Study Notes
Reproduction Overview
- Reproduction is the biological process where new organisms are created from parent organisms, essential for species continuation.
Types of Reproduction
- Sexual Reproduction: Involves two partners contributing genetic material; leads to offspring with diverse genetic traits.
- Asexual Reproduction: Involves only one partner; offspring are genetically identical clones of the parent.
Sexual Reproduction Terms
- Copulation: Refers to sexual intercourse, a key act in sexual reproduction.
- Male Gamete: Represents a reproductive cell (sperm) from the male, carrying half of the genetic information necessary for offspring.
Developmental Stage
- Embryo: Describes the early development stage of an organism, existing before birth or hatching.
Birth Process
- Parturition: The biological process of giving birth, marking the transition from embryo to independent organism.
Male Reproductive Anatomy
- Scrotum: A pouch-like structure that houses and protects the testicles.
- Testicles: Fundamental male reproductive organs responsible for sperm production.
- Epididymis: A coiled tube located behind each testis where sperm mature and are stored.
- Vas Deferens: The duct that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
Medical Terminology
- Ridgeling: A condition where one or more testicles fail to descend properly into the scrotum, which can affect fertility.
