Study Notes
- Reproductive system is the only organ system that can be removed without consequences to survival.
- Reproductive system offers a gateway to immortality.
- Asexual reproduction can lead to immortality.
- Asexual reproduction mechanisms include fission, budding, and fragmentation.
- Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction that involves gametes.
- Vertebrates can reproduce by parthenogenesis, but it is rare.
- Sexual reproduction has handicaps, but only 0.1% of extant animals are exclusively asexual.
- In aquatic environments, sexual reproduction can occur externally.
- The female reproductive system includes ovaries, oviduct, uterus, and endometrium.
- In arthropods, the female reproductive system also includes a spermatheca.
- The male reproductive system includes testes, seminiferous tubules, vas deferens, epididymis, seminal vesicle, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands.
- Arthropods have similar male reproductive organs to mammals, making them useful for studying human diseases.
