Presentation Transcript

  1. Animal Reproduction • Chapter 46 ~

  2. Overview • Asexual(one parent) • fission (parent separation) • budding (corals) • gemmules (porifera) • fragmentation & regeneration (inverts) • Sexual(fusion of haploid gametes) • gametes (sex cells) • zygote (fertilized egg) • ovum (unfertilized egg) • spermatozoon (male gamete)

  3. Reproductive cycles • Parthenogenesis unfertilized egg development; haploid, sterile adults (honeybees) • Hermaphroditismboth male & female reproductive systems; sessile & burrowing organisms (earthworms) • Sequential hermaphroditism reversal of gender during lifetime•protogynous(female 1st) •protandrous(male 1st)

  4. Mechanisms of sexual reproduction • Fertilization (union of sperm and egg) • external • internal • Pheromones chemical signals that influence the behavior of others (mate attractants)

  5. Mammalian reproduction, I • The Human Male • Testes~ male gonads • Seminiferous tubules~ sperm formation • Leydig cells~ hormone production • Scrotum~ outside body temp. • Epididymis~ sperm development • Vas deferens~ sperm propulsion • Seminal vesicles~ semen • Prostate gland~ anticoagulant; nutrients • Bulbourethral glands~ acid neutralizer • Penis/urethra~ semen delivery

  6. Male Reproductive Structures

  7. Mammalian reproduction, II • The Human Female • Ovaries~ female gonads • Follicle~ egg capsule • Corpus luteum~ hormone secretion • Oviduct~ fertilization • Uterus/endometrium~ womb/lining • Cervix/vagina~ sperm receptacle

  8. Female Reproductive Structures

  9. Spermatogenesis • Puberty until death! • Seminiferous tubules~ location • Primordial germ cell (2N)~ differentiate into…. • Spermatogonium (2N)~ sperm precursor • Repeated mitosis into…. • Primary spermatocyte (2N) • 1st meiotic division • Secondary spermatocyte (1N) • 2nd meiotic division • Spermatids (1N)~Sertoli cells…. • Sperm cells (1N)

  10. Oogenesis • As embryo until menopause... • Ovaries • Primordial germ cells (2N) • Oogonium (2N) • Primary oocyte (2N) • Between birth & puberty; prophase I of meiosis • Puberty; FSH; completes meiosis I • Secondary oocyte (1N); polar body • Meiosis II; stimulated by fertilization • Ovum (1N); 2nd polar body

  11. The female pattern • Estrous cycles/estrus(many mammals) • Menstrual cycle (humans and many other primates): • Ovarian/Menstrual cycles~ •follicular phase~follicle growth •ovulation~ oocyte release •luteal phase~ hormone release

  12. Ovulation

  13. Post-ovulation

  14. Embryonic & fetal development • Gestation~ pregnancy • 1st trimester: • organogenesis • fetus (week 8; all adult features) • HCG hormone (menstruation override; pregnancy test detection) • Parturition~birth • Labor~uterine contractions • Lactation~prolactin & oxytocin

  15. Modern technologies
