Study Notes
Reproductive Functions
- Ovaries produce eggs and secrete estrogen, essential for female reproductive health.
- The Fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus, facilitating egg transport.
- The male reproductive system transports sperm from the epididymis to the urethra, crucial for ejaculation.
- Testes produce sperm and secrete testosterone, responsible for male development and functions.
- The uterus is the site where a fetus grows and develops until birth.
Sperm Storage and Semen Formation
- The male reproductive system stores sperm until they are expelled from the body.
- Accessory glands secrete substances that become part of seminal fluid, supporting sperm survival and mobility.
Birth Process and Hormonal Regulation
- The vagina provides a passage for a baby to exit the mother's body during childbirth.
- Hormones like estrogen, FSH, LH, and progesterone regulate the ovarian and menstrual cycles.
Secondary Sexual Characteristics
- Testosterone is responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics of males, including increased muscle and body hair.
- Estrogen contributes to the secondary sexual characteristics of females, such as breast development.
Twin Types and Development
- Identical twins result from a single fertilized egg splitting into two, sharing identical genetic material.
- Fraternal twins arise when two separate eggs are fertilized by different sperm; they do not share the same genetic makeup.
- The occurrence of fraternal twins can run in certain families.
Fertilization and Implantation
- After fertilization, the zygote increases in size and travels down the Fallopian tube, embedding into the uterine wall—a process known as implantation.
- The entrance to the womb is referred to as the cervix.
Asexual Reproduction Types
- Budding involves the formation of a small outgrowth on a parent organism, eventually developing into a genetically identical individual.
- Fragmentation occurs when a parent organism breaks into pieces, where each piece can grow into a new individual.
- This includes cases where an offspring develops from a part of the parent's body.
