5. Reproductive Physiology: FYI Slide 16.43 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Information originally from research by Alfred Kinsey, 1938  Research continued by Masters and Johnson in the 60’s and 70’s  Includes self reports and physiological data  Lots of volunteers!!

6. Phases of Sexual Response: FYI Slide 16.43 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Excitement  Reflex response (parasympathethic!)  Plateau  Increased response  “sex flush”

7. Phases of Sexual Response: FYI Slide 16.43 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Orgasm  Wave-like muscle contraction  Sympathetic N.S.  0.8 contractions per second  Resolution  Return to homeostasis  Refractory period

8. Physiologic effects of orgasm: FYI Slide 16.43 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Measurable increases in:  heart rate  blood pressure  respiratory rate/volume (!)  vasocongestion  myotonia  cramps

9. Menstrual (Uterine) Cycle: FYI Slide 16.38 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Cyclic changes of the endometrium  Regulated by cyclic production of female hormones  Stages of the menstrual cycle  Menses: “day 0” of cycle  Proliferative stage  Secretory stage

10. Hormonal Control of the Ovarian and Uterine Cycles: FYI Slide 16.39a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 16.12a, b

11. Hormonal Control of the Ovarian and Uterine Cycles: FYI Slide 16.39b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 16.12c, d

12. Hormone Production by Ovaries: FYI Slide 16.40 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Estrogens  Produced by follicle cells  Cause secondary sex characteristics  Enlargement of accessory organs  Development of breasts  Appearance of pubic hair  Increase in fat beneath the skin  Widening and lightening of the pelvis  Onset of menses

13. Hormone Production by Ovaries: FYI Slide 16.41 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Progesterone  Produced by the corpus luteum  Production continues until LH diminishes in the blood (by negative feedback)  Helps maintain pregnancy

14. Stages of Pregnancy and Development: FYI Slide 16.44 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Fertilization  Embryonic development  Fetal development  Childbirth

15. Fertilization: FYI Slide 16.45 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  The oocyte is viable for 12 to 24 hours  Sperm are viable for 12 to 48 hours  Sperm cells must make their way along uterine tube to find ovum  “lured” by chemical signals from oocyte

16. The Zygote: FYI Slide 16.47 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  First cell of a new individual  The result of the fusion of DNA from sperm and egg  The zygote begins rapid mitotic cell divisions  The zygote stage occurs as it moves toward the uterus in the uterine tube

17. The Embryo: FYI Slide 16.48 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Developmental stage from first mitosis until the ninth week  Enters the uterus at the ~64-cell state  Floats free in the uterus 2-4 days  Uterine secretions are used for nourishment

18. The 100-cell Blastocyst: FYI Slide 16.50 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Primary germ layers are eventually formed  Ectoderm – outside layer  Mesoderm – middle layer  Endoderm – inside layer  Implants in the wall of the uterus (by day 14 after conception)

19. Primary Germ Layers: FYI Slide 16.54 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 16.16

20. Development After Implantation: FYI Slide 16.53 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Embryonic and maternal cells form placenta  The embryo is surrounded by the amnion (a fluid filled sac)  An umbilical cord forms to attach the embryo to the placenta

21. Development After Implantation: FYI Slide 16.54 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 16.16

22. The Fetus (Beginning of the Ninth Week): FYI Slide 16.56 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  All organ systems are formed by the end of the eighth week  Activities of the fetus are growth and organ specialization  A stage of tremendous growth and change in appearance

23. Childbirth (Parturition): FYI Slide 16.60 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Labor – the series of events that expel the infant from the uterus  Initiation of labor  Estrogen levels rise  Uterine contractions begin  Oxytocin is released by the pituitary  Causes smooth muscle contraction

24. Stages of Labor: FYI Slide 16.62a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Dilation  Cervix becomes dilated  Uterine contractions begin and increase  The amnion ruptures

25. FYI Childbirth: FYI Parturition – 266 days after fertilization Labor – events that expel the infant from the uterus Figure 24.27a, b

26. Stages of Labor: FYI Slide 16.62b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Expulsion  Infant passes through the cervix and vagina  Normal delivery is head first  Placental stage  Delivery of the placenta

27. FYI Childbirth: FYI Figure 24.27c, d

28. Developmental Aspects of the Reproductive System: FYI Slide 16.64a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Gender is determined at fertilization  Males have XY sex chromosomes  Females have XX sex chromosomes  Gonads do not begin to form until the eighth week  The determining factor for gonad differentiation is testosterone

29. Developmental Aspects of the Reproductive System: FYI Slide 16.65 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Reproductive system organs do not function until puberty  Puberty usually begins between ages 10 and 15  The first menses usually occurs about two years after the start of puberty  Most women reach peak reproductive ability in their late 20s

30. Developmental Aspects of the Reproductive System: FYI Slide 16.66 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Menopause: ovulation and menses cease  Ovaries stop functioning  There is a no equivalent of menopause in males, but there is a steady decline in testosterone
