Reproduction in animal kingdom
asexual, sexual reproduction.
Asexual reproduction
generation of new individuals without the fusion of egg and sperm, relies almost entirely on mitotic divisions.
Sexual reproduction
fusion of haploid gametes to form a diploid cell, the zygote.
Egg
Female gamete
Sperm
Male gamete
Mechanisms of invertebrate asexual reproduction
fission, budding, fragmentation, regeneration, parthenogenesis.
Invertebrate fission
separation of a parent organism into two individuals of approximately equal size. ex... sea anemone
Invertebrate budding
new individuals arise from out growths of existing ones. ex... hydra.
Invertebrate fragmentation
breaking of the body into several pieces.
Invertebrate Regeneration
regrowth of lost body parts. ex.. starfish growing new arms.
Invertebrate parthenogenesis
asexual reproduction in which an egg develops without being fertilized. ex... bees goes both ways asexual and sexual.
Ovulation
release of mature eggs occurring at the midpoint of each cycle, occurs when sufficient energy sources and environmental conditions are ideal.
Ovulation Environmental cues
photoperiodism, temperature changes, rainfall, lunar cycles.
Hermaphroditism
Each individual has both male and female reproductive systems, any two individuals can mate (donating and receiving sperm), and are capable of self-fertilization.
Fertilization
union of sperm and egg.
External fertilization
the female releases egg into the environment where the male then fertilizes them. requires a moist habitat to prevent desiccation and to allow sperm to swim, triggered by chemical signals, triggered by environmental cues.
Internal Fertilization
sperm are deposited in or near the female reproductive tract and fertilization occurs within the tract, requires compatible reproductive system and cooperative mating.
Internal Fertilization few gametes
higher survival rate of zygotes.
Internal Fertilization zygotes
are sheltered from potential predators.
Internal Fertilization eggs
are surrounded by a calcium and protein containing shell, prevents physical damage, prevents water loss.
Internal Fertilization embryo
is retained for a portion of its development within the female reproductive tract.
Marsupials
short gestation, completing development in pich attached to a mammary gland.
Eutherians
long gestation, remaining in the uterus, receiving nutrients through the placenta by the mother's blood supply.
Reproductive Systems
Gonads, cloaca, spermatheca.
Gonads
organs that produce gametes
Cloaca
single urogenital opening
Spermatheca
sac in which sperm may be stored within the female reproductive system for extended periods. ex... queen bee's.
Vagina
Repository for sperm; birth control
Cervix
neck of uterus-opens into vagina
Uterus
muscular organ that serves as site for pregnancy (womb)
Endometrium
thick, muscular wall containing a blood-rich layer of tissue that lines the uterus.
Endometriosis
Disorder in which some cells of the uterine lining migrate to an abnormal abdominal location.
Ovary
Female Gonad, produces eggs
Follicle
Structure on ovary, contains partially developed egg surrounded by support cells.
Oviduct (Fallopian tubes)
catches egg and delivers it to the uterus.
Mammary glands
present in both sexes, but only produce milk in females.
Testes
male gonads; produces sperm.
Scrotum
pouch of skin outside the abdomen that houses the testes (keeps sperm fertile)
Penis
Copulatory structure in male.
Semen
fluid that is ejaculated from the male during orgasm (5%= 200-500 million sperm; 95% fluid secreted by glands)
Seminal Vesicles
60% volume of semen; contains mucus, fructose, coagulating enzyme, ascorbc acid, prostaglandins.
Prostate Gland
thin, milking fluid that contains anticoagulant enzymes and citrate.
Prostate Cancer
afflicts over 50% of men over 65 (most common human cancer).
Noncancerous prostate cancer
benign enlargement of prostate in over 50% of men over 40.
Gametogenesis
spermatogenesis, oogenesis, ovarian cycle, menstrual cycle, menopause.
Spermatogenesis
formation and development of sperm cells, continuous and prolific in adult males, new sperm are created every day, process takes about 7 weeks-completed before sperm leaves testes.
Oogenesis
formation and development of mature eggs, begins at puberty and ends at menopause, females are born with all their eggs, pauses at birth and resumes at puberty, takes 28 days to mature.
Ovarian Cycle
controls maturation and release of the egg from the ovaries.
Menstral (uterine) cycle
preparing the uterus for the possible implantation of an embryo. If pregnancy does not occur, the uterine lining is sloughed off, and another cycle begins
Menopause
Cessation of menstuation and ovulation, ends approx after 500 cycles, occurs from the ages of 45-55 years.
Gestation
carring of one or more developing embryos in the uterus.
Embryo
developmental stage from first division of zygote until body structures begin to appear (9th week)
Fetus
Developmental stage from the 9th week until birth
Placenta
Organ that provides nourishment and oxygen to the embryo; helps dispose of metabolic wastes.
First Trimester
all major organs, body parts, limbs with finger, toes are developing, heart beings beating during this stage, fetus is approx 5cm long.
Second trimester
General refinement of human features, fingernails, toenails, and hair are present, eyes are open, and teeth are forming, fetus is approx 30 cm long and weighs about 0.5kg pound.
Third Trimester
Circulatory/ respiratory system undergo changes to start breathing air, fetus rotates, pointing downward, at birth babies on average are 50 cm long and weigh 3-4 kg.
Labor
Series of strong rhythmic contractions that result in the birth of the baby.
Estrogen
triggers formation of oxytocin receptors
Oxytocin
Stimulates contraction in uterine walls
Infertility In Males
Low sperm count, defective sperm, erectile dysfunction.
Infertility In Females
Lack of eggs or failure to ovulate, blocked oviducts, hormonal imbalances.
Contraception
ways to prevent pregnancy
Sexually transmitted diseases
Contagious disease spread through sexual contact.
Viral STDs
ability to infect others and remain throughout a person's life, can be controlled by medication but generally not curable. ex. HIV, HSVI and HSVII
Excretion
Elimination of Metabolic waste products, especially N-containing compounds.
Protonephridia (platyhelminthes) *flatworms*
Network of dead-end tubules lacking internal openings. Water, solutes enter flame bulb where filtration occurs. Urine is moved through tubules, exiting through nephridopores. Function = osmoregulation.
Metanepheridia (annelids) *roundworms*
Tubules with internal openings, fluid is filtered through nephrostomes and collecting tubules before exiting through nephridiopores as urine. Functions= osmoregulation, excretion.
Malpighian Tubules (Anthropods)
