  1. Sex, Reproduction, & Development

  2. Smoking and PregnancyIn The News

  3. Types of Reproduction • Sexual reproduction • Union of male & female gametes (sex cells) • Each parent supplies half genetic material • Asexual reproduction • No union of gametes • Cloning, unless there is mutation

  4. Asexual Reproduction • Occurs in all 3 domains of life • Disadvantage • Genetic sameness means less survival with changing environments • Variability only due to mutation • Advantage • Individuals can reproduce

  5. Asexual Reproduction

  6. Binary Fission • Dividing of individual into two • Common in: • Archaea • Bacteria • Many protists

  7. Asexual Reproduction by Spores • Common in fungi • Life cycle with sexual & asexual stage

  8. Asexual Reproduction by Budding • Occurs in sponges, jellyfish & anemones

  9. Asexual Reproduction by Fragmentation • Occurs in flatworms & sea stars • Fragments regenerate new parts

  10. Parthenogenesis • Eggs develop without fertilization • Some species engage in behaviors simulating mating

  11. Sexual Reproduction • Prevalent among most vertebrates • Common in many invertebrates • Zygote • Fusion of haploid egg & sperm cells • Produces diploid cell

  12. Hermaphrodite • Both male & female in same body • Some can reproduce by self-fertilization • Forms of hermaphrodite • Simultaneous • Sequential

  13. Modes of Fertilization • External Fertilization • Female sheds eggs • Male fertilizes eggs after they leave her body

  14. Modes of Fertilization • Internal Fertilization • Male deposits sperm in or near the female reproductive tract • Eggs are fertilized in female’s body

  15. Human Reproduction • Sexual with internal fertilization • Gonads = reproductive organs • Male – testes • Female –ovaries • Other organs transport & receive sex cells • Accessory glands facilitate reproduction

  16. Production of Sperm • Testes • Housed in scrotum • Placement allows for development • Temperature must be lower than body

  17. Testes Structure • Composed of seminiferous tubules • Site of sperm production (spermatogenesis) • Sperm production triggered by follicle stimulating hormone • Spermatogonia give rise to sperm cells

  18. Spermatogenesis • Spermatogonia undergo mitosis • Some daughter cells undergo meiosis

  19. Epididymis • Site of sperm cell storage • 18 hours to 10 days • Unused sperm cells are reabsorbed

  20. Vas Defrens • Long tube from epididymis thru pelvic cavity • Loops over urinary bladder • Delivers sperm to urethra

  21. Accessory Glands • Seminal vesicle • Adds fructose to nourish sperm cells • Bicarbonate buffers acidity of urethra & vagina • Prostate • Alkaline fluid • Bulbourethral glands • Mucus-like alkaline substance • Lubricant for sexual intercourse

  22. Penis • Cylinders of erectile tissue

  23. Female Reproductive System • Vagina • Accepts penis & receives sperm • External genitals • Vulva • Mons pubis • Labia majora • Labia minora • Clitoris • Erectile tissue

  24. Ovaries • Female gonad • Contain primary oocytes • Can develop into eggs

  25. Oogenesis • One primary oocyte yields in one ovum & three polar bodies

  26. Oviducts • Ovulation – mature oocyte is released • Oocyte enters oviduct • Oviducts lead to uterus • Oviduct is site of fertilization

  27. Uterus • Cervix – lower portion opens to vagina • Uterus is site of prenatal development • Endometrium – inner lining • Nourishing layer for embryo • Shed monthly if no pregnancy occurs

  28. Reproductive Cycle

  34. Birth Control Methods

  35. Sexually Transmitted Diseases

  36. Sexually Transmitted Diseases

  37. Stages of Human Development • Zygote – fusion of egg & sperm • Embryo • Morula • Blastocyst • Implantation • Gastrulation • Neurulation • Fetus

  38. Morula • 1 cell zygote begins to divide rapidly • Mitosis without growth

  39. Blastocyst • Ball of cells • Portion of interior destined to differentiate • Cells begin to migrate (morphogenesis)

  40. Implantation • Approximately 1 week after fertilization • Blastocyst secretes enzymes • Digests portion of endometrial wall • Nourished by digested uterine cells

  41. Implantation • Embryo completes implantation • Germ layers begin development (first 2) • Ectoderm • Endoderm

  42. From Ovulation to Implantation

  43. Gastrulation • Primary germ layers fully formed • Organs & tissues begin development

  44. Neurulation • Development of hollow nerve cord • Neural groove forms

  45. Embryo at Four Weeks

  46. Fetus • All organ systems are formed • Growth & development continues

  47. Fetus at Five Months

  48. Human Fetus Near Full Term

  49. Birth is Initiated by Hormones

  50. Newborn Physiological Changes • Obtains oxygen from environment • Placenta no longer the source of nutrients • Blood circulation is increased to lungs
