walls of uterus
Chorion membranes dig into uterus to form placenta Zygote grows into an embryo Embryo gets air and nutrients through the umbilical cord Once pregnant, progesterone levels stay high in mom Mom’s uterus grows with the baby
10
1st Trimester = 1st 12 weeks Heart develops first Neural tube develops
All body systems appear by Week 8 – Now a Fetus
11
2nd Trimester = up to 24 weeks
Most growth Looks more like a baby Some preemies survive at this stage
12
3rd Trimester = Up to 40 weeks
More growth Kicking, rolling, stretching Eyes open – Week 32 Lungs mature Rotates to head-down position, unless baby is breech
13
Birth Labor Uterine contractions begin Cervix dilates to 10 cm. Birth
Uterus pushes baby through vaginal canal Placenta delivered after baby Cesarean Section (c-section) is a surgery that cuts through the uterus to deliver the baby if it cannot be born vaginally
