asexual reproduction in which an egg develops w/out being fertilized.
|
|
Know what a hermaphrodite is
Hermaphroditism |
Each individual has both male and female reproductive systems.
1. Any two individuals can mate (donating and receiving sperm) 2. Any individual is capable of self-fertilization |
|
Difference between external and internal fertilization
External Fertilization |
The female releases eggs into the environment where the male then fertilizes them
1. Requires moist habitat a. prevents desiccation b. swimming sperm 2. Triggered by chemical signals 3. Triggered by environmental cues |
|
Difference between external and internal fertilization
Internal Fertilization |
Sperm are deposited in or near the female reproductive tract and fertilization occurs w/ in the tract.
1. Requires compatible repdroductive systems 2.Requires cooperative mating behavior |

|
Know male and female reproductive anatomy
Scrotum |
pouch of skin outside the abdomen that houses the testes (keeps sperm fertile)

|
Know male and female reproductive anatomy
Seminal Vesicles |
60% volume of semen; contains mucus, fructose, coagulating enzyme, ascorbic acid, prostaglanding
|
|
Know male and female reproductive anatomy
Prostate gland |
thin, milky, fluid that contains an anticoagulant enzymes and citrate.
|
|
Know male and female reproductive anatomy
Prostate Cancer |
afflicts over 50% of men over 65
1. non-cancerous, benign enlargement of prostate on over 50% of men over 40. |
|
Spermatogenesis
|
Formation and development of sperm cells.
a. continuos and prolific in adult males b. new sperm are created everyday c. process takes about 7 weeks-completed before sperm leaves testes |
|
Oogenesis
|
formation and development of mature eggs.
a. begins at puberty, ends at menopause. b. females are born with all their eggs. c. pauses at birth, resumes at puberty, takes 28 days to mature (upon stimulation from sperm) |
|
Menstrual Cycle
|
Uterus prepares for possible implantation of the embryo
|
|
Ovarian Cycle
|
controls maturation and release of egg from the ovaries.
|
|
Embryo
|
Developmental stage from first division zygote until body structures begin to appear. (9th week)
|
|
Fetus
