Study Notes
The Ovary, Menstrual Cycle, and Pregnancy
- The ovary is organized into outer connective tissue and inner connective tissue called stroma, with the cortex containing follicles and the medulla containing blood vessels and nerves.
- Follicular development involves primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary follicles, with the release of the egg from the dominant follicle.
- The menstrual cycle lasts one month and involves menstrual cycles with 3-7 days of menses, changes in the follicle and ovarian cycle, and changes in the endometrium and uterine cycle.
- The ovarian cycle includes the follicular phase, ovulation, and luteal phase, while the uterine cycle involves menses, proliferative phase, and secretory phase.
- Hormonal control of the menstrual cycle is complex, involving the early follicular phase, mid to late follicular phase, ovulation, early to mid-luteal phase, and late luteal phase and menstruation.
- Hormones influence female secondary sex characteristics, with estrogens controlling breast development and fat distribution, and androgens controlling pubic and axillary hair growth and libido.
- Fertilization requires capacitation, which is the final maturation step enabling sperm to fertilize an egg, and occurs in the female reproductive tract.
- Fertilization in the Fallopian tubes involves the release of powerful enzymes from the acrosome in the sperm head and the fusion of sperm and egg triggering the cortical reaction.
- Gestation involves the developing embryo implanting in the endometrium and forming a hollow blastocyst when it reaches the uterus.
- Extraembryonic membranes, including the chorion, amnion, allantois, and yolk sac, play essential roles in the formation of the placenta and the development of the embryo.
- The chorionic villi of the placenta are surrounded by maternal blood, nutrients, gases, and wastes, facilitating the exchange of substances between the mother and the developing embryo.

Human Sexual Development and Gametogenesis
- Sexual differentiation occurs early in development with 2 pairs of accessory ducts and bipotential gonads
- Male embryonic development involves the Wolffian ducts developing into reproductive structures with the SRY gene on the Y chromosome
- Female embryonic development results in the development of Müllerian ducts into female reproductive structures without the SRY gene
- Gametogenesis in humans begins in utero with meiosis resulting in the production of haploid cells
- Male gametogenesis involves continuous production of sperm from puberty through life
- Female gametogenesis starts with oögonia completing the mitotic stage by the 5th month of fetal development and no resting pool of oögonia
- Both sexes produce androgens and estrogen, with androgens dominant in males and estrogens dominant in females
- Control pathways for reproduction involve gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRH) from the hypothalamus regulating secretion of anterior pituitary hormones
- Higher concentrations of estrogen can exert either positive or negative feedback, influencing gonadotropin release
- When circulating levels of gonadal steroids are low, the pituitary secretes FSH and LH
- Figure 26.2(a) and Figure 26.2(b) illustrate sexual development in the human embryo and fetus
- Figure 26.5 and Figure 26.6 depict gametogenesis and hormonal control of reproduction, respectively
