Study Notes
Autonomic Nervous System
- The sympathetic division is responsible for the 'fight or flight' response.
Sympathetic Division
- Preganglionic neurons are situated in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord.
- The paravertebral ganglia are arranged along the anterolateral surface of the vertebral column.
Parasympathetic Division
- The parasympathetic division is known as the 'rest and digest' system.
Autonomic Nervous System Function
- The autonomic nervous system is responsible for innervation to all organs except for skeletal muscle.
Male Reproductive System
- The main functions of the male reproductive system include producing sperm, transporting sperm, and secreting hormones.
Hormones
- Estrogens have a feminizing effect on females, while testosterone has a masculinizing effect on males.
- Estrogens can also have feminizing effects on males, while testosterone can have masculinizing effects on females.
Human Development
- During fertilization, a sperm fertilizes an egg, resulting in a zygote.
- During early human development, the zygote undergoes multiple cell divisions, eventually forming a blastocyst.
- During later stages of human development, the embryo undergoes organogenesis and morphogenesis.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
- Some common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
