Male Reproduction
4
Male Reproductive Anatomy
5
Testes and Sperm Testes: produce male sperm and male hormones (approximately 100 million /day)
6
Sperm Production
7
Sperm Production The Sperm cells in the walls of testes mature into flagellated cells (cells with flagella / tails)
8
Sperm Production Mature sperm is transported by the Seminiferous Tubules to the Epididymis which stores the sperm
9
Sperm Production During sexual arousal, sperm is transported from the epididymis through the tubular Vas Deferens, out of the scrotum and into the abdomen and enters the prostrate gland
10
Sperm Production The prostrate gland and the sac-like seminal vesicles add fluid to the sperm Semen- combination of sperm, prostate, Cowper’s, and seminal fluid. One drop contains 5-10 million sperm.
11
Sperm Production Inside the prostrate gland the Vas Deferens joins the urethra, the tubular structure that goes through the penis
12
Sperm Production Sperm travels through the urethra and is ejaculated by the penis Sperm Production
13
The Path of Sperm
14
Female Reproduction
15
Labia Majora and Minora- protective folds of skin.
Urethra- passageway from bladder to outside of body. Clitoris- small area of erectile tissue.
16
Female Reproductive Anatomy
17
Female Reproductive Anatomy
18
Ovary and Ovulation The Ovaries produce and store eggs
Eggs develop within a structure called a follicle Egg Cell Production
19
Ovulation A mature egg is released from the ovary in a process called ovulation Ovulation
20
The Fallopian Tube The egg is transported by one of the fallopian tubes to the uterus Eggs are usually fertilized in the Fallopian tubes / Oviduct A fertilized egg develops in the uterus Cell Division
21
Female Anatomy
22
The Placenta Nutrients pass from the mother to developing embryo through a membrane called the placenta Placenta Formation
23
The Placenta The umbilical cord is a cord containing arteries and veins that connect the fetus to the placenta. Kids Umbilical Cord
24
The Amniotic Sac baby protection
The amniotic sac is filled up with fluid to cushion and protect the fetus as it grows Amniotic Fluid
25
Menstruation If the fertilized egg fails to implant or the egg is not fertilized, extra blood and tissue from the uterus are released through the vagina in a process called Menstruation. Animation
26
Hormones control when girls start menstruating (between yrs old) and when women stop menstruating (menopause) at around 50 yrs of age.
28
Days1-4 Menstrual discharge
29
Days 5-13 Egg develops in follicle. Luteinizing hormone (LH) levels
increase.
30
Days 14-15. Ovulation – egg is released from the ovary
Days Ovulation – egg is released from the ovary. (LH levels peak)
31
Days 16-22. Egg moves through the fallopian tubes
Days Egg moves through the fallopian tubes. Uterine lining thickens. (LH levels drop).
32
Days 23-28. Unfertilized egg enters the uterus
Days Unfertilized egg enters the uterus. Uterus prepares to shed its lining (menstruation).
33
Differentiation Multi-cellular organisms such as humans develop different group of cells that take on different functions…this is called Differentiation This means that all different cells in the body are different in structure and function Animation
