Male gamete -


female -

- sperm


- oocyte

Fertiliazation:


Males -


Females -

- Duct system nourishes sperm/ penis deposites sperm in females.


- receives sperm and transport to site of uterine tube.

Development of human:


females only -

- baby remain in uterus until birth


- provides nourshment after birth.

PRoduction of reproductive hormones


Same for male and female -

produce testosterone

lubricates

Pathway of sperm -

Testes,


Epididymis,

urethra

Why does sperm have to be kept at a certain temp?

Sperm for optimal development and to keep themfunctioning properly. Sperm production is at a lower temperature than the body.

Sperm cells plus thesecretions from accessory glands.

functions of parts of sperm:


Head -


Midpeice -


Tail -

- contain DNA


- mitochondria - to produce energy; contractile proteins - use the energy


- motility

How a penile erection occurs:


The corpus spongiosum and the corpus cavernosum become engorged with blood which causes vasodilation in blood vessels.

Erection -


sympathetic or sympathetic?

para

Steps of an erection are similar to steps in

neuromsucular junction

steps of an erectiion -

acetylcholine is released from vesicles,


binds to G- protein


- relazes smooth muscle cells - vasodilation



Another way -

Nitric Oxide binds to an guanylate cyclase that will relax smooth muscle cells

Similarity to emission and ejaculation -

both sympathetic.

Proper order of a males turned on -

erection, emission, and ejaculation

Emission is the -

discharge of semen into the urethra.

Ejaculation -

the expulsion of seman from urethra

Ejaculation -


needs what two things?

It has a somatic motor component


Pudendal nerve

GnRH


LH


FSH


ICSH

GnRH: gonadotrpoin releasing hormone


secreted from?


effects what organ?


regulated by?


released in?

hypothalamus


anterior pituitary


negative feedbacl


intervals.

LH - lutinizing hormone:


secreted from?


acts on?



anterior pituitary gland


interstitial cells to testosterone

FSH - follicle stimulating hormone:


secreted from?


acts on ?

anterior pituitary gland


semineferous tubules to produce sperm

ICSH -

interstitial cell stimulated hormone

7 effects of testosterone on puberty for men -

1. Axillary and pubic hair


2. Apocrine and sebaceous sweat glands


3. Growth of bones and muscles


4. Voice - deepening


5. Sex drive


6. Enlarged external genitalia


7. Increased metabolism.

testosterone is regulated both by

postive and negative

Erection:


para or sympath?


releases?


vaso?


stimulates what nerve?

parasympathetic


AcH


Vasodilation


pudendal

Emission:


para or symp?


what is it?

sympathetic


- entry of semen into the urethra.

Ejaculation:


para or symp?


due to ?

sympathetic


the contraction of skeletal muscles in the urogenital diaphragm.

Orgasm -

release of endorphins and dopamine

Resolution -

everything goes back to normal

Functions of next few:


Ovaries -

secrete estrogen, progesterone, oocytes


- ovogenesis and ovulation

Uterine tubes -

fertilization of egg

Fimbriae -

increase surface area to receive ovulated oocyte.

Mucosa -

transportation

Uterus -

implanation, menstruation

Perimetrium -

protects from friction

Myometrium -

contraction and expulsion

Endometrium -

provides support to the developing embryo.

Broad ligament -

anchors uterus and fallopian tubes

7 changes of female during puberty

1. Pubic/axillary hair


2. Fat deposits


3. Growth in height


4. Menarche - menstruation


5. External genitalia enlarge


6. Hormone secretion - estrogen and progesterone


7. The voice deepens.

Stages of ovarian follicular development -

Primordial follicle


primary follicle


secondary follicle


vesicular follicle


Corpus luteum


Corpus albicians

Cells in first four stage of ovarian development:

1. primary oocyte


2. primary oocyte


3. Primary oocyte


4. Primary oocyte, unless ovulated, then secondary oocyte.

corpus luteum:


secretes?


that secretion does what?

progesterone


- prepares the lining of the uterus to accept an impanted trophoblast for a developing embryo

The peak amount of eggs that you have is around what time?

In utero at month 4

Ovulation -

To release the secondary oocyte into the fallopian tube

What hormones trigger ovulation?


What do they hormones tell it to do?

LH/FSH - allows the primary oocyte to finish meiosis 1
