Study Notes

Reproduction and Development

  • Reproduction is the process by which organisms make more organisms; it's not essential for individual survival.
  • Human reproduction involves two types of sex cells, or gametes: sperm and egg (ovum).
  • Fertilization of the egg by sperm forms a zygote.
  • The zygote develops into an embryo and then a fetus.
  • Male and female reproductive systems are both essential for reproduction.
  • Genes, carriers of human traits, are passed down from parents to offspring, resulting in both similarities and differences between family members.

Female Reproductive System Overview

  • The vulva is the external female reproductive organ, which includes the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, and clitoris.
  • The vagina is a muscular tube extending from the vaginal opening to the uterus.
  • The uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are internal reproductive organs in females.
  • The ovaries produce, store, and release eggs, a process called ovulation.
  • The fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus.
  • The uterus houses a developing fetus.

Male Reproductive System Overview

  • The external male reproductive organs are the penis, scrotum, and testes.
  • The penis is the male organ for sexual intercourse.
  • The scrotum houses the testes (also called testicles).
  • The testes produce sperm and testosterone.
  • The internal organs for reproduction in males include the vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, urethra, seminal vesicles, and prostate gland.
  • The urethra plays a role in both urinary and reproductive functions.

Sexual Reproduction

  • The gonads are sexual organs that produce gametes.
  • Male gonads are testes, producing sperm.
  • Female gonads are ovaries, producing egg cells.
  • The fertilized egg (zygote) undergoes development stages into an embryo and then a fetus.

Menstrual Cycle

  • A cyclical process in women, releasing eggs for potential fertilization.
  • The menstrual flow occurs when there is no fertilization.
  • Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is common before the period.

Pregnancy

  • A gestation period where a fetus develops inside the uterus.
  • The fertilized egg implants in the wall of the uterus, and the embryo grows into a fetus.
  • The process of childbirth has stages of labor and delivery.

Childbirth Stages

  • Stage 1 is dilation, where the cervix opens.
  • Stage 2 is expulsion, where the baby is delivered.
  • Stage 3 is the delivery of the placenta.

Aging and Reproductive Systems

  • Fertility varies from person to person, age does not precisely predict it.
  • Menopause is a natural aging process in women, where the menstrual cycle stops.
  • Aging can cause changes in the reproductive systems of both men and women.
