IB BIOLOGY HL FURTHER HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
3
Non functional until puberty ◦ Reproduction not biologically important for the individual! Major structural differences between males and females ◦ Male Reproductive System ◦ Female Reproductive System
5
G O N A D S Function to produce GAMETES necessary for sexual reproduction of offspring! TESTES (Male Gonad) OVARIES (Female Gonad) Function to secrete SEX HORMONES required for reproductive system organ maintenance and development! Testosterone / Androgens Male Estrogens / Progesterone Female
6
GAMETES: Sex Cells that combine to form offspring (FERTILIZATION) Male Gamete: Spermatocytes/Sperm Female Gamete: Oocytes/Ova
8
Allow for fertilization and nuturing/support of embryo/fetus. Includes: ◦ Ducts (urethra ; fallopian tubes) ◦ Glands (prostate ; mammary) ◦ External genitalia (penis ; vagina)
9
The production of gametes by the gonads! ◦ Spermatogenesis (males) ◦ Oogenesis (females) Timing of gamete production: ◦ Males: Begins at puberty…continues for life! ◦ Females: Begins / ends prior to birth!
11
The process by which gametogenesis occurs! Diploid (2n) cells in the gonads produce haploid (n) gametes!
13
Meiosis I Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I Meiosis II Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II

17
Testes Scrotum Seminiferous Tubules Epididymis Vas deferens Accessory Glands Penis Urethra Brain !
19
the concentration of the hormone Testosterone must be high enough to stimulate sperm production !
20
ONSET OF PUBERTY
21
Multiple Target Cells for Testosterone! SECONDARY SEX CHARACTERISTICS – Voice Deepens, Beard Grows, Body Hair, increased muscle mass FSH and Testosterone stimulate the development of Sperm. When large numbers of sperm have been produced in the Testes, Puberty is completed - THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM IS NOW FUNCTIONAL !
22
Oval shaped paired gonads Develop in abdominal cavity of male Just prior to birth, descend into scrotum Must remain in scrotum for LIFE… Temp in scrotum ~3 degrees cooler than internal body temp: Sperm production REQUIRES lower temp!
23
External sac housing testes Testicular descent ~ 7month in utero Cryptorchidism Response to temperature changes ◦ Dartos muscle: Smooth muscle Wrinkles skin covering scrotum ◦ Cremaster muscle: Skeletal muscle elevates testes
25
Hundreds of small tubes within each testis Site of Meiosis! (ie: spermatogenesis occurs here)
26
Contain two cell types: ◦ Spermatogenic cells Target cells for testosterone Site of spermatogenesis (meiosis) ◦ Interstitial Cells Secrete testosterone
27
Interstitial cells Spermatogenic cells
29
Site of sperm maturation and storage ~20 day process to gain motility
31
HEAD – containing: Nucleus (w/ 23 Chromosomes) Acrosome: “Cap” containing enzymes for penetration of protective layers surrounding the ovum MIDPIECE – containing: Mitochondria: supply Energy required to reach the ovum TAIL – consists of: Flagellum: propels sperm toward the ovum
33
Extends from epididymis into abdominal cavity Carries sperm, upon sexual arousal, to the urethra Runs through center of prostate gland
37
Exocrine Glands Produce secretions that combine with sperm. Sperm + glandular secretions = SEMEN
38
Location: Inferior to urinary bladder Secretion: ◦ Nutrients ◦ Enzymes Prostate Secretion activates sperm!
39
Location: posterior wall of urinary bladder Secretion: Alkaline fluid high in… ◦ Sugar ◦ Vitamin C Fluid flows to urethra via ejaculatory duct
40
Location: inferior to Prostate Gland Secretion: ◦ Mucus ◦ Functions to neutralize acidity of urine in urethra
41
Functions to deliver sperm to female reproductive system Internally composed of 3 cylinders of Erectile Tissue: ◦ Corpus Cavernosum (2)* ◦ Corpus Spongiosum (1)* *Engorge with blood during sexual stimulation, producing an ERECTION
44
Transports sperm from abdomen (via vas deferens) to external environment (via penis)
45
1. Brain perceives sexual stimulus 2. NO (nitrous oxide) released in smooth muscle lining arterioles of erectile tissue 3. Arterial muscles relax, arterioles dilate 4. Arterioles fill with blood 5. Engorged arterioles compress venules 6. Blood is trapped in erectile tissue arterioles. Erection achieved.
46
7. Prolonged sexual stimulus results in spinal reflex impulse… 8. Causes contraction of: *vas deferens*bulbourethral gland *prostate gland* seminal vesicles 9. Semen empties into urethra 10. Urethral sphincter muscles contract 11. Semen forcefully ejected from urethra Ejaculation
