Reproduction The Story Of Life
Section objectives • Howarespermandeggsmade? • Howdoesfertilizationoccur? • Whatproblemscanhappeninthereproductivesystem?
Male reproductive system Functions: 1. To make sperm 2. To deliver sperm to the female reproductive system

Menstrual cycle Egg released from ovary to fallopian tube (14th day) (ovulation) fertilization or not if no fertilization, lining is shed on 28th day uterus embryo develops into fetus
In-class questions • How many sperm can a male make in one day? How many eggs does a female make? • Calculate: The average woman ovulates each month from about the age of 12 to about the age of 50. How many mature eggs does she release from age 18 to age 50? Assume that she has never been pregnant. • In women, some untreated STDs can block the fallopian tubes. How would this affect fertilization? • Fraternal twins are created when two sperm fertilize two different eggs. Paternal, or identical, twins are created when a single egg divides after fertilization. Why are fraternal twins not identical?
