- Male: Testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, penis
- Female: Ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina
- Functions of primary and secondary sex organs
2. Gametogenesis
- Spermatogenesis: Occurs in seminiferous tubules, regulated by FSH & testosterone
- Oogenesis: Begins before birth, completes upon fertilization, regulated by LH & FSH
3. Menstrual Cycle
- Phases: Menstrual (1-5), Follicular (6-13), Ovulatory (14), Luteal (15-28)
- Hormones: Estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH
- Corpus luteum formation and regression
4. Fertilization and Implantation
- Fertilization in ampulla of fallopian tube
- Zygote -> Morula -> Blastocyst
- Implantation in endometrium
5. Embryonic Development
- Gastrulation, formation of germ layers
- Placenta formation: exchange of nutrients, gases, wastes
- Role of hCG, hPL, estrogen, progesterone
6. Parturition and Lactation
- Parturition: Uterine contractions, role of oxytocin
- Lactation: Initiated by prolactin, milk ejection by oxytocin
