Study Notes
Puberty
- Females typically begin puberty before males.
Pathway of Sperm
- The pathway of sperm from the testes to fertilization is as follows:
- Testes: Sperm are produced here.
- Epididymis: Sperm mature and are stored in the epididymis.
- Vas Deferens: Sperm are transported through the vas deferens.
- Ejaculatory Duct: In the ejaculatory duct, sperm mix with fluids from the seminal vesicles and prostate gland.
- Urethra: Sperm are ejected through the urethra.
- Vagina: Sperm enter the vagina.
- Cervix: Sperm travel through the cervix.
- Uterus: Sperm travel through the uterus.
- Fallopian Tube: Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes.
Fertilization
- Fertilization refers to the process where a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell.
Contraceptive Methods
- Condoms are the only type of contraception that also offers protection against STIs.
Monocots vs. Dicots
- Monocot plants have a single cotyledon in their seeds, as opposed to the two cotyledons found in dicot seeds.
- Monocot leaves are typically narrow and parallel-veined, unlike dicot leaves which are typically wider and have a network of veins.
- Monocot flowers have flower parts in multiples of three, while dicot flowers have parts in multiples of four or five.
