Study Notes
Male Reproductive System
- Sperm is produced in the testes, which contain seminiferous tubules for spermatogenesis.
- The male reproductive system includes organs that transport sperm, primarily the vas deferens, which carries sperm from the testes to the urethra.
Female Reproductive System
- Eggs are produced in the ovaries, where oogenesis takes place, maturing ova for potential fertilization.
- The uterus provides a nurturing environment for the fertilized egg to develop into a fetus. It contains a thick, muscular wall and a rich blood supply.
Functions of Reproductive Organs
- After birth, mammary glands in the breast provide nourishment through breast milk, critical for infant development.
- Female reproductive organs protect and nourish the developing fetus throughout gestation until birth.
Cell Division in Human Life Cycle
- Mitosis is involved in growth and repair, producing identical cells for tissue maintenance.
- Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction, creating gametes with half the chromosome number, introducing genetic diversity through recombination and independent assortment.
Hormonal Regulation
- Hormones, including testosterone, regulate male reproductive functions, influencing sperm production, libido, and secondary sexual characteristics.
