Reproduction and Development of the Human Reproductive Systems

2. Fetal development SRY gene is present No SRY gene
7th week of development male sex organs begin to development
No SRY gene
8th week of development female sex organs begin development

3. Male Reproductive System Anatomy and Physiology
Chapter 15: The Male and Female Reproductive Systems
Lesson 15.2
Male Reproductive System Anatomy and Physiology

4. Male Reproductive Anatomy

5. Male Reproductive Anatomy
scrotum and testes
sperm production
mature in epididymis
penis
delivers sperm
contains erectile tissue

6. Male Reproductive Anatomy
ducts
ductus deferens
ejaculatory duct
accessory glands and semen
seminal glands
prostate gland
bulbourethral glands

7. Male Reproductive Physiology
sperm formation
spermatogenesis
begins at puberty,
sexual response
Erection-erectile tissue filled with blood
Ejaculation- propulsion of semen

8. Sperm Cell

9. Female Reproductive System Anatomy and Physiology
Chapter 15: The Male and Female Reproductive Systems
Lesson 15.3
Female Reproductive System Anatomy and Physiology

10. Female Reproductive System Anatomy

11. Female Reproductive System Anatomy
ovaries
oocyte
egg cell
ovulation
release of egg from ovary

12. Female Reproductive System Anatomy
ducts
uterine tubes
connect ovary to uterus
uterus–womb
endometrium
cervix

13. Female Reproductive System Anatomy
vagina
birth canal
external genitalia
labia
clitoris
mammary glands
lactation

14. Oogenesis oocyte production process begins before birth primary oocyte
secondary oocyte
polar bodies

15. The Female Sexual Cycle
menstrual cycle
ovarian cycle
maturation and release of oocyte
Days 1-14
uterine cycle
uterus readies for implantation

16. The Ovarian Cycle Follicular phase primary follicle Luteal phase
pituitary gland releases FSH and LH
ovulation
Luteal phase
Secretes LH
Corpus Luteum
disintegrates after
10 days (if no
fertilization)

17. The Uterine Cycle menstrual phase proliferative phase secretory phase
days 1-5; endometrium breaks down and sheds
proliferative phase
days leading to ovulation; endometrium grows back
secretory phase
Ovulationendometrium prepares to nourish embryo

18. Fertilization, Pregnancy, and Birth
Chapter 15: The Male and Female Reproductive Systems
Lesson 15.4
Fertilization, Pregnancy, and Birth

19. Fertilization, Pregnancy, and Birth
fertilization of oocyte
pregnancy
childbirth
lactation

20. Fertilization of the Oocyte
journey of sperm
vagina, uterus, uterine tube
capacitation can take 10 hours
sperm penetration
zona pellucida
acrosomal enzymes

21. Fertilization of the Oocyte
only 1 sperm is required for fertilization
more than 1 = death of oocyte
chemistry of zona pellucida changes after sperm entry
Sperm entry, completion of meiosis and fertilization
Contact with ZP activates
Acrosomal enzymes

22. Pregnancy lasts approximately 265 days
(if by last period, 9 months-1 week or 280 days)
from fertilization to implantation
development of placenta, embryo, and fetus

23. From Fertilization to Implantation
cell stages
Zygote- fertilized egg, less than 16 cells
Morula- solid ball,16 cells
Blastocyst- sheds zona pellucida, enters uterine cavity, fluid-filled cavity, develops trophoblast
implantation
Day 15 of uterine cycle; blastocyst binds to endometrium
High hCG retains endometrium

24. From Fertilization to Implantation

25. Development of Placenta, Embryo, and Fetus
Implantation-8 weeks
Fetus
8+ weeks of development
Placenta
supplies nutrients to embryo and fetus

26. Childbirth
Parturition = birth; prostaglandins from placenta stimulate contractions
Contractions last1 min every 2-3 minutes
oxytocin
stages of labor
Dilation- full is 10 cm
Expulsion- full dilation  delivery
delivery of placenta
Detaches from uterine wall

27. Lactation production of breast milk activation of milk-producing cells
prolactin
delivery of milk through ducts to nipple
oxytocin

28. Disorders and Diseases of the Reproductive System
Chapter 15: The Male and Female Reproductive Systems
Lesson 15.5
Disorders and Diseases of the Reproductive System

29. Infertility male infertility female infertility low sperm count
erectile dysfunction
female infertility
failure to ovulate
inability of egg to reach uterine tube
lack of implantation

30. Infertility treatment for infertility in vitro fertilization
lifestyle changes
drugs to induce ovulation
surgery to correct anatomical issues
in vitro fertilization
oocyte and sperm combined outside mother’s body

31. Cancers of the Reproductive System
prostate cancer
PSA test
cancers of the female reproductive tract
uterine cancer
ovarian cancer
cervical cancer
breast cancer
