Reproduction

Is the creation of new individuals from existing ones.

Asexual reproduction

Is reproduction without sex


Creates offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

eliminates the needs to find a mate. allows a population to perpetuate itself if its individual members are isolated from one another and permits organisms to multiply quickly without spending time or energy producing sperm and eggs.

Is a type of asexual reproduction.


Produces offspring by the outgrowth and eventual splitting off of a new individual from the parent.

Fussion

_______ is the breaking of a parent body into several pieces.

Fragmentation.

are the sites of gamete producation

The ovaries contains____ consisting of a single egg surrounded by cells that nourish and protect it.

Follicles

The Follicles also produces estrogen, the female sex hormonoe

During ovulation, an immature egg,

is ejected from a follicle and enters the oviduct, where fertilization typically occurs.

The remains of the follicle grow to form a solid mass, the _____ which secretes hormones during the reproductive cycle

Corpus Luteum

The Uterus is the what?

the actual site of pregnancy and lined by a think blood-rich layer of tissues.

the endometrium is where an ?

embryo implants and grow

An embryo for the

first nine weeks

An the fetus is from

the 9th week to until birth

The cervix

is the narrow neck at the bottom of the pear-shaped uterus and opens into the vagina

Gametogenesis

use meiosis and produces haploid celles called gametes

Humans have

diploid cells with 46 chromosomes.


haploid cells with 23 chromosomes

How many chromosomes do we have in our body?

Spermatogensis

is the formation of sperm cells and it occurs in the seminiferous tubules inside the testes.

The Primary spermatocytes are

diploid cells


undergo meiosis 1 and produces secondary spermatocytes

Secondary spermatocytes undergo _____, each with haploid from each primary spermatocyte

Meiosis II

Is the development of eggs within the ovaries

Oogensis

A primary Oocyte

is a diploid cell that pauses during prophase of Meiosis I

can be triggered to develop further by the hormone FSH to produce

a secondary oocyte


a small polar body with almost no cytoplasm.

Meiosis II produces

a mature ovum


another polar body

Both oogenesis and spermatogensis produce ____

haploid gametes

Look at thee notes for the differences.

Spermatogenesis produces ___ gametes from each diploid parent cell

Four

Oogenesis produces only___ gamete from each diploid parent cell

One

Sperm are what ?


While eggs are what?

S- are small and motile


E-are large nonmotile

Human females have a reproductive cycle, a recurring series of event that ?

produces gametes


makes eggs available for fertilization and prepares the body for pregnancy.

The female reproductive cycle is actually two cycles in one

1. the ovarain cycle controls the growth and release of an egg and 2. the menstrual cycle prepares the uterus for possible of an embryo.

Homonal messages coordinate what?

the ovarian and menstrual cycles

Menstruation is

uterine bleeding


caused by breakdown of the endometrium

Two issues of human reproductive health are?

contraception and sexually transmitted diseases. ( STD)

What is the only totally effective method of contraception

Complete abstinence

prevents sperm from reaching an egg and is very reliable

Sterilization surgery

The oviducts are cut and tied off in a

tubal ligation

The vas deferens are cut, preventing sperm from reaching the urethra is called what?

in a vasectomy

is also called the rhythm method or natural family planning and depends on refraining from intercourse during the days around ovulation.

Temporary abstinence

Sexually transmitted diseases are?

contagious diseases and spread by sexual contact.

Viral STD

cannot be cured but can be controlled by medication and include-- AIDS, genital herpes and genital warts

Chlamydia

is the most common bacterial STD in the untied states

may lead to pelvic inflammatory and infertility and can be easily treated with a single dose of an antibiotic

uterus


oviduct

A blastocyst

forms about 6 -7 days after fertilization and consists of a fluid-filled hollow ball.


a small clump of inner cells called the inner cells mass,which eventually form a fetus.

2. yolk sac- which produces the first blood cells first gamete-production cells in the gonads.


3. the allantois-which helps form the umbilical cord.


4. the chorion, which contributes to the placenta.

The placenta

develops fingerlike chorionic villi that absorb nutrients and oxygen from the mothers blood and passes these substances to the embryo and allows protective antibodies to pass from the mother to the fetus.
