Study Notes

All mammals reproduce sexually, with internal fertilization and development.
Females have organs to make gametes, a place for fertilization, and a uterus for embryo development.
Males have testes to make sperm, seminal vesicles and prostate gland to add fluid to semen, and a urethra to excrete sperm and urine.
The menstrual cycle is a series of events in which the lining of the uterus is built up each month in preparation for the implantation of an embryo.
Hormones secreted by the ovary include oestrogen and progesterone.
FSH causes the development of the follicle and ovum, while LH brings about ovulation and development of the corpus luteum.
The sperm has a head, middle piece, and long tail to allow it to swim and fertilize an ovum.
The ovum has a jelly coat, corona radiata, and is moved along by contractions of the oviducts and cilia.
Fertilization takes place close to where the ovum enters the oviduct, and the embryo moves towards the uterus for implantation.
Implantation takes place approximately 7 days after fertilization.
