Sex Determination • Dimorphism- physical differences in females and males other and reproductive organs. • Physically distinct-breast, hips, muscle mass, areas of body fat storage, etc. • Gonads produce gametes (eggs and sperm) • Male gonads testes sperm • Female gonads ovaries eggs • Internal and external genitalia – glands and ducts that connect the gonads to the external genitalia
Sex Determination • Chromosomes – a DNA segment that holds genes. Chromosomes come in pairs called homologous pairs • Autosomes – code for body characteristics but do not determine sex • 22 pairs • Sex Chromosomes -X & Y • men are XY women are XX Figure 26-1
Sex Determination Inheritance of X and Y chromosomes Each parent contributes ½ the genome to an offspring. During sex determineation; mothers always contribute the X chromosome. Father’s have a 50:50 chance of giving an X or Y Figure 26-2
Sexual Differentiation • Bipotential tissues – undifferentiated tissues the can develop into male or female reproductive structures. • SRY gene – sex-determining region of the Y chromosome that will guides the development of male genitals. • Gonad - the reproductive organ that produces the gamete • Testis or ovary – primary reproductive organ, all other reproductive structures are accessory structures that make fertilization and pregnancy possible. • Wolffian duct- derived from the embryonic kidney, it develops into the vas deference once the testes release Anti-Mullerian hormone. • Mullerian duct - derived from the embryonic uterus, it develops into the fallopian tube while Wolfian duct disappear in the absence of testorone.

Gametogenesis • Gamete production occurs in primary sex organs. Begins in utero, stops during childhood, resumes in puberty and continues through adulthood. The process is timed differently in males & females • Meiosis- cell division occurring only in gametes that yields four haploid cells (different from mitosis) • Primary gamete-produced at completion of Meiosis I. The cell is genetically diverse, haploid (no chromosome pairs) and with sister chromatids (copies= 46 total) • Secondary gamete-produced at completion of Meiosis II. The cell is genetically diverse, haploid, and with no sister chromatids (23 total) • Haploid gamete- carries half the genome, matures into a viable cells that participates in fertilization
Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis Mitosis Meiosis • Mitosis yields two identical diploid cells. It’s happens in all body cells (somatic) • Meiosis yields four genetically diverse haploid cells. It only happens in sex cells (gametes) Meiosis I Parent cell (2n) Parent cell (2n) Chromosome duplication Chromosome duplication Tetrad Crossing over Daughter cells 2n 2n Meiosis II Visual Summary 8.3 n n n n Daughter cells

In males meiosis begins in adulthood after puberty, all cells generated by meiosis can develop into sperm. Figure 26-5 (4 of 9)
Spermatozoa Structure • Head • Acrosome and nucleus • Midpiece • Centrioles and mitochondria • Tail (flagellum) • Microtubules
Oogenesis In females stem cells go through mitosis and creates all the oocytes that could mature into an ovum. Meiosis begins before birth, is arrested,and then resumes after puberty but is not completed until fertilization occurs.

Synthesis Pathways of Steroid Hormones • Steroid hormones contain cholesterol, are structurally similar and share production pathways with other steroid hormones • Ovary • Progesterone • Estrogen • Testis • Testosterone
Regulation of Reproduction by Endocrine System • Both males and females produce the following, the primary target tissues are the gonads. The gonads produce androgens (predominate in males) and estrogens (predominate in females). • Hypothalamus: pulse generator of • Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) • Anterior Pituitary • Lutenizing hormone (LH) • Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) • Inhibins and activins- influence the secretion of FSH
General Pathways Internal and environmental stimuli CNS GnRH Hypothalamus Short-loop negative feedback KEY Stimulus Anterior pituitary Integrating center Efferent pathway Effector Long-loop feedback may be negative or positive Tissue response LH FSH Gonads (ovaries or testes) Females only Endocrine cells Gamete production Steroid and peptide hormones General pattern of hormonal control of reproduction • Long-loop: hormone production by gonads alters • GnRH • FSH • LH • Short-loop: feedback from pituitary alters • GnRH Figure 26-7
Histology of the Testes • Seminiferous tubules contain • Spermatogonia- goes through various stages to become sperm (spermatogonia, spermatocyte, spermatids, & sperm) • Sertoli cells (sustentacular cells)- found between spermatogonia, form part of the blood-testes barrier produce inhibin & activin • Interstitial tissue (found outside of seminiferous tubules but within testicles) • Leydig cells- produce testosterone, active in fetus and after puberty

Male Reproductive Structures • Male reproductive structures are designed to create sperm, deliver it internally, and provide it with chemicals to allow it to survive outside the body
Male Reproductive Structures Figure 26-9b
Male Reproductive Structures Accessory glands: produce secretions that in addition to sperm, form semen. 1. Seminal vesicles: secrete a fluid that contains fructose (sugar), nutrients, prostagladins to stimulate the urethra to contract, substances that suppress the immune system against sperm in females, enzymes the enhance sperm mobility, and enzymes that thicken the ejaculate. 2. Prostate gland: release a milky white fluid that enhances sperm mobility & thickens ejaculate. Susceptible to tumors & STDs. 3. Bulbourethral glands: secrete a mucus for lubrication and neutralizes acid in urethra. Figure 26-8 (1 of 2)
Female Reproductive Structures • External genitalia • Vulva • Labia Majora & Minora • Clitoris • Urethral & Vaginal opennings • Passageway • Urethra • Vagina • Hymen • Birth canal
Female Reproductive Structures The female reproductive system is designed for ova(egg) production, fertilization, fetal development, and fetal delivery. It involves a uterine and ovarian cycle
Female Reproductive Structures • These structures are supported by the broad ligament. The uterus is not the place of fertilization, thus changes to the lining of the uterus occur in preparation of implantation and then development of the fetus
Ovaries: Structures • Follicle: primordial, primary, secondary, matured (antrum), ruptured • Oocyte • Follicular cells • Thecal cells • Granulosa cells • Corpus luteum • Corups albicans
Phases of the Ovarian & Uterine Cycle • Primary hormones • GnRH from the hypothalamus • FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary • Estrogen, progesterone, and inhibin from the ovary • Ovarian Cycle: • Follicular phase: Follicle growth in ovary (egg matures) • Ovulation: Ripened follicles and release of oocyte(s) • Luteal phase: Ruptured follicle becomes corpus luteum in preparation for pregnancy • Uterine Cycle: • Menses: No pregnancy, Bleeding from uterus • Proliferative phase: New layer of endometrium in preparation of pregnancy • Secretory phase: Conversion of endometrium to secretory structure

Pregnancy Prevention • Contraceptives • Abstinence-also prevents STDs • Barriers-prevent sperm from entering cervix • Surgical- prevent the entry of gametes • Pills- affect uterine lining and ovulation http://portal.stii.dost.gov.ph/sntpost/frames/OcttoDec03/grapix/contraceptives.jpg
Fertilization • Sperm capacitation • Swimming and attractants • Egg contact • Penetration • Acrosomal reaction • Nuclear fusion • Cortical reaction • Zygote
Fertilization Figure 26-16a
Fertilization • When fertilization occurs the sperm does not enter the egg but the fusion of the membranes causes the removal of receptors on the egg so no other sperm can fuse. Notice that meiosis II is only completed if the egg is fertilized
