what are the functions of the reprodictive system
Production of gametes (egg, sperm) • Secretion of sex hormones • Production of offspring • Nurturing of offspring (females produce milk)
what is the primary sex organ?
gonad
Gonads produce
gametes and sex hormones
Accessory reproductive organs
ducts, glands, supporting structures
Male Reproductive System consists of:
Male gonads and accesory reproductive organs
male gonads are
testes
what do ducts do
transport, storage, maturation of sperm
glands secrete...
seminal fluids
Seminal fluid+Sperm= ?
semen
supporting structures of the accsesory reproductive organs are
penis and scrotum
3 kinds of cells are present in the Testes
spermatogenic cells, sertoli cells, leydig cells
Seminiferous tubules are made of
spermatogenic cells and sertoli cells
spermatogenic cells form
sperm cells
sertoli cells...
nourishes the spermogenic cells
what do leyding cells make?
testosterone
Ducts of the male reproductive system deliver
sperm from testes to outside the body
1. epididymus
stores and matures the sperm
2. vas deferens
stores and conducts the sperm
3. ejaculatory duct
conducts sperm
4. urethra
carries sperm and urine out of the body
Glands secrete seminal fluid into ducts during ejaculation
1. Seminal vesicles 2. Prostate gland 3. Bulbourethral glands
supportive structures
penis and scrotum
What does the scrotum do?
helps regulate tempeture
Spermatogenesis
process of sperm production
where does Spermatogenesis take place?
seminiferous tubules
Diploid(2n)-
Having two sets of chromosomes
haploid (n)
Having one set of chromosomes
body cells are-
diploid
how many chromosomes do body cells have?
46 chromosomes
gametes are
haploid
how many chromosomes do gametes have
23 chromosomes
gamets+
meiosis
Spermatogenesis =
Meiosis & Spermiogenesis
Meiosis
cell division that produces haploid gametes
Meisosis
primary spermatocyte(2n)---
spermatids(n)
Spermiogenesis
physiclal changes that change to become sperm
Spermiogenesis
spermatids(n)---
sperm(n)
spermatigonium
primary speratocyte
2n
secondary spermatocyte
spermitids
n
(Male)
nucleus and acrosome are located in the...
head of sperm
The head carries
DNA
Mitochondria is located in the
midpiece
Flagella=
tail
Effects of Testosterone
Growth of repro organs• Male secondary sex characteristics• Stimulates spermatogenesis• Growth spurt• Sex drive
GNRH is made by the
hypothalamus
hypathalamul hormonally stimulates
antirior pituitary
Pituitary produces what hormones
FSH and LH
FSH targets
sertoli cells
LH
hormonally stiumilates leyding cells
sertoli cells make
ABP
ABP stores
testosterone
leyding cells produce
testosterone
ABP=
androgen binding protein
not a hormone
Female Reproductive System
femal gonads and accesory repro organs
1. Female gonads
ovaries produce eggs andsex hormones
2. Accessory repro organs:
ducts and mammory glands
ducts of the femal repro system
Fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina
Where does fertilization occur?
fallopian tubes
Layers of the Uterine Wall
1. Perimetrium 2. Myometrium 3. Endometrium
1. Perimetrium
covering of uterus. visceral Perimetrium
2, Myometrium
smooth muscle that contracts during labor
3, endometrium
a) stratum basalis b) stratum functionalis
lining made of mucus membrane
a) stratum basalis
perminent layer of endometrium
b) stratum functionalis
part of endometrium that changes with menstrual cycle
hormones that target functionalis
estrogen and progesteren
oxytosin and prostoglandins stimulate..
contractions in the myometrium
prolactin
milk production
ocytocin
milk ejection/release
Oogenesis
Process of egg formation
• Takes place in the ovaries
• Meiosis only
• Meiosis only
cell division
begins before baby is born
Female Reproductive Cycle consists of
2 cycles occurring at the same time
2 cycles are
The Ovarian Cycle
The Menstrual Cycle (or Uterine Cycle)
ovarian cycle
events taking place in ovaries
mestural cycle
events taking place in uterus
ovulation is the release of...
oocyte from follice
Menstrual cycle (or Uterine cycle)
events taking place in uterus
Ovulation day 14
Oocyte is released from follicle
Collapsed or ruptured follicle
corpus luteum
The Ovarian cycle
28 day cycle
Follicular phase
- Day 1-14 of cycle
- Growth of the follicle which secretes hormones
- Hormones secreted are ONLY estrogen hormones (affect menstrual cycle)
Luteal phase
- Day 15-28
- Corpus luteum secretes hormones
- Hormones secreted are estrogens and progesterone (Affect menstrual cycle)
Ovulation takes place in
mid cycle on day 14
Ovarian phases
- Follicular phase (day 1-14)
- Ovulation Phase (Day 14)
- Luteal Phase (Day 15-28)
Ovarian Cycle
Structural changes in vesicular ovarian follicles and the corpus luteum are correlated with changes in the endometrium of the uterus during the uterine cycle
Hormonal regulation of ovarian cycle
1. GnRH stimulates FSH and LH secretion
2. During Follicular phase (day 1-14)
3. During Luteal Phase (Day 15-28)
GnRH
releasing hormone released by Hypothalamus
FSH
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (Anterior Pituitary)
- stimulates follicle growth
LH
stimulates follicle to secrete estrogens
LH surge triggers
ovulation on day 13.5
LH stimulates corpus luteum to secrete
estrogen & progesterone
Follicular Day 1-14
(Ovulation Day 14)
Luteal Phase Day
Day 15-25
Fluctuation of gonadotropin levels
Fluctuating levels of pituitary gonadotropins in the blood regulate the events of the ovarian cycle
Hormones produced by ovaries
Estrogens and progesterone
Fluctuation of ovarian hormone levels
Fluctuating levels of ovarian hormones cause the endometrial changes of the uterine cycle. The high estrogen levels are also responsible for the LH/FSH surge.
The Uterine cycle
28 Day cycle
Menstrual phase
- 1-5 days
- stratum functionalis breaks down is shed in menstrual fluid
- No hormones
Proliferative phase
- 6-14 days
- stratum functionalis is rebuilt
- Estrogen
Secretory phase
- 15-28 days
- stratum functionalis thickens further, secretes glycogen (carbohydrate)
- Estrogen and progesterone
- Mature and ready to receive the egg
When is a female most fertile?
Day 14
