Study Notes

Human Reproductive System

  • Reproduction is the process of producing new individuals of the same kind, essential for life's continuation.
  • Reproduction occurs sexually (involving gametes) or asexually (without gametes).
  • Asexual reproduction involves the parent organism or part of it, creating new organisms. A simple example is binary fission in Amoeba. Budding, in hydra involves the growth of a new individual on the parent body.
  • Sexual reproduction involves two parents and the combination of male and female gametes. Higher organisms, like humans, reproduce sexually.

Patterns of Reproduction

  • Asexual reproduction - Reproductive units can be any part of the parent organism, varying in size from the whole parent to small fragments.
  • Sexual reproduction - Involves specialized sex cells (gametes - sperm and egg) that normally unite during fertilization to form a fertilized egg (zygote). This zygote develops to become the offspring.

Male Reproductive System

  • Primary organs: Testes (singular: testis), produce sperms.
  • Accessory organs: Sperm ducts (vas deferens), carry sperms. Accessory glands (seminal vesicles, prostate and bulbourethral glands) produce seminal fluid. Penis, transfers sperms to the female. Urethra, pathway for sperm and urine.
  • Testes: Oval organs housed in the scrotum. Contain seminiferous tubules (where sperm production occurs), and interstitial cells (produce testosterone).
  • Seminiferous tubules: Produce sperms.

Female Reproductive System

  • Primary organs: Ovaries, produce ova (eggs).
  • Accessory organs: Oviducts (Fallopian tubes), transport eggs. Uterus, housing growing embryo. Vagina, receives the male penis during copulation. Vulva, external genitalia.

Menstrual Cycle

  • The period of a female's reproductive life, typically about 28 days.
  • Cycle stages:
    • Menstrual phase: Shedding of the uterine lining, 3-5 days.
    • Follicular phase: Uterus lining thickens, egg develops, 5-12 days.
    • Ovulatory phase: Egg is released, 13-14 days.
    • Luteal phase: Uterus prepares for possible pregnancy, 15-28 days.

Fertilization and Development

  • Fertilization: Fusion of sperm and egg nuclei (zygote formation).
  • Implantation: Embedding of the developing embryo (blastocyst) into the uterine wall.
  • Pregnancy: Nourishment of developing embryo provided by the placenta. It develops in the uterus during this period.
  • Parturition: Expulsion of the foetus (baby) during birth.

Twins

  • Fraternal twins: Develop from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperms.
  • Identical twins: Develop from a single fertilized egg that splits into two separate embryos.
