Learn about the intricacies of sexual reproduction in humans, from gametogenesis to twins and embryonic development. Explore male and female reproductive systems, fertilization, menstrual cycle, and types of asexual reproduction. Discover how plants and certain organisms reproduce without fertilization.

Humans • Sexual Reproduction • Involves _____ parents • Increases genetic _________
REVIEW • Gametogenesis is the formation of male and female ________________. • Female = ____________ • Male = ______________ • Occurs by the process of __________ • Reduces chromosome # by ___________
Male Reproductive System • Testes • Male gonads • Makes sperm • Contained in scrotum
Male Reproductive System • Vas Deferens • Carries sperm from testes to urethra • When this tube is cut, it is called a vasectomy
Male Reproductive System • Prostate Gland • Secretes a fluid that nourishes sperm and produces semen • Seminal Vesicle makes fluid that contains proteins, enzymes, fructose, mucus, vitamin C and other chemicals.
Male Reproductive System • Penis • Deposits sperm into female reproductive tract
Female Reproductive System • Ovaries • Female gonads • Make eggs (contained in follicles) • Once a woman stops making viable eggs, she is no longer fertile and has gone through menopause • Fun Fact: A girl is born with about 400,000 immature ova already formed in the ovaries. Only about 400 will mature into eggs in her lifetime.
Female Reproductive System • Fallopian Tubes/Oviduct • Egg is pulled into oviduct by cilia • Site of fertilization
Female Reproductive System • Uterus (womb) • Muscular organ where fertilized egg implants and develops • Cervix is opening to uterus • It dilates during birth
Female Reproductive System • Vagina • Passageway for sperm • Birth canal
Female Reproductive System • Menstrual Cycle • Begins between ages of 10-14 • A mature egg is released from follicle in ovary every 27-30 days
Female Reproductive System • Menstrual Cycle (continued) • 4 Stages • 1. Follicle Stage • Egg matures in ovary • 2.Ovulation • Follicle bursts & egg is released • 3. Corpus Luteum Stage • Hormones cause progesterone to be made, which stimulates thickening of uterine wall • 4. Menstruation • Shedding of uterine wall (if fertilized egg is not present)
Fertilization • Egg and Sperm meet in oviduct • Zygote is formed • Zygote undergoes mitosis (cleavage) and becomes embryo
Development • 1. Zygote • 7. Blastula • 11. Gastrula
Gastrula Ectoderm-Skin and Nervous System Mesoderm-Muscles and Heart Endoderm-Digestive Tract and Respiratory System
Development • Twins • Identical Twins: • 1 egg and 1 sperm • Fertilized egg splits • Fraternal Twins: • 2 eggs and 2 sperm
Development • Once the zygote travels to the uterus, it implants itself in the uterine wall. • The placenta provides an exchange of materials between the mother and embryo. • Placenta is connected to embryo by umbilical cord
External Fertilization/Development • In fish, external fertilization and development
Internal Fertilization/External Development • Frogs and Birds
Asexual Reproduction • Mitosis produces exact copies • Involves 1 “parent”
Types of Asexual Reproduction • Binary Fission • Budding • Sporulation • Regeneration • Parthenogenisis • Vegetative Propogation
Parthenogenesis • Certain organisms can reproduce without fertilization • Ex. Bees, worms, snails, etc.
Vegetative Propagation • Plants (aka vegetables) can reproduce new offspring without fertilization • Runners • Bulbs • Tubers • Cuttings • Grafting
Runners • Stems grow out of the existing stems
Bulbs • Bulbous root is underground and stores food and sprouts a new plant
Tubers • Underground root that has stored starch which is used to feed new growths
Cuttings and Grafting • Cuttings and graftings are “artificial” • Cuttings use a part of the root, stem or leaf to re-grow a new plant. • Graftings take a cutting from one plant and attaches it to a different plant
