Study Notes
Biological Distinction of Sex
- Male gamete (sperm) is motile, while female gamete (ovum) is not.
- Eggs (ova) are exclusive to human females.
- The penis serves as the male copulatory organ.
- Human females do not possess a Y chromosome.
- Both ova and spermatozoa are classified as gametes.
Female Reproductive Development
- Development is directly inhibited by Müllerian-inhibiting factor.
Genetic Contribution to Sex
- The sperm cell carries the chromosome that determines the zygote's sex.
Male Reproductive Anatomy
- Structures involved in sperm transport include:
- Prostatic urethra
- Ductus deferens
- Efferent ductules
Male Reproductive System Parts
- Labeling of various male reproductive parts includes the spermatic cord, testis, and external genitalia.
Semen Composition
- The prostate gland contributes a clotting agent to semen, facilitating retention inside the female reproductive system after ejaculation.
Sexual Response
- Unlike males, females do not have a refractory period, allowing for multiple orgasms.
- Vasocongestion occurs in both sexes during sexual arousal.
- The female orgasmic platform is distinct; males do not possess this feature.
Uterine and Menstrual Cycle Events
- Key stages of the menstrual and ovarian cycles overlap.
- The uterus undergoes significant changes during the menstrual cycle, including thickening and degeneration related to hormonal fluctuations.
Female Anatomical Structures
- Correct labeling of structures includes ovaries, reproductive tracts, and supportive ligaments.
- External female genitalia consists of clitoris, labia minora, and labia majora.
Pregnancy Adaptations
- Women's bodies undergo various adaptations during pregnancy, encompassing multiple physiological changes.
Perineum Anatomy
- The perineum is bounded anteriorly by the pubic symphysis and posteriorly by the coccyx.
- Distinct triangles in the perineum are defined: urogenital triangle (anterior) and anal triangle (posterior).
Determination of Sex
- A child's sex is determined at conception and is influenced by whether an X or Y chromosome is contributed by the sperm.
Accessory Glands in Male Reproduction
- Malfunction of accessory glands like the seminal vesicle may lead to low semen volume or inadequate sperm motility.
Ovarian Phases
- The ovarian cycle is integral to the menstrual cycle, with phases reflecting hormonal changes and readiness for potential fertilization.
Conclusion
- Understanding male and female reproductive structures and functions is crucial for studying human biology and reproductive health.
