Human Reproduction Questions Q. Can the first time someone has sex cause pregnancy? Q. Which is smaller a sperm cell or an egg? Q. How do sperm swim? Cilia? Villi? Flagella?
8
Human Reproductive System Female Oogenesis- egg production Four eggs are created per month yet only one survives –Three Polar bodies are created –This causes chromosomal shedding Cytokinesis is lopped sided in oogenesis
9
Human Reproductive System- Male Meiosis produces sperm in the testicles Spermatogenesis has equal cytokinesis The two testicles are in a sac outside the body called the scrotum –The testicles move with temperature –Sperm meiosis takes place below body temperature (Jockey shorts are anti- spermatogenic)
10
Path of Sperm 1. Manufactured in the seminiferous tubules of the two testes 2. Epididymis (Epi, did I miss?)- long coiled tube where sperm matures 3. Vas deferens where sperm is stored Ejaculation = sperm is released from the vas deferens to the urethra which carries the sperm through the penis
11
Path of an Egg 1. Egg is produced in the ovary 2. The ovary releases an egg through the process called ovulation 3. The egg usually finds it way up the fallopian tube and is carried to the uterus for implanting Fertilization can occur anywhere along this path
12
EGGS Q. Are all eggs formed at the birth of the female? A. Sort of. A female’s ovaries contain about 2 million oocytes at birth, all have begun meiosis and are stopped in prophase these are called primary oocytes Only a few primary oocytes go into full mitosis –About 400 of the 2 million oocytes become OVA, mature eggs
13
Human Reproduction Meiosis produces 700,000,000 sperm per day and one egg per month Egg meets sperm to form a single cell called a Zygote The zygote becomes an embryo The embryo becomes a fetus After nine months (266 days) the fetus becomes a child
14
There only a small difference between man and females Everyone starts out a as female In the tenth week the “Y” chromosome on sperm causes a male, without the “Y” the embryo becomes female Internally- we are set up to go either way –Indifferent gonads can become ovaries or testicles
15
Twins Identical = same egg and sperm Fraternal = separate eggs, separate sperms Can fraternal twins have separate fathers? Be of different races? What can happen if a identical twin egg doesn’t separate totally?
