Study Notes
Human Life Cycle
- The human life cycle begins with fertilization and is accompanied by a series of growth and developmental events that allow the full formation of the offspring.
- The chromosome number is restored in the zygote after fertilization.
Human Life Stages
- Infancy: 0 to 2 years old, with continuous physical development.
- Childhood: 1 to 12 years old, with locomotor and cognitive skills development.
- Adolescence: 13 to 19 years old, with various changes related to puberty.
- Adulthood: 20 years and onwards, with sexual maturity physically and behaviorally.
Human Reproduction
- Human reproduction is exclusively sexual, with genetic material from two sources.
- No viable asexual means, preventing mutations from increasing.
Male Reproductive Anatomy
- Testis: male gonad that produces and nourishes sperm cells.
- Scrotum: external sac that regulates temperature for testis.
- Epididymis: stores sperm cells produced and transports them to vas deferens.
- Urethra: common exit duct for both urine and semen.
- Vas deferens: pathway of sperms from testis to the urethra.
- Seminal vesicle: contributes alkaline fluid that nourishes and protects sperm cells.
- Prostate gland: contributes a fluid that neutralizes semen and vaginal fluid.
- Bulbourethral gland: contributes a fluid that functions for lubrication.
- Penis: copulatory organ that conveys sperm to female reproductive tract.
Female Reproductive Anatomy
- Ovary: female gonad that produces and nourishes egg cells.
- Fallopian tubes: ducts that serve as fertilization site and lead to the uterus.
- Fimbriae: appendages of the fallopian tubes that catch eggs during ovulation.
- Uterus: highly vascularized sac that nourishes the developing embryo.
- Cervix: narrow channel that prevents further entry of foreign materials.
- Vagina: receives sperm cells and serves as the birth canal.
- External genitalia: accessory structures of the female reproductive system.
- Bartholin's gland: produces fluid that serves as lubrication during intercourse.
Gametogenesis
- Spermatogenesis: occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the male testis, involving proliferation, growth, maturation, and differentiation.
- Oogenesis: occurs in the ovaries and fallopian tubes, involving proliferation, growth, maturation, and differentiation.
Gametogenesis: Spermatogenesis
- Proliferation: spermatogonium undergoes several mitotic divisions to produce more spermatogonia.
- Growth: spermatogonia undergo minimal growth and further division to become primary spermatocytes.
- Maturation: involves the meiotic division of the primary spermatocyte.
- Differentiation: each spermatid differentiates to become a functional and motile spermatozoon.
Gametogenesis: Oogenesis
- Proliferation: each oogonium undergoes mitotic division to produce more oogonia.
- Growth: each oogonium then undergoes significant growth to become primary oocytes.
- Maturation: involves the meiotic division of the primary oocyte to reduce chromosome number.
- Differentiation: the ootid is a very transient stage, eventually becoming the ovum with minimal differentiation.
Embryonic and Fetal Development
- Organogenesis occurs during embryonic development.
- Organogenesis occurs during fetal development.
- The pre-implantation embryonic development stage occurs after fertilization, where the fertilized egg travels into the uterus and is implanted.
