Chapter 46 Animal Reproduction
Mechanisms of Asexual Reproduction • Fission- separation of a parent into two or more individuals of about the same size • Budding- new individuals arise from outgrowths of existing ones • Fragmentation- is breaking of the body into pieces, which develop into adults • Parthenogenesis is the development of a new individual from an unfertilized egg
Sexual Reproduction: Advantages • An increase in variation in offspring • An increase in the rate of adaptation • A shuffling of genes and the elimination of harmful genes from a population
Ensuring the Survival of Offspring • External fertilization produce more gametes than species with internal fertilization • Internal fertilization provide greater protection of the embryos and more parental care

Female Reproductive Anatomy • Each ovary contains many follicles,which consist of a partially developed egg (oocyte) • Oogenesis- Once a month, an oocyte develops into an ovum (egg) Ovulation expels an egg cell from the follicle • The remaining follicular tissue grows within the ovary, forming a mass (corpus luteum) • The corpus luteum secretes hormones that help to maintain pregnancy • If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum degenerates
Female Reproductive Anatomy • Oviduct (fallopian tube)- path that an egg cell travels from the ovary to the uterus • Uterus (womb)- where a fertilized egg will implant and develop into a fetus • Endometrium- the uterus lining • Cervix- narrow opening between uterus and vagina • Vagina- repository for sperm during copulation and serves as the birth canal

Male Reproductive Anatomy • Scrotum- hold testes outside of the abdominal cavity where the temperature is lower • Testes- highly coiled tubes surrounded by connective tissue • Seminiferoustubules- site of sperm formation • Epididymis- coiled tubules connecting to seminiferous tubules • Vas deferens- pathway for sperm to travel from the epidiymis • Prostate gland- secretes anticoagulant enzymes and sperm nutrient • Bulbourethral glands- secrete a mucus that neutralizes urine remaining in the urethra
Gametogenesis • Spermatogenesis- production of mature sperm. • Sperm are small, motile, and produced throughout the life of a male. Four sperm are produced in meiosis • Oogenesis- development of mature oocytes (eggs) and can take many years • Eggs contain stored nutrients, very large. One egg forms in meiosis

Sex Hormones • Androgens (ex: testosterone), Estrogens (ex: estradiol), Progestins (ex: progesterone) • GnRH (gonadtropin-releasing hormone) secreted by the hypothalamus • FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH(luteinizing hormone)- secreted by the anterior pituitary
The Reproductive Cycles of Females • Prior to ovulation, the endometrium thickens with blood vessels in preparation for embryo implantation • If an embryo does not implant in the endometrium, the endometrium is shed in a process called menstruation Animation: Ovulation

Menstrual Versus Estrous Cycles Menopause- the cessation of ovulation and menstruation • Menstrual cycles (humans and some other primates) • The endometrium is shed from the uterus during menstruation • Sexual receptivity is not limited to a timeframe • Estrous cycles (characteristic of most mammals) • The endometrium is reabsorbed by the uterus • Sexual receptivity is limited to a “heat” period • The length and frequency of estrus cycles varies from species to species
Conception, Embryonic Development, and Birth • Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)- prevents menstruation

First Trimester First Trimester • The first trimester is the main period of organogenesis, development of the body organs • All the major structures are present by 8 weeks, and the embryo is called a fetus Second Trimester • The fetus grows and is very active Third Trimester • The fetus grows and fills the space within the embryonic membranes

Contraception and Abortion • Preventing release of eggs and sperm (birth control pills) • Keeping sperm and egg apart (condom, diaphragm) • Rhythm method (natural family planning)- is to refrain from intercourse when conception is most likely
Sterilization is permanent and prevents the release of gametes • Tubal ligation ties off the oviducts • Vasectomy ties off the vas deferens • Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy • Spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) occurs in up to one-third of all pregnancies • RU486 results in an abortion within the first 7 weeks of a pregnancy
