HUMAN
REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
• It is the organ system by
which humans reproduce
and bear live offspring.
• consists the male and the
female reproductive
systems.
• necessary to continue
race and produce
offspring.
ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF
THE SYSTEM
• liberation of an ovum, or egg, at a specific
time in the reproductive cycle
• internal fertilization of the ovum by
spermatozoa, or sperm cells
• transport of the fertilized ovum to the
uterus, or womb
• implantation of the blastocyst, the early
embryo developed from the fertilized ovum,
in the wall of the uterus
ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF
THE SYSTEM
• formation of a placenta and maintenance
of the unborn child during the entire period
of gestation
• birth of the child and expulsion of the
placenta
• suckling and care of the child

2. Antral Stage
• The Antrum, which is a
region made up of cellular
fluids known as secondary
follicles, undergoes
development twice a mont
• two essential hormones
such as the luteinizing
hormone, and the follicle-
stimulating hormone is
necessary for the process.
3. Pre-Ovulatory Stage
• starts the production
of two unequal
haploid cells, that
are located in the
follicle.
3. Pre-Ovulatory Stage
• Now in the two cells,
only one receives the
lesser cytoplasm,
while the other takes
part in ovum
formation.
3. Pre-Ovulatory Stage
• Thus the cell with a
polar body multiplies
into two, while the
other arrests the
secondary cell in the
meiosis-2 phase.
4. Ovulation Stage
• development of
oocytes occurs in
the ovaries
• number of follicle
cells in the ovaries
increases rapidly
5. Fertilization
• a third polar body is
generated, instead of
oocytes degenerating
over some time while
being stuck in the
meiosis-II cell division.
