Male and Female Reproductive Systems

Sexual Reproduction •We know that sexual reproduction needs TWO parents, a male and a female. Sexual reproduction also needs specialized sex cells, sperm and eggs.

•We will learn the specialized sex organs and how sperm and egg meet to create a new life!

Male Reproductive SystemFunction:

The male reproductive system is responsible for producing, storing, nourishing and transporting reproductive cells (sperm).

Anatomy: Male Reproductive System

Anatomy: Male Reproductive SystemProduction of SpermSperm is first made during puberty (about 12 – 14), in structures known as the testes.

TWO testes are found in a loose sac called the scrotum which is 2⁰C - 3⁰C cooler than normal body temperature for good sperm production

After sperm are made, they are stored in the epididymis which are coiled tubes on each testis.

Problems: Male Reproductive System

What if your vas deferens were cut? Sperm could not leave the body! Male will be infertile! This is called a Vasectomy

What if temperature of the scrotum was too warm?

Sperm will not form correctly Can lead to infertility or

reduced fertility This can happen with Varicose

Veins

After sperm are formed and storedWhen excited, blood flows into the penis and veins collapse creating

an erection. An erection is when the penis becomes rigid (hard).

Mature sperm move into the Vas deferens, which transports the sperm from the epididymis to the urethra by peristalsis.

As sperm move through the vas deferens and urethra there are three glands that add fluid to support the sperm and create semen

DO NOWWrite answer on top of page 2 in your note packetLets follow sperm.Put in order from where sperm start to where they are released:

•Testes

•Urethra

•Vas Deferens •Epididymis

Anatomy: Male Reproductive SystemSemen – milky white fluid that is ejaculated. Consists of sperm and supporting fluids from THREE main glands.

2. Prostate Gland - (30% of semen) Secretes basic fluid that helps

sperm move Contains muscle for support

1. Seminal Vesicle - (60% of semen) Secretes basic fluid to help neutralize the acidity in

the urethra and the vagina Nutrients in secretion for sperm

3. Bulbourethral Gland Secretes basic fluid and lubricating mucus. Activates sperm

Ejaculation: Male Reproductive System As sperm moves from the vas deferens to the urethra, collecting

fluids to become semen, a muscle closes the bladder to prevent urine and semen mixing

Muscle contractions (peristalsis) help release semen from the males body known as EJACULATION

The PENIS helps to deposit sperm in the VAGINA of the female which leads to the female gamete, the egg.

Several hormones contribute to the male reproductive process

In addition to sperm, the testes also produce the male hormone

Before birth, a male begins to make testosterone which causes the embryo to develop into a male rather than a female.

Testosterone levels are low until puberty

Testosterone

Hormones: Male Reproductive System

Hormones: Male Reproductive System

At puberty, testosterone levels rise.

What effect does this have on a male?1. Testosterone:Influencing the development of secondary male characteristicsMaintains reproductive tract Promotes sperm productionInfluences sex drive & behavior

Secondary male characteristics: broad shoulders, deep voice, facial hair, larger muscles, increased bone density, sperm production,

2. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Promotes / initiates sperm

production Pituitary gland

3. Luteinizing hormone (LH) Assists spermatogenesis and initiates

production of testosterone in the testes

Pituitary gland

4. Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)

Secreted by hypothalamus gland Causes pituitary to release FSH and LH Testosterone production is regulated

by

Hormones: Male Reproductive System

Negative Feedback

Does the body constantly produce testosterone?

Levels of Testosterone • Controlled by negative feedback• Regulated by GnRH

As levels of testosterone decrease in the blood….• GnRH is released• Stimulates the pituitary to release LH and

FSH• LH and FSH promote testosterone

production

As levels of testosterone increase in the blood….• GnRH secretion is shut off• No LH and FSH released• No testosterone production

Female Reproductive SystemFunction:

1. The female reproductive system is responsible for producing, storing, nourishing and transporting reproductive cells (eggs).

2. Includes structures to nourish and protect the fetus during pregnancy

DO NOW 10Label the parts of the Female Reproductive System

– Blank diagram on your note packet

Anatomy: Female Reproductive System

Parts & Terms to knowOvaries Female organ where egg cells (sex cells) are produced

Produces female sex hormones called estrogen and progesterone

Eggs cells mature in the ovaries in special clusters of cells called follicles.

Ovulation – when egg is mature, the ovary releases the egg cell into the fallopian tubes. Occurs once about every 28 days.

Female Reproductive System

Fallopian tubes Also called the Oviducts (5 inches)

Mature eggs released into fallopian tubes

Egg moves through fallopian tube by peristalsis and tiny hairs called cilia Fallopian tubes is where

FERTILIZATION happens!!

Fertilization – haploid egg and sperm join to make a diploid zygote

Zygote – fertilized egg

Parts & Terms to knowUterus Also called The Womb

Protects and nourished the fetus during development

Female Reproductive System

If fertilization happens – the fertilized egg or zygote attaches to the uterine wall

No fertilization – thickened uterine wall will shed in a process called menstruation

Parts & Terms to knowVaginaReceives the penis and semen during intercourse

This is where the developed fetus will exit the female body. This is known as birth.

Menstrual Cycle – NO fertilization

Menstrual CycleThe menstrual cycle:

In the human female, a mature egg develops and leaves one of the ovaries about every 28 days known as ovulation

During ovulation, the walls of the uterus have thickened with a rich supply of blood vessels and is prepared to accept a fertilized egg for development.

If the egg is not fertilized, the built-up portion of the uterine wall breaks down along with the unfertilized egg and passes out of the body through the vagina. This process is known as

Menstruation

Menstrual CycleThe menstrual cycle:

Begins at puberty around age 12 Temporarily stops during

pregnancyPermanently stops between the

ages of 40-45. This is known as menopauses

Menstrual cycle is controlled by interactions of 4 hormones1.FSH2.LH3.Estrogen 4.Progesterone

Menstrual CycleMenstruation is divided into 4 stages using these hormones:1.Follicle stage2.Ovulation stage3.Corpus luteum stage4.Menstruation stage

1. Follicle Stage

FSH and Estrogen levels increase in the body

1. Follicle Stage (Day 1- 13)FSH – Follicle Stimulating Hormone– Secreted by pituitary gland – Stimulates the development of an egg in a follicle in the ovary

called Oogenesis

1. Follicle Stage (Day 1 -13)Estrogen•(Day 7) As the egg matures and the follicle develops, ESTROGEN is secreted by the ovaries. •Estrogen stimulates the lining of the uterus to thicken and become rich in blood vessels

2. Ovulation (Day 14)Negative Feedback – high levels of Estrogen in blood “tells” the pituitary gland to decrease FSH secretion

Pituitary gland now secretes Luteinizing hormone (LH) which causes ovulation

3. Corpus Luteum (Day 15-27) After ovulation, cells fill the empty follicle to form a yellow body

called the corpus luteum. Corpus luteum secretes the hormone progesterone.

Progesterone - maintains the thickened uterine lining and prevents development of new follicles in the ovaries

4. Menstruation(Day 28)If fertilization does not occur:

LH levels decreaseThe Corpus luteum breaks down causing Progesterone levels to

decreaseMenstruation - decreased progesterone causes thickened uterine

walls to break down and shed out the vagina along with unfertilized egg

Last about 4 days

Label the hormonesWhy is progesterone high during the Corpus Luteum stage?

Fertilization and Development

What if Fertilization DOES occur?DO NOW 13In packet

Only 1 questions (few parts)

What if Fertilization DOES occur?

If fertilization occurs then the process of will not happen!

An egg will become fertilized. A fertilized egg is known as a _________

Menstruation

Zygote

Human FertilizationFertilization – 1 sperm fuses with 1 egg creating a zygoteHaploid Sperm + Haploid Egg = Diploid Zygote

Fertilization the Story Sperm are deposited in the vagina, travel past the cervix into

the uterus then finally into BOTH fallopian tubes.

Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube and creates variation! Any 1 of the 200 – 400 million unique sperm can fuse with the egg!

The fertilized egg is called a zygote

Fertilization the StoryCan more than one egg be fertilized?

Yes, if more than one egg is released

Fraternal Twins – 2 separate eggs are fertilized by different sperm

How are identical twins produced?

When one zygote divides into two separatecells (2 zygotes) during cleavage

After Fertilization

What happens after the egg has been fertilized in the fallopian tube?

Fertilized egg (zygote) travels through the rest of the fallopian tube and begins to divide by

Will every cell in the new baby have the EXACT same DNA? Why?

MITOSIS

Meiosis -> Fertilization -> Mitosis

As zygote travels in the oviduct, it begins a process called Cleavage

Cleavage - process in the Oviduct where the zygote divides by mitosis increasing the amount of cells (forming 2 cells, 4 cells and so on)

What do you notice about the size of the ball of cells as cleavage occurs?

The number of cells increase by the size of the diving zygote remains the same

Meiosis -> Fertilization -> MitosisAs cleavage occurs, a ball of about 50 cells forms the morula

Cells will keep on dividing into a hollow ball called the blastocyst

ZygoteMorula

Blastocyst

Fertilization – Cleavage - _____________After the zygote undergoes cleavage and becomes a blastocyst, what happens next?

Implantation

Implantation

Fertilization – Cleavage - Implantation

After implantation of the blastocyst into the wall of the uterus, a process known as gastrulation occurs.

Gastrulation:Blastocyst bend inwards and is called a gastrula The gastrula bends inwards and forms 3 different layers

The three layers will differentiate into specialized tissues and organs

What the layers become?

Internal Development

As the different body systems develop, the developing embryo needs nutrients!

Yolk Sac – Provides nutrients for the early embryo before the umbilical cord and placenta form

Eventually the placenta and umbilical cord form

Placenta & Umbilical CordPlacenta

Responsible for nourishing the fetus and removing fetal waste Filled with capillaries for _______________________

•__________________________ diffuse into the embryo’s blood from the mother (for nourishment)•________________________________ diffuse into the mothers blood for removal

Diffusion

Nutrients and Oxygen

Carbon Dioxide and other wastes

Placenta & Umbilical CordThe mother’s blood NEVER mixes with the blood of the fetus!!

Why?

Placenta & Umbilical CordUmbilical Cord

The placenta gets the nutrients The nutrients travel through the umbilical cord to the fetus

Placenta & DiffusionWhatever the mother takes in her body during pregnancy will diffuse into the growing fetus!

What does this mean:Mother smokes chemicals diffuse into fetusMother does drugs drugs diffuse into fetusMother eats pizza nutrients diffuse into fetus Mother breathes oxygen oxygen diffuses into fetusMother breathes carbon monoxide CO diffuses into fetusMother drinks alcohol alcohol diffuse into fetus

Placenta & DiffusionIf an adult smokes, it can cause cancer, poor circulation, and many other problems. What is damaged in cells from chemicals in cigarettes? Do you get as much oxygen per breath if you smoke?

This would be horrific for a developing fetus because cells are differentiating, meaning cells are growing and dividing into the actual tissues and major organs of the baby!!

If cell division is “messed up” organs will form incorrectly, not completely or not at all! Less oxygen = low birth weight!

Alcohol = #1 agent that causes defects• Alcohol shuts down adult livers!• Imagine the damage it can cause in a fetus

Do the data in the tables justify scientists' conclusions that alcohol causes physical abnormalities at birth by interfering with the normal development of the fetus? Defend your position with supporting data.

Baby is BornBaby is born after 9 months in humans!

The time the baby takes to develop is known as gestation.

If squeamish do not lookAfter the baby is born, the placenta will come out the vagina a few minutes after the baby

…here is what the placenta looks like after the baby is born
