What is Asexual reproduction

when a single parent gives rise to offspring that are genetically identical

Sexual reproduction involve the production and fusion of what

Gametes (sperm and eggs)

When sperm and egg unite they form what?

Zygote

What are the 4 types of Asexual reproduction that we talk about?

1. Budding


2. Fission


3. Fragmentation


4. Parthenogenesis

What is budding?

a small part of hte parents body grows out and develops into a new individual


What is an organism that shows budding?

Hydra

What is fission?

one organism splits into two organisms


What is frgmentation?

organisms get broken into pieces which develop into whole organisms

what is an organism that shows fragmentation

starfish

What is parthenogensis?

an unfertilized egg develops into an adult animal

What organism shows fission?

amoeba

What is an organism that shows parthenogenesis?

bees and wasps, fishes, reptiles, amphibians

What are the 3 types of sexual reproduction that we need to know?

External fertilization


Internal fertilization


Hermaphroditism

What is external fertilization


Gametes meet outside the body.

What is an organism that shows external fertilization?

aquatic animals like frogs

What is internal fertilization?

the male delivers sperm directly into the body of the female

What organism show internal fertilization

most mammals (i.e. lions, ducks, humans, etc.)

What is hermaphroditism?

a single individual produces both egg and sperm

What organism shows hermaphroditism ?

Worm

What are pros and cons of reproduction?

Pros: Genetic variability and good for a changing environment



Cons: not energy efficient


not good for stable enviornments

What do the testes do?

Tissues responsible for hormone and sperm production

What does the penis do?

houses urethra for urination and ejaculation of sperm

Where does sperm production take place? Where is it stored?

1. seminiferous tubules


2. epidiymis

Why is the scrotum so important?

spermatogenesis can't take place at body temperature

What are the steps in spermatogenesis?

1. spermatogenoia divide by mitosis


2. primary spermatocytes begin meiosis, divide once


3. secondary spermatocytes continue meiosis, divide again


4. Spermatids mature into sperm (spermiogenesis)

What do interstitial cells do in the seminiferous tubules?

secrete testosterone

What do sertoli cells do?

produce signaling molecules and a fluid that nourishes sperm cells

What are the two things that the head of a sperm contain?

pronuclues and acrosomes



acrosome contains enzymes that help penetrate the egg

What are the 3 main structures of sperm?

1. Head


2. Mitochondria


3. Flagellum

What is the sequence of ducts that sperm travel through?

1. Seminiferous Tubules


2. Epididymis


3. Vas Deferens


4. Ejaculatory duct


5. Urethra

What are the two types of erectile tissue?

1. Cavernous bodies


2. Spongy body

What does FSH do in the Testes?

Stimulate Sertoli cells to initiate spermatogenesis

What does LH do in the Testes?

stimulates interstitial cells to secrete testosterone

What are the 6 structures in the female reproductive system you need to know

1. Ovaries


2. Oviducts


3. Uterus


4. Vagina


5. Vulva


6. Breast

Where does oogenesis take place?

Ovaries

Where does Fertilization take place?

Oviducts (fallopian tube)

What are the walls of the Uterus Called?

Endometrium

What 5 structures are included in the Vulva?

1. Labia Majora


2. Labia Minora


3. Vesitbule


4. Clitoris


5. Mons Pubis

What are the steps in Oogensis?

Oogonium --> Primary oocyte --(first meiotic division)--> Secondary oocyte --(Second meiotic division)-->ootid --> Ovum



*after secondary oocyte is when fertilization occurs

How long is typical menstrual cycle and how is it broken down?

28 days



first two weeks -->preovulatory phase


Ovulation occurs --> day 14


Last two weeks --> postovulatory phase

What is FSH and LH doing during the preovulatory phase?

1. stimulates follicle cells to mature and produce estrogen.

What happens when estrogen is at its peak during the preovulatory phase?

exerts positive feedback on Lh and FSH, causing them to spike

What is LH doing during postovulatory phase?

promotes development of the corpus luteum

What is the corpus luteum doing during postovulatory phase?

secretes progesterone and estrogen, which strongly inhibits FSH and LH

What happens if fertilization does not occur?

the corpus luteum degenerates, hormone levels fall and menstruation occurs

What are the two layers of the follicle that sperm must pass through in order to gain access to the egg

1. Corona Radiata


2. Zona pellucida

What is Human Chorinoic gonadotropin (hCG)?

hormone that maintains the corpus luteum

Why is it important for Estrogen and Progesterone to remain high throughout the pregnancy?

1. Progesterone inhibits uterine contractions to prevent early expulsion of fetus


2. Estrogen maintains and develops uterine wall

What STDs are Bacterial?

Gonorrhea and Syphilis

What STDs are viruses?

Chlamydia, Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), Genital herpes, and HIV
