  1. Topic: Reproduction Aim: Describe the structures that make up the female reproductive system. Do Now: Label the frontal view diagram of the male reproductive system (from yesterday’s notes). HW: Mitosis Activity Sheet (due Monday)

  2. D Urinary bladder vas deferens C B Glands Glands E Glands F A testes G penis H urethra

  3. Identify the process above. Support your answer. • Where does this process occur? • Compare the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells to the original cells.

  4. Oviduct / Fallopian tube Ovary Ovary Uterus Cervix Vagina

  5. Oviduct / Fallopian tube Ovary Ovary Uterus Cervix Vagina

  6. Produce eggs, estrogen, and progesterone Ovaries Oviduct / Fallopian tubes • Carries egg to uterus • Where egg is FERTILIZED Uterus • Muscular organ where fertilized egg develops

  7. Cervix • Lower end of uterus • Muscular tube that receives sperm from the male Vagina

  8. Amniotic fluid Umbilical cord

  9. Placenta: site of EXCHANGE between mother and fetus • BLOOD DOES NOT MIX • Umbilical Cord: TRANSPORTS substances between mother and fetus • Amniotic fluid: cushions and protects fetus Development in uterus

  10. Let’s Review… • Explain the process that occurs in the ovaries. • Describe the process that can occur in the oviduct. • Explain what can occur in the uterus. • Identify the birth canal. • Explain the importance of the placenta. • Explain the importance of the amniotic fluid.

  11. The process that occurs in the ovaries is known as • mitosis • meiosis • asexual reproduction • locomotion

  12. If sperm are present, fertilization will occur in the • vagina • ovaries • oviduct • cervix

  13. Development of the fetus occurs in the • vagina • uterus • cervix • ovaries

  14. The substance that cushions and protects the fetus is called the • umbilical cord • placenta • amniotic fluid • vagina

  15. The exchange of substances such as nutrients, gases and wastes takes place in the • umbilical cord • placenta • amniotic fluid • vagina

  16. The diagram below represents chromosomes in a zygote. Which diagrams best illustrate the daughter cells that result from normal MITOTIC cell division of this zygote?

  17. Sperm cells and egg cells are which type of cells? • Identify the type of cell division that is used to produce these cells. • Where are these cells produced? • In humans, how many chromosomes are found in each of these cells?

  18. Identify all labeled structures in the diagram. In which structure will an embryo develop? In which structure can an egg be fertilized? Which structure releases produces and releases eggs? What hormones does structure A secrete?

  19. What process is represented in the diagram above? • Put the phases in the correct order. • What process is occurring at cell D?
