    Study Notes

    Male Reproductive System

    • The male gonads are the testes (singular: testis).

    Sperm Production

    • Sperm is produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.

    Spermatogenesis

    • Diploid cells in spermatogenesis: Spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes.
    • Haploid cells in spermatogenesis: Secondary spermatocytes, spermatids, and mature sperm (spermatozoa).
    • The first haploid cells in spermatogenesis are called secondary spermatocytes.

    Acrosome

    • An acrosome is a cap-like structure on the head of a sperm cell, containing enzymes that help the sperm penetrate the outer layers of the egg (oocyte) during fertilization.

    • Contribute to the formation of a major component of semen

    Sperm Transportation and Production

    • Sperm is transported through the vas deferens.
    • Sperm is produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.

    Glands and Their Functions

    • The prostate gland produces a fluid that helps to activate sperm.
    • The bulbourethral glands produce a pre-ejaculate fluid that:
      • Lubricates the urethra for sperm to pass through.
      • Helps to neutralize acidity in the urethra.

    Composition of Semen

    • Fructose is present in semen and provides energy for sperm motility.

    Reproductive Processes

    • Prostaglandins in semen help thin the mucus in the cervix, allowing sperm to move into the uterus.
    • The parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for causing erection.

    Ejaculation

    • Ejaculation is caused by the sympathetic nervous system's activation, leading to muscular contractions that propel semen through the urethra and out of the body.

    Hormone Regulation

    • Once the desired level of testosterone is achieved, it sends a negative message back to the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary gland.
    • Testosterone inhibits the production of Luteinizing hormone (LH) and Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) through negative feedback.

    • FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) plays a crucial role in supporting spermatogenesis, the process of sperm cell development.

    Ovarian Cycle

    • Follicular phase is regulated by Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
    • Ovulation occurs on Day 14 of the ovarian cycle, releasing a mature egg from the ovary
    • Luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers ovulation

    Post-Ovulation

    • After ovulation, the ruptured follicle transforms into the corpus luteum
    • Corpus luteum secretes progesterone and estrogen to prepare the endometrium for potential pregnancy
    • Hormones secreted from the corpus luteum include progesterone and estrogen

    Fate of Corpus Luteum

    • If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates into the corpus albicans
    • Decrease in progesterone and estrogen triggers menstruation
    • If fertilization occurs, the corpus luteum continues to produce progesterone and estrogen to support early pregnancy
    • The placenta eventually takes over hormone production from the corpus luteum

    Corpus Luteum

    • If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates into the corpus albicans.
    • This degeneration leads to a decrease in progesterone and estrogen levels.

    Hormones of Corpus Luteum

    • The corpus luteum secretes two main hormones: progesterone and estrogen.

    Meiosis

    • Meiosis II is completed upon fertilization, resulting in the division of the secondary oocyte into the ovum and a second polar body.
    • The product of oogenesis is one ovum (egg) and polar bodies.

    Cell Division

    • Mitosis occurs during embryonic development, growth, and tissue repair.
    • Meiosis occurs during the formation of gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females).

    Female Reproductive System

    • The uterine tubes transport the ovum from the ovary to the uterus, which is the site of fertilization.
    • Fertilization typically occurs in the ampulla of the uterine tube.
    • The fimbria sweeps the ovum into the uterine tube following ovulation.

    Uterine Cycle

    • The uterine cycle consists of the menstrual phase, proliferative phase, and secretory phase, regulated by changes in hormone levels.
    • The three layers of the uterus are the perimetrium (outer layer), myometrium (middle muscular layer), and endometrium (inner lining).
    • Shedding occurs in the endometrium during menstruation, which is maintained by estrogen and progesterone hormones.

    Cell Division and Reproduction

    • Mitosis occurs during embryonic development, growth, and tissue repair.
    • Meiosis occurs during the formation of gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females).

    Female Reproductive System

    • The uterine tubes transport the ovum from the ovary to the uterus, where fertilization takes place.
    • Meiosis II is completed upon fertilization, resulting in the division of the secondary oocyte into the ovum and a second polar body.

    Uterine Cycle

    • The uterine cycle consists of three phases: menstrual, proliferative, and secretory.
    • The cycle is regulated by changes in hormone levels.
    • Shedding occurs in the endometrium during the menstrual phase.

    Mitosis Occurrence

    • Takes place during embryonic development, a crucial stage where cells multiply and differentiate to form tissues and organs.
    • Occurs during growth, allowing the organism to increase in size and complexity.
    • Essential for tissue repair, as it enables the replacement of damaged or dead cells with new ones.

    Meiosis

    • During puberty, some primary oocytes complete meiosis I to become secondary oocytes each month.
    • After fertilization, the secondary oocyte completes meiosis II to become an ovum.

    Oocyte Development

    • During puberty, a selection of primary oocytes advances to the next stage of development by completing meiosis I.
    • As a result, these primary oocytes transform into secondary oocytes on a monthly basis.
    • Following fertilization, the secondary oocyte undergoes further development by completing meiosis II.
    • The culmination of meiosis II is the formation of a mature ovum.

    Oogenesis

    • Meiosis I is the type of cell division that occurs when a primary oocyte divides to become a secondary oocyte.
    • During ovulation, a secondary oocyte is released, which is paused in Metaphase II of meiosis.

    Completion of Meiosis I

    • One secondary oocyte and one polar body are produced at the completion of meiosis I.

    Completion of Meiosis II

    • One ovum (mature egg) and a second polar body are produced at the completion of meiosis II.

    Cell Division and Ovulation

    • Meiosis I is the type of cell division that occurs when the primary oocyte divides to become a secondary oocyte.
    • After ovulation, the tissue that surrounds the oocyte transforms into the corpus luteum.

    Corpus Luteum and Hormones

    • The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure that secretes progesterone and estrogen.
    • Estrogen is responsible for the thickening of the uterine lining during the proliferative phase.
    • Progesterone is responsible for the thickening of the uterine lining during the secretory phase.

    Menstrual Cycle Phases

    • Menarche is the first menstrual cycle or first menstrual bleeding in female humans.
    • Menses refers to the monthly uterine bleeding in the menstrual cycle.
    • Menses is the phase of the menstrual cycle where the uterine lining is shed, resulting in menstrual bleeding.
    • Menses typically occurs on days 1-5 of the menstrual cycle.

    Ovulation and Proliferative Phase

    • Rising levels of LH (Luteinizing hormone) stimulate ovulation.
    • Ovulation typically occurs on day 14 of a 28-day cycle.
    • The proliferative phase occurs approximately on days 6-14 of the menstrual cycle, ending with ovulation.

    Cell Division and Ovulation

    • Meiosis I is the type of cell division that occurs when the primary oocyte divides to become a secondary oocyte.
    • After ovulation, the tissue that surrounds the oocyte transforms into the corpus luteum.

    Corpus Luteum and Hormones

    • The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure that secretes progesterone and estrogen.
    • Estrogen is responsible for the thickening of the uterine lining during the proliferative phase.
    • Progesterone is responsible for the thickening of the uterine lining during the secretory phase.

    Menstrual Cycle Phases

    • Menarche is the first menstrual cycle or first menstrual bleeding in female humans.
    • Menses refers to the monthly uterine bleeding in the menstrual cycle.
    • Menses is the phase of the menstrual cycle where the uterine lining is shed, resulting in menstrual bleeding.
    • Menses typically occurs on days 1-5 of the menstrual cycle.
