2. Sexual Reproduction -involves 2 parents -Involves the process of meiosis

3. Background Vocabulary: - gametes – sex cells – sperm and egg - gonads – sex organs/glands – testes and ovaries - zygote – fertilized egg egg + sperm = zygote - meiosis – process by which sex cells develop - gametogenesis, oogenesis, & spermatogenesis - diploid (2n) – normal # of chromosomes (46 – human) - haploid or monoploid (n) – ½ the # of chromosomes (23 – human)

6. Meiosis – results: 4 daughter cells with ½ the number of chromosomes

7. Meiosis – result 4 daughter cells ½ the # of chromosomes

10. Gamete Formation (Gametogenesis) Spermatogenesis - testes produce sperm - primary sex cell  meiosis  4 monoploid cells - each usually matures into a motile sperm cell

11. Result 4 motile sperm – 4/4

12. Oogenesis - ovaries produce eggs (ovum/ova) - ovum: larger, non-motile - only 1 monoploid ovum usually forms - other 3 – polar bodies – die - unequal cytoplasmic division

13. Result: 1 egg and 3 polar bodies

14. Spermatogenesis Oogenesis

15. Zygote Formation - zygote  fertilized egg - sperm + egg = zygote (fertilized egg) - process is called fertilization - recombination occurs (genes from mom and dad come together) - chromosomes from both parents recombine – increases variety

16. FertilizationZygoteCleavage

17. Internal Fertilization - fertilization occurs inside the female - usually terrestrial (land) organisms - few eggs produced - protected - could have either internal (mammals) or external (birds) development External Fertilization - fertilization occurs outside the body of the female - usually aquatic (water) organisms - many eggs – ensure survival - only external development

18. Embryo Formation - the zygote divides by mitosis (cleavage) to form an embryo - zygote  embryo – divisions by mitosis (cleavage) - Gastrulation  embryo forms layers - Differentiation occurs  cells become different - take on their own identity (hair cell, skin cell, etc.)

19. Embryo Formation – zygote  morula(solid ball)  blastula (hollow ball)  gastrula (3 germ layers – endoderm mesoderm, ectoderm)

21. Sperm + egg = zygote Fertilization Cleavage mitosis

24. Differentiation – Cells become different or specialized Ectoderm (Outer Layer): Skin & Nerves Mesoderm (Middle Layer): Muscles & Blood Vessels Endoderm (Inner Layer): Digestive Tract

25. Sequence of events in sexual reproduction: 1.Meiosis 2.Fertilization 3.Mitosis (Cleavage) 4.Gastrulation 5.Differentiation

26. Male Reproductive System

27. 2 major functions: 1. Make sperm 2. Deposit in female (internal fertilization) Structures and Functions: 1.Testes: Male gonads a.Sperm and testosterone production b.Location  scrotum – keeps sperm 1 – 2 degrees cooler than normal body temperature

28. 2. Vas Deferens: a. tube that connects testes to urethra b. sperm transported here c. along the way secretions from 3 glands are picked up to make semen. 3. Semen: sperm + fluids 4. Testosterone: hormone secreted by testes, regulates development of secondary sex characteristics.

29. Male Reproductive System – Frontal View

30. Male Reproductive System

31. Female Reproductive System

32. Structures and Functions 1.Ovaries: a. female gonads b. produce eggs (meiosis – oogenesis) c. eggs enclosed in follicles d. once a month egg is ovulated (released – into fallopian tube) 2. Fallopian Tubes (oviducts): a. connects ovary to uterus b. fertilization here

33. 3. Uterus: a. implantation here (embryo embeds itself into uterine wall b. development from embryo to fetus here 4. Vagina: a. birth canal (menstruate through here too) 5. Estrogen and progesterone: a. female hormones (ovaries) b. regulate secondary sex characteristics c. menstrual cycle

36. Menstrual Cycle Background information: -series of changes in ovaries and uterus -Begins at puberty -Temporarily stops during pregnancy -Menopause – cycle stops permanently

37. Stages of the Menstrual Cycle

38. (Lasts about 28 days) A.Stage 1: Follicle Stage (10 days) a.Pituitary  FSH b.Ovaries  estrogen – thickens uterus c.Egg matures in follicle – swells B. Stage 2: Ovulation (1 day – stays in tube 2 – 3 days) a. Pituitary  LH b. egg released from follicle

39. C.Stage 3: Corpus Luteum Stage (~ 14 days) a.Follicle dies – forms a “scar”  corpus luteum b.Corpus luteum  progesterone c.Causes uterine lining to stay thick D.Stage 4: Menstruation (4 days) a. egg not fertilized – uterine lining breaks down

40. Internal Development: Placental Mammals - development inside the female - gestation- time period between fertilization and birth 1.Placenta: a.Forms in uterus b.Feeds fetus - nutrition c.Exchanges gases for fetus – respiration d.Rids fetus of wastes – excretion e.No direct connection of bloodstreams between mother and fetus (Diffusion occurs across the blood vessels)

41. Placenta

42. 2. Umbilical Cord: a. attaches placenta to fetus b. food, wastes, gases, travel through here 3. Amniotic Sac: a. filled with amniotic fluid b. protects fetus

44. Multiple embryo’s: Identical twins: 1 sperm 1 egg  splits  same placenta/sac Fraternal twins: 2 eggs 2 sperm  separate sacs and placenta

47. 7 weeks - Brain has the first detectable brain waves, muscles develop and get stronger

48. 8 weeks - Eyes are well-developed, Fingers lengthen while distinct grooves (digital rays) form between the fingers

49. 12 weeks - Fetus begins to move around, though the mother cannot yet sense these movements.

50. 14 weeks - Fetus is more flexible with ability to move head, mouth, lips, arms, wrists, hands, legs, feet, and toes.

51. 18 weeks - Fetus has phases of sleep and waking and may prefer a favorite sleep position, temporary hair called lanugo appears on the head

52. 20 weeks - Fetus may suck on thumb. Extremely rapid brain growth; eyebrows and scalp hair become more visible and fetus blinks more often.

53. 24 weeks - Fetal brain waves begin to activate auditory and visual systems, both mouth and lips show more sensitivity. Eyes respond to light, while ears respond to sounds originating outside uterus.

54. 32 weeks - Eyes open during alert times and close during sleep. Eye color is usually blue, regardless of the permanent color as pigmentation is not fully developed. Fingernails reach over finger tips and fetus can scratch itself.

55. 40 weeks

56. Vaginal Delivery

57. Cesarean Delivery (C-section)

58. Artificial Insemination: sperm artificially inserted into female.

59. In Vitro Fertilization: fertilization occurs in a petri dish, then implanted in the uterus.

60. Amnioscentesis: removal of amniotic fluid from the sac during gestation  chromosomes analyzed for genetic disorders
