Study Notes
Reproductive System
- The fallopian tube is responsible for transporting the egg from the ovary to the uterus in the female reproductive system.
Male Reproductive System
- The testes produce gametes (sperm) in males, which are responsible for fertilization.
- The main function of the testes is to produce sperm.
Sperm
- The tail of a sperm helps it move towards the egg during fertilization.
- The purpose of the tail in a sperm is to facilitate movement towards the egg.
Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction begins from the fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and egg).
- The first step in the process of reproduction is the fusion of gametes.
Egg-Laying
- Fish and frogs lay hundreds of eggs at a time because the chances of survival of each individual are low in their environment.
- Hens, on the other hand, lay few eggs at a time because the chances of survival of each individual are high in their environment.
Fertilization
- Fertilization that takes place outside the female body is called external fertilization.
Human Reproduction
- In human beings, the development of the baby takes place in the uterus.
- The zygote is the single cell that results from the fusion of sperm and egg during fertilization.
Infertility
- Some women are unable to bear babies if their oviducts are blocked, as the egg cannot travel to the uterus.
Fertility
- The process called fertilization occurs when a sperm and an egg fuse together.
