Overview of Human Reproductive System

The document outlines the reproductive system, detailing the structures and functions of male and female reproductive organs, including gamete production and hormonal functions. It describes the processes of spermatogenesis and oogenesis, as well as the stages of ovarian follicle development and fertilization. Additionally, it touches on the anatomy of the female reproductive tract and the role of various structures in reproduction and fetal development.

Reproductive System

- sexual reproduction
- produce sex cells (Gametes)
- Gonads (testes & ovaries)

Male
- ducts, sex glands, gonads(Testis)
- scrotum (maintain temperature)
- epididymis (sperm maturation
- seminal vesicle and prostate
- penis
- urethra

Female
- ovaries
- sex cells and release of hormone
- small;
- almond side
- Tunica Albuginea
- cortex
- found inside
- ovarian follicle
- medulla
- CT, Blood vessels and Lymphatics
- covered by peritoneum
- GERMINAL EPITHELIUM

OVARIAN FOLLICLE
- Primordial Follicle
- squamous

- Priamry Follicle
- primary oocyte
- cuboidal cells
- Granulosa Cells
- release of estrogens

- Secondary Follicle
- Antral follicle
- may cavity ( Antrum )

- Mature Follicles
- graafian Follicle

- Ovulation or release of oocyte

Oocyte
- a cell

Ovum
- largest cell
- Germinal vesicle ( Nucleus)

Zona Pellucida
- outer protection
- barrier crossed by sperm

Corona Radiata
Corpus Luteum
- after ovulation
- P,E, R, I

Corpus Albicans
- scar tissue made of

Increased in size

Antrum development

Oogenesis
- formation of female gametes
- oogonia > primary oocyte > ending with mature oocyte
- start even if at mothers womb

Stop at meiosis I prophase


- before puberty no hormones yet

2 million eggs cell at birth


40,000 left
400 in women's life

2n- diploid
n- haploid

due to meiosis 1, it becomes 1

1 spermatogoneum = 4 sperm cells

1 only in

Spermatogensis only in Puberty


- continuous until death

Oogenesis

Menopause
Menarchy

- Fallopian Tube
- pathway of sperm, ovaries
- uterine tube
- 4 inch in size
- between ovary and uterus
ampulla
- date of egg and sperm cells
- ectopic pregnancy
- zygote must comeback to
- thin walls
- 2 to 3 motnhs or gestation
- cilia and smooth muscles for properling zygote, sperm

Fertilization
- 24 hours after ovulation

Zygote reaches uterus about 7 days after ovulation


- urinary tract
transitional

Fertilization
1. increase ciliation
2. increased water current

- catch the oocyte to the ovary

200 million sperm cells per ejaculation

the pH is acidic in vagina


- harmful to sperm

Cervix
- alkali pH
- cervical mucus

only 300-500 reach the ovum, burrowing the egg

hyaluronidase

one 1 can successfully enter

Fraternal Twins
-
Identical Twins
- 1 sperm
- 1 egg
- separate into two

- Labia Majora
- Labia Minora
- Vestibule
