Reproductive Systems 2Outline How Animals Reproduce Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction Life History Strategies Male Reproductive System Female Reproductive System Control of Reproduction Sexually Transmitted Diseases
3
Reproductive Systems 3 Asexual Reproduction Some animals usually reproduce asexually, but practice sexual reproduction on occasion Hydra Parthenogenesis Modification of sexual reproduction Unfertilized egg develops into complete individual
4
4 Reproduction in Hydra
5
Reproductive Systems 5 Sexual Reproduction Egg of one parent fertilized by sperm of another Animals usually produce gametes in specialized organs called gonads Testes produce sperm Ovaries produce eggs Copulation is sexual union to facilitate reception of sperm
6
6 Parenting in Birds
7
Reproductive Systems 7 Life History Strategies Insect eggs produced in ovaries Yolk is stored food to be used during development Some form pupa and go through metamorphosis Many aquatic animals have a larval stage Utilize different food source than adults
8
Reproductive Systems 8 Life History Strategies Reptiles and birds provide eggs with plentiful yolk Development takes place in shelled egg containing extra-embryonic membrane Parents often tend eggs and young Mammals are viviparous (Live-born) Care of zygote and embryo Placental mammals eliminate need for shelled egg
9
Reproductive Systems 9 Male Reproductive System Male gonads Paired testes suspended in scrotum Sperm Produced by testes Mature within epididymides Propelled into vas deferentia by muscular contractions
10
Reproductive Systems 10 Male Reproductive System Penis is cylindrical organ hanging in front of scrotum Three cylindrical columns of spongy, erectile tissue Blood flow stiffens penis and increases its size Seminal fluid contains Sperm Secretions from Seminal vesicles Prostate gland, and Bulbourethral gland
11
11 The Male Reproductive System
12
12 Penis Anatomy
13
Reproductive Systems 13Ejaculation Emission - First phase of ejaculation Nerve impulses sent to epididymides and vasa deferentia Sperm enter ejaculatory duct Secretions released Expulsion Rhythmical muscle contractions Expel semen in spurts from opening of urethra Contractions are part of male orgasm
14
Reproductive Systems 14 Testes and Sperm Testes contain one to three coiled seminiferous tubules Mature sperm have three distinct pieces Head Acrosome Mid-piece Tail Normal human ejaculate contains several hundred million sperm
15
15 Testis and Sperm
16
Reproductive Systems 16 Hormonal Regulation in Males Hypothalamus has ultimate control of testicular sexual function Gonadotropic Hormones Follicle Stimulating Hormone Promotes spermatogenesis Occurs in seminiferous tubules Lutenizing Hormone Control production of testosterone Testosterone produced by interstitial cells of testis
17
17 Hormonal Control of Testes
18
Reproductive Systems 18 Female Reproductive System Ovulation An oocyte (egg) bursts from an ovary into coelom Swept into oviduct by currents in coelomic fluid Fertilization normally occurs in oviduct Ciliary movement moves zygote to uterus Embryo embeds in uterine lining (endometrium)
19
19 Female Reproductive System
20
Reproductive Systems 20 Female Reproductive System External genital organs are collectively known as the vulva Mons pubis and labia minora and labia majora are on either side of urethral and vaginal openings Clitoris has a shaft of erectile tissue and is capped by pea-shaped glans
21
21 Ovarian Cycle
22
Reproductive Systems 22Ovaries Ovaries release ova and produce estrogen and progesterone Ovarian Cycle Ovulation Release of secondary oocyte from a vesicular follicle Follicle develops in corpus luteum Degenerates if no pregnancy
23
Reproductive Systems 23 Ovarian Cycle Follicular Phase FSH promotes development of follicle Follicle then secretes estrogens Luteal Phase LH promotes development of corpus luteum Corpus luteum then secretes progesterone
24
24 Hormonal Control of Ovaries
25
Reproductive Systems 25 Uterine Cycle Sex hormones produced in ovarian cycle affect endometrium Days 1-5: Endometrium disintegrates Menses pass out vagina during menstruation Days 6-13: Endometrium thickens Ovulation usually occurs on 14 th day Days 15-28: Endometrium doubles in thickness
26
26 Female Hormone Levels During the Ovarian and Uterine Cycles
27
Reproductive Systems 27Placenta Originates from both maternal and embryonic tissues Produces Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) Maintains the corpus luteum until the placenta begins its own hormone production
28
Reproductive Systems 28 Female Breast Each breast contains between 15 and 24 lobules, each with its own mammary duct Lactation caused by prolactin Colostrum produced until milk production begins Milk production begins a few days after delivery of a baby
29
29 Anatomy of the Breast
30
Reproductive Systems 30Infertility Common Causes of Infertility Females - Endometriosis Males - Low Sperm Count Assisted Reproductive Technologies Artificial Insemination by Donor (AID) In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
31
Reproductive Systems 31 Sexually Transmitted Diseases AIDS Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Attacks helper T cells Transmitted by sexual contact No Cure Genital Warts Human Papillomaviruses (HPV’s) No cure, but can be treated effectively
32
32 HIV, the AIDS Virus
33
Reproductive Systems 33 Sexually Transmitted Diseases Genital Herpes Simplex Virus Type I - Cold sores and fever blisters Type II - Ulcerations on genitals Hepatitis A - Sewage-contaminated drinking water B - Sexual contact C - Post-transfusion
34
34 Genital Warts
35
35 Genital Herpes
36
Reproductive Systems 36 Sexually Transmitted Diseases Chlamydia Chlamydia trachomatis Gonorrhea Neisseria gonorrhoeae Syphilis Treponema pallidum
37
