Study Notes
Sexual Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction involves a male sperm fertilizing a female egg, creating offspring.
- Males produce sperm in the testicles, and females produce eggs in the ovaries.
- The joining of a sperm and egg is called a zygote.
- Internal fertilization occurs when the sperm fertilizes the egg inside the female's body.
- External fertilization occurs when the sperm and egg meet outside the female's body, (e.g., fish).
Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction creates offspring from a single parent, without a male.
- Cell division creates a copy of the parent's DNA, forming a new cell.
- Budding involves a new cell growing on the parent, detaching when fully developed.
- Splitting creates new organisms when an organism splits down the middle.
- Pathogenesis produces identical offspring when reproduction occurs without a mate.
Male Reproductive System
- The bladder stores urine.
- Seminal vesicles produce a fluid rich in fructose and nutrients for sperm.
- The prostate gland contributes to semen production during ejaculation.
- The epididymis stores and transports sperm to the sperm duct.
- The sperm duct transmits sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
- The anus is the exit point for waste matter like feces.
- The urethra is a tube transporting urine and semen.
- The penis is the external male sex organ for urination and ejaculation.
- Testicles produce sperm and testosterone.
Female Reproductive System
- The scrotum protects the testicles.
- The fallopian tubes transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
- The ovaries produce eggs.
- The cervix is a narrow opening to the uterus, preventing bacteria from entering.
- The vagina is a passageway for both menstrual flow and intercourse.
- The urethra is a tube that transports urine from the bladder.
- The clitoris is a pleasure center.
- The vulva is external female genitalia.
- The hymen is a membrane partially covering the vaginal opening.
Menstrual Cycle
- Days 1-6: menstruation (shedding of uterine lining).
- Days 6-10: uterine lining regenerates.
- Day 10-14: ovulation (egg release from ovary).
- Days 15-28: uterine lining thickens, preparing for potential pregnancy.
- If egg isn't fertilized, the cycle starts again with menstruation.
