20 Cards in this Set

Oviparous

* Fertilized eggs are deposited outside of mothers body to complete development
* Obtain all nourishment from egg and are fully developed when hatch

Ovo-viviparous

* Fertilized eggs are retained inside mothers body to complete development
* eggs develop internally but young feed on yolk

Viviparous

Young develop inside mother and obtain nourishment from mother blood

Simultaneous Hermaphrodites

Can produce egg and sperm at same time

Sequential Hermaphrodites

Animals can change sexes

Parthenogenesis

* Form of asexual reproduction
* Females produce offspring from unfertilized eggs

Marsupials

* Vivparous
* Fetal development completed in pouch
* uterus not specialized for implantation although a placenta does not exist for a few days in a few species

Placental

* Viviparous
* Fetal development completed in uterus
* More completely developed at birth

Estrous cycle

female receptive to male around ovulation

Menstrual cycle

females menstruate; receptive to male at any time

LH male

* Targets lytic cells in testes and triggers testosterone secretion
* Testosterone promotes and maintains secondary sexual characteristics and stimulates spermatogenesis
* Testosterone Stimulates negative feedback on LH secretion

LH female

* Surge in LH halfway through ovarian cycle trigger ovulation

FSH male

* Targets sertoli cells
* Sertoli cells stimulate sperm development and release inhibin
* Inhibin promotes negative feedback on FSH secretion

FSH female

* LH and FSH start the ovarian cycle

HCG

* If fertilization does occur the embryo prevents regression of carpus ileleum by releasing HCG
* Menstruation is then presented
* Hormone tested for in most pregnancy tests
* released by the gastrula

Fecundity

number of offspring produced

Monotremes

egg laying mammals (oviparous)

Advantages to fertilization

* Genetic diversity
* Population cohesivness
* adaptive alleles

Asexual

* Budding
* Fragmentation
* Parthenogenesis

progesterone

* Once inplanted the placenta produces progesterone

Keeps menstrual cycle from happen
* Maintains endomentrium
* Provents ovulation
* Evidence that females immune system response against fetus suppressed
