1
Sex, Reproduction, & Development
2
Smoking and Pregnancy In The News
3
Types of Reproduction Sexual reproduction –Union of male & female gametes (sex cells) –Each parent supplies half genetic material Asexual reproduction –No union of gametes –Cloning, unless there is mutation
4
Asexual Reproduction Occurs in all 3 domains of life Disadvantage –Genetic sameness means less survival with changing environments –Variability only due to mutation Advantage –Individuals can reproduce
5
Asexual Reproduction
6
Binary Fission Dividing of individual into two Common in: –Archaea –Bacteria –Many protists
7
Asexual Reproduction by Spores Common in fungi –Life cycle with sexual & asexual stage
8
Asexual Reproduction by Budding Occurs in sponges, jellyfish & anemones
9
Asexual Reproduction by Fragmentation Occurs in flatworms & sea stars Fragments regenerate new parts
10
Parthenogenesis Eggs develop without fertilization Some species engage in behaviors simulating mating
11
Sexual Reproduction Prevalent among most vertebrates Common in many invertebrates Zygote –Fusion of haploid egg & sperm cells –Produces diploid cell
12
Hermaphrodite Both male & female in same body Some can reproduce by self-fertilization Forms of hermaphrodite –Simultaneous –Sequential
13
Modes of Fertilization External Fertilization –Female sheds eggs –Male fertilizes eggs after they leave her body
14
Modes of Fertilization Internal Fertilization –Male deposits sperm in or near the female reproductive tract –Eggs are fertilized in female’s body
15
Human Reproduction Sexual with internal fertilization Gonads = reproductive organs –Male – testes –Female –ovaries Other organs transport & receive sex cells Accessory glands facilitate reproduction
16
Production of Sperm Testes –Housed in scrotum –Placement allows for development –Temperature must be lower than body
17
Testes Structure Composed of seminiferous tubules –Site of sperm production (spermatogenesis) –Sperm production triggered by follicle stimulating hormone Spermatogonia give rise to sperm cells
18
Spermatogenesis Spermatogonia undergo mitosis Some daughter cells undergo meiosis
19
Epididymis Site of sperm cell storage –18 hours to 10 days Unused sperm cells are reabsorbed
20
Vas Defrens Long tube from epididymis thru pelvic cavity Loops over urinary bladder Delivers sperm to urethra
21
Accessory Glands Seminal vesicle –Adds fructose to nourish sperm cells –Bicarbonate buffers acidity of urethra & vagina Prostate –Alkaline fluid Bulbourethral glands –Mucus-like alkaline substance –Lubricant for sexual intercourse
22
Penis Cylinders of erectile tissue
23
Female Reproductive System Vagina –Accepts penis & receives sperm External genitals –Vulva –Mons pubis –Labia majora –Labia minora –Clitoris Erectile tissue
24
Ovaries Female gonad Contain primary oocytes –Can develop into eggs
25
Oogenesis One primary oocyte yields in one ovum & three polar bodies
26
Oviducts Ovulation – mature oocyte is released Oocyte enters oviduct Oviducts lead to uterus Oviduct is site of fertilization
27
Uterus Cervix – lower portion opens to vagina Uterus is site of prenatal development Endometrium – inner lining –Nourishing layer for embryo –Shed monthly if no pregnancy occurs
28
Reproductive Cycle
29
Birth Control Methods
35
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
37
Stages of Human Development Zygote – fusion of egg & sperm Embryo –Morula –Blastocyst –Implantation –Gastrulation –Neurulation Fetus
38
Morula 1 cell zygote begins to divide rapidly Mitosis without growth
39
Blastocyst Ball of cells Portion of interior destined to differentiate Cells begin to migrate (morphogenesis)
40
Implantation Approximately 1 week after fertilization Blastocyst secretes enzymes –Digests portion of endometrial wall Nourished by digested uterine cells
41
Implantation Embryo completes implantation Germ layers begin development (first 2) –Ectoderm –Endoderm
42
From Ovulation to Implantation
43
Gastrulation Primary germ layers fully formed Organs & tissues begin development
44
Neurulation Development of hollow nerve cord Neural groove forms
45
Embryo at Four Weeks
46
Fetus All organ systems are formed Growth & development continues
47
Fetus at Five Months
48
Human Fetus Near Full Term
49
Birth is Initiated by Hormones
50
Newborn Physiological Changes Obtains oxygen from environment Placenta no longer the source of nutrients Blood circulation is increased to lungs
51
Placental-Fetal circulation
