Overview of How It Works
• In both M and F,– Gametes are formed in one of the organs of the
reproductive system– Gametes must travel through other organs of
reproductive system before can engage in fertilization (or attempt to)• M– for modification and to acquire “tools” to help it
reach the egg… for removal from M body• F- for implantation

Male Reproductive System
![Page 4: Human Reproductive Anatomy and Fertilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/5681668c550346895dda5469/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
1) Form Sperm
• Occurs in the testes (singular= testis)
• Testes contained in the scrotum – Cooler temperature for
sperm production
![Page 5: Human Reproductive Anatomy and Fertilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/5681668c550346895dda5469/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1) Form Sperm • Seminiferous tubules = site
of spermatogenesis
![Page 6: Human Reproductive Anatomy and Fertilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/5681668c550346895dda5469/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2) Sperm Travel• Epididymis
(storage) vas deferens (transport) urethra (modifications) ejected from body

3) Multiple Organs Designed to Provide Sperm with Extra “Tools” To Reach Egg
• In urethra• Seminal vesicle – energy (fructose)
• Prostate gland– Alkaline fluid to protect
against acidic F• Bulbourethral gland– Mucus secretion
![Page 8: Human Reproductive Anatomy and Fertilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/5681668c550346895dda5469/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Prostate Problems• Prostate enlarged in most older men – not necessarily cancerous– Leads to difficulty with urination
• Cancer= Very common but easily recognized and treated (testosterone therapy)

F Reproductive Anatomy
• Ovaries= site of egg production
• Less travelling than M (more modification in ovaries– menstrual cycle)

Uterus
• Where baby lives!• Endometrium – – Inner lining– blood vessels– implantation

Signal Transduction Pathways AKA intricate and complicated
![Page 12: Human Reproductive Anatomy and Fertilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/5681668c550346895dda5469/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hormone Regulation in M
• Puberty• Consistent levels
of testosterone throughout the life of the male
• LH vs. FSH• Negative
feedback • Figure 27.40 in
your books!

Negative Feedback– How Hormones Work
• Maintain consistent internal environment (homeostasis)
![Page 14: Human Reproductive Anatomy and Fertilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/5681668c550346895dda5469/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• What would happen if there was no negative feedback?

Menstrual Cycle
![Page 16: Human Reproductive Anatomy and Fertilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/5681668c550346895dda5469/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Primary oocyte secondary oocyte ovulatedFollicle corpus luteum degenerates (if no baby)
What is the Function of theCorpus luteum?

Key Points
• Involves the interaction of many hormones
• Only one follicle ovulates at a time (dominant follicle)
• When does the egg complete meiosis II?
![Page 18: Human Reproductive Anatomy and Fertilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/5681668c550346895dda5469/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pregnancy vs. no pregnancy
• If no sperm, leads to menstruation• If sperm, meiosis II completed in oviduct
