Chapter 26a Reproduction and Development
About this Chapter • Sex determination and differentiation • Gametogenesis and patterns of reproduction • Male reproductive development and physiology • Female reproductive development and physiology • Pregnancy and the birth process • The reproductive system during growth and aging
Sex Determination • Sexual dimorphism • Females and males are physically distinct • Gonads produce gametes and sex hormones • Male gonads = testes sperm • Female gonads = ovaries eggs • Sex hormones direct development of genitalia • Internal genitalia • External genitalia
Sex Determination Is Directed By Our Genome • Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes • 22 pairs of autosomes • X and Y = 1 pair of sex chromosomes Nondisjunction • XXX superfemale • XXY Klinefelters • X0 Turners • XYY supermale Figure 26-1
X and Y Chromosomes Determine Sex Figure 26-2
Sexual Differentiation • Bipotential tissues have not yet differentiated • SRY protein directs development as a male • Gonadal medulla develops into testis • Testicular hormones direct further development • Absence of SRY protein leads to female development • Gonadal cortex develops into ovarian tissue • Mullerian ducts develop into female organs • Wolffian ducts degenerate
Sexual Differentiation Table 26-1
Development of Internal Reproductive Organs Müllerian duct Wolffian duct Bipotential gonad Kidney Cloacal opening FEMALE MALE Bipotential stage: 6 week fetusThe internal reproductive organshave the potential to develop intomale or female structures 1 1 SRY protein in a maleembryo directs themedulla of thebipotential gonadto develop into testis. Gonadal cortexbecomes ovary in theabsence of SRY protein. Testis Absence of testosteronecauses Wolffian ductto degenerate. 2 2 Anti-Müllerianhormone from testiscauses the Müllerianducts to disappear. Wolffianduct Müllerian duct Uterus 10 WEEKS Ovary 3 Testosterone fromtestis converts Wolffianduct into seminalvesicle, vas deferens,and epididymis. DHTcontrols prostatedevelopment. Prostate Absence of anti-Müllerian hormoneallows theMüllerian ductto become thefallopian tube,uterus, and upperpart of the vagina. 3 Seminal vesicle Fallopian tube(from Müllerianduct) Vas deferens Uterus Testis AT BIRTH Epididymis Vagina (a) DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNAL ORGANS Figure 26-3a
Development of External Genitalia Genital tubercle Urethral groove homologous Labioscrotal swelling Urethral fold Anus FEMALE MALE Bipotential stage(6 week fetus) Clitoris Penis Urethral fold Urethral fold Labioscrotalswelling Labioscrotalswelling Anus Anus 1 DHT causesdevelopmentof male externalgenitalia. 10 WEEKS 1 1 In the absenceof androgens,the external genitaliaare feminized. Glans penis Labiamajora Clitoris Shaft of penis Urethral opening Labiaminora Vaginal opening Scrotum 2 The testes descendfrom the abdominalcavity into thescrotum.

Control of Male Development • SRY gene directs male development Figure 26-4
Control of Female Development • The SRY gene and protein are absent • Gonadal cortex develops into ovarian tissue • Mullerian ducts develop into female organs • Vagina • Uterus • Fallopian tubes • Wolffian ducts degenerate

Steroid Synthesis Pathways • Steroid hormones are similar to each other • Production of sex steroids differs between men and women • Ovary • Estrogen and progesterone • Testis • Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) • Adrenal gland secretes small amounts of sex steroids
Synthesis Pathways for Steroid Hormones Cholesterol Progesterone Dihydro-testosterone(DHT) * Testosterone aromatase Corticosterone Cortisol Estradiol KEY * 5-reductase Aldosterone Intermediate steps Figure 26-6
Hormonal Regulation of Reproduction • Anterior pituitary • Luteinizing hormone (LH) • Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) • Gonads produce steroid and peptide hormones • Gonads are the main source of sex steroid
