Study Notes
Human Reproductive System
- The human reproductive system consists of gametogenesis, insemination, fertilization, implantation, gestation, and parturition.
- Gametogenesis is the formation of gametes (sperm and ovum) in males and females respectively.
Male Reproductive System
- Consists of:
- Primary sex organs: a pair of testes suspended in a scrotum.
- Secondary sex organs: a pair of ducts differentiated into rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct, and associated glands.
- External genitalia.
Female Reproductive System
- Consists of:
- Primary sex organs: a pair of ovaries.
- Secondary sex organs: the duct system consisting of fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina.
- External genitalia and mammary glands.
- Uterus is composed of three layers: perimetrium (external membrane), myometrium (middle thick layer of smooth muscles), and endometrium (inner lining that undergoes cyclic changes during the menstrual cycle).
Gametogenesis
- Gametogenesis is the process of formation of male and female gametes in testes and ovaries respectively.
- Types of gametogenesis: spermatogenesis in males and oogenesis in females.
Spermatogenesis
- Process of formation of mature sperm in testes.
- Starts at puberty, involving hormonal control.
- Structure of sperm: consists of head, neck, middle piece, and tail, with a haploid nucleus covered by acrosome.
- Human male ejaculates around 200-300 million sperm during coitus.
Oogenesis
- Process of formation of mature female gametes in ovaries.
- Starts during embryonic development stage.
- Ovaries contain millions of oogonia (gamete mother cells) formed during fetal development.
