Reproductive and Development

Male Reproductive

Female Reporductive (inner to outer)

Testes

Follicles: Oocyte surrounded by follicle cells

Uterine (Fallopian) tubes: Infundibilum, ampulla, isthmus

Uterus

Vagina

Urethera

Secondary organs

seminal vessicles

prostate gland

bulourethral glands

penis

Mentural Cycle

Ovulation

Luteal

Follicular phase

Day 1-13

inhibin release

Prevents excessive follicle developement

Primary follicle finishes Meiosis I

forms polar body and secondary oocyte

day 14 of 28 day cycle

Mature follicle releases secondary oocyte

Induced with peak LH secretion

day 15-28

Remaining follicles become corpus luteum

Temporary endocrine gland

secretes progesterone and estrogen

Prepares uterus for fertilized oocyte

Life span of 10-13 days if oocyte not fertilized

Meiosis

Meiosis 1

Meiosis 2

Metaphase 1

Anaphase 1

Prophase 1

Telophase 1

Replicated chromosomes pair up and form tetrad

Crossover of maternal and paternal chromosomes

shuffling of genetic material ensures genetic diversity

Homogulus pairs line up at equator of cell

spindle fibers extend from centriols and attach to each chromosome

Homogulus pairs of chromosomes separate and are pulled to opposite ends

Nuclear division finishes

two new cells are produced

each contains 23 replicated chromosomes

same as mitosis

Oogenesis

Childhood

Monthly from puberty to menopause

Before birth

Oogonia are diploid cells

Mitotic divisions produce primary oocytes

Primary oocytes start meiosis

Ovary inactve

houses primordial follicles

about 20 primordial follicles mature into primary follicles

some primary mature to secondary

one secondary matures

if secondary follicle fertilized it completes secondary mieotic division and becomes an ovum

Spermatogenesis

sperm develop from spermatogonia

Meiosis 1 begins and secondary spermatocyte formed

Meiosis 2 begins to produce spermatids

morphologic changes produce sperm

Development

Week three

Week four

Week Two

Month Two

Week One

Fertilization creates zygote

Cleavage of zygote

Morula- solid ball stage

Blastocyst hollow ball stage with inner cell mass

Implantation in endometrium of uterus

Chorionic villi appear

Inner cell mast forms embryonic disc with ectoderm, mesoderm, endodern

Amnion forms

Heart begins to form and beat

Neural tube forms

Somites form

Amnion nearly covers embryo

Chorion well developed

Spinal cord and brain form

Internal organs form

somites prestent

Embryo fully covered in amnion

Cartilage skeleton and muscles develop

Facial features appear

all internal organs complete with some fuctioning

Extremities develop

Cartilage Skeleton and muscles complete

placenta and umbilical cord function

Facial features nearly complete

Embryo assumes a human appearance

Third-Ninth Month

Bone tissue begins to replace cartilage

Embryo now fetus until birth

Sex detected at 9-12 weeks

Skin features and hair develop

Rapid growth all organs function except for respiratory and reproductive

Blood formation in bones begins

testosterone

stimulates libido and development of secondary sex characteristics

Estrogen

Initiates and maintains growth of functional layer of endometrium

Progesteron

increase blood vessel distribution, uterine gland size, and nutrient production
