Review
• Mitosis is the type of cell division that
occurs in non-reproductive cells.
– Produces exact copies of the parent cell
• Meiosis is cell division that occurs in
reproductive cells; gametes.
– Produces egg and sperm cells with half the
genetic material of the parent cells.
– 23 chromosomes are contained in gametes;
this is so that when egg and sperm meet, they
produce offspring with 46 chromosomes.

What is the
reproductive
system?
The reproductive
systems in both the
male and female
consist of primary
and secondary sex
organs and sex
glands.
The primary function of the reproductive systems
is to perpetuate the species through sexual or
germ cell fertilization and reproduction.

Female reproductive system:
the uterus…
The uterus is a hollow,
muscular, pear-shaped
organ about the size of a
woman’s clenched fist. The
top is tipped forward in a
normal ‘anteflexion’
position. It can be divided
into the body or corpus,
and the bottom cervix.
The rounded top portion,
above the fallopian tubes,
is called the fundus.

the uterus…
The uterus is supported and
held in position by a number of
ligaments. Trauma, disease, or
multiple pregnancies can
weaken these ligaments and
result in abnormal positioning.

the uterus…
The uterus wall
has 3 layers: the
outside layer
called the
perimetrium, the
muscular inside
layer called the
myometrium, and
the mucous
membrane lining
the uterus called
the endometrium.
Outer layer
(Perimetrium)
Thick layer of muscle
(Myometrium)
Mucous lining
(Endometrium)
The cervical opening is about
the diameter of a pencil.

the uterus…
The uterus has 3
functions:
1. The endometrium
sheds the lining of the
uterus every 21 to 40
days by menstruation
2. It provides a place for
the protection and
nourishment of the
fetus during
pregnancy
3. It contracts during labor to expel the fetus

the fallopian tubes…
The isthmus is
the portion that
connects to
uterus
Tube widens to form the
ampulla (am pyu lah)
Fimbria (fihm bree ah) are
the finger-like projections
around the opening that
trap the egg as it leaves the
ovary
End of tube is
called the
infundibulum
(in fun DIB yū lum)
Opening
is called
the
ostium
(ah stē um)

Female reproductive system: the
fallopian tubes…
The fallopian tube is 4-6 inches long. The egg, released
from the ovary, is captured by the fimbria and brought
into the fallopian tube. The egg is moved along inside
the tube by muscular contractions and the waving action
of cilia. It takes an egg about 3-4 days to travel the
length of the tube. If an egg is fertilized, it occurs here.

The two ovaries are
attached to each
side of the uterus
by a ligament. They
are oval-shaped,
about the size of a
large olive, and lie
close to the fimbria
at the end of the
fallopian tubes.
the ovaries…
Each ovary is filled, already at birth, with egg-
containing sacs called follicles. Each egg is called
an ovum.

Once every 21 days,
one follicle in one
ovary ripens. This
mature follicle is a
graafian (GRAW fee un)
follicle. The follicle
ruptures in response
to hormones from the
pituitary gland,
releasing the
ovum/egg… a process
called ovulation.
After the follicle ruptures, it
becomes a mass of yellow
cells called the corpus
luteum. This is a temporary,
progesterone-producing
structure.
ovaries and ova…

The vagina extends
from the cervix to the
outside of the body. It
is a 3 ½ inch long
muscular tube that
expands in length and
width during sexual
arousal.
vagina…
The vagina is the female organ for copulation
(sexual intercourse), receiving the seminal fluid
from the male penis. It is also a passageway for
menstruation or the birth of a fetus.

The vulva is 5 organs making up
the external genitalia of the
female:
1. Mons pubis: triangular-shaped
pad of fatty tissue over the
pubis bone, covered with
pubic hair
vulva…
2. Labia majora: 2 large folds of adipose tissue on the sides
of the vaginal opening
3. Labia minora: 2 smaller folds of adipose tissue on the
inside of the labia majora
4. Vestibule: area between labia with openings for the
vagina, urethra, and two excretory ducts for Bartholin’s
glands (provide lubricant)
5. Clitoris: sensitive fold of tissue partially covered by hood

The perineum is the area
located between the vaginal
opening and the anus. It is
a muscular sheet that can
be torn during childbirth.
vulva…
Some doctors avoid
uncontrolled tearing of
the perineum by making
a surgical incision called
an episiotomy.
Perineum

The breasts are the
mammary glands,
varying in size according
to age, heredity, and the
amount of fatty tissue
present. Each breast has
15-20 glandular lobes
separated by connective
tissue. After childbirth,
the pituitary gland
stimulates these lobules
with the hormone
prolactin… and they
produce milk.
breasts…

The dark-colored circle at
the tip of the breast is
called the areola
(ah REE ah lah). It contains
sebaceous glands to keep
the skin conditioned. In
the center is the nipple,
where ducts from the
lobules open. The first
secretion from the breast
is not a true milk, but a
thin yellowish substance
called colostrum.
breasts…
Colostrum contains
nutrients and the
mother’s immunities
that can protect baby.

The scrotum is a
pouch of skin
suspended from
the perineal area
and divided into
two sacs… each
containing one
testicle and
epididymis.
Male reproductive system: scrotum
The scrotal tissue contracts in the absence of
sufficient heat, pulling the testes up closer to the
body where the temperature maintains the viability
of sperm.

A lubricant, smegma,is produced under the prepuce
on the penis. This foreskin may be circumcised/
removed for hygiene or religious reasons. It covers
the glans/head that is filled with nerve endings.
The urethra runs the
length of the penis from
the bladder to the meatus
(me Ā tus). The flaccid
penis fills with blood
during arousal, causing
an erection and allowing
for the function of
copulation/intercourse.
Male reproductive system: penis

The oval-shaped
testes are located in
the scrotum, and are
each divided into 250
lobules. Coiled
within the lobule are
seminiferous tubes
where the sperm are
formed.
The mature sperm are stored in the epididymis, a
tube 13-20 feet in length, coiled and lying on the
side of each testicle.
Male reproductive system: testes
and epididymis…

Semen
• Mixture of sperms and seminal fluid
• 60% from seminal vesicles, 30% from
prostate
• Slightly alkaline, milky appearance and
sticky
• Contains nutrients, clotting proteins & an
antibiotic to protect the sperms
• Typical ejaculate is 2.5 to 5 ml in volume
• Normal sperm count is 50 to 150 millions/mL
– Actions of many sperm are needed for one to
enter

Erection
• Sexual stimulation
• Parasympathetic nervous system reflex
• Dilation of the arterioles supplying the penis
• Blood enters the penis compressing the
veins so that the blood is trapped
• Blood sinuses of penis engorge with blood
• Erection

The acrosome
(AK roh zome) covering
the head of the
sperm contains
enzymes that help
it penetrate the
ova. The head
carries the genetic
material. The
midpiece supplies
energy. The tail or
flagellum (flah JELL
um) provides
motility.
Sperm carry either an
X/female OR Y/male
chromosome. Since all ova
carry the X/female
chromosome, the male sperm
does influence the baby’s sex.
Male reproductive system: sperm…

The vas deferens are
muscular tubes
transporting sperm from
the epididymis to the
seminal vesicles. The
seminal vesicles produce a
slightly alkaline fluid that
mixes with the sperm and
becomes part of the semen
ejaculated during the male
orgasm. It protects the
sperm from the acidity of
the urethra.
Male reproductive system:
vas deferens and seminal vesicles…

The prostate gland also secretes an alkaline fluid
that mixes with the sperm as part of the semen.
Enlargement of the prostate, benign prostatic
hyperplasia, obstructs the flow of urine through the
urethra. The Cowper’s or
bulbourethral glands
(bull boh yur REE thral)
produce another
mucous- alkaline
secretion in the
urethra, excreted from
the glands just before
ejaculation.
Male reproductive system: Prostate
and Cowper’s glands

The onset of the
menstrual cycle, or
menarche, begins at
puberty and ceases
at menopause. The
cycle has 3 phases:
The follicular phase is characterized by menstruation,
when the thickened lining of the endometrium is shed
because no egg was fertilized or implanted. Just prior to
this phase is a premenstrual period characterized by
hormonal and physical changes.
menstrual cycle…

The ovulatory phase
comes next. Estrogen is
the hormone produced by
the ovaries, which
stimulates the maturation
of a follicle and thickens
the endometrium.
The luteal phase follows ovulation, and is characterized
by the development of the corpus luteum, the secretion
of progesterone, the preparation of the endometrium for
implantation of a fertilized egg, and the formation of a
thick mucous to block the cervix once the egg passes
out of the fallopian tube.
menstrual cycle…

At the moment of conception, a
single sperm with 23
chromosomes (carrying genetic
information from the
father)penetrates/fertilizes a
single egg with 23
chromosomes (carrying genetic
information from the mother).
The resulting cell, a zygote, now
has 46 chromosomes. The cell
begins dividing and is also
called a blastocyst. From week
2-8, it is called an embryo.
Female reproductive
system: pregnancy…
The fertilized egg
implants in the uterus.
Progesterone
production increases to
signal a pregnancy; it
can be detected in
urine and blood.

The embryo is suspended
in an amniotic sac
surrounded by fluid
during the 280 day
gestation period. The
umbilical cord attached at
the navel connects it to
the placenta, where it
gets nutrients and
oxygen. During the 1st
trimester, all parts of the
embryo are formed.
Female reproductive system: pregnancy…
During the second trimester all parts start to
function; during the last trimester the embryo is
now called a fetus and the main task is growth.

Labor, characterized by
muscle contractions, dilation
(to 10 cm) and effacement
(thinning)of the cervix, and
expulsion of the mucous
plug that formed in the
cervix, signals the onset of
parturition… the childbirth
process. The cephalic, or
head-first delivery, is the
most common. Breech is a
backward presentation;
Caesarian is delivery
through an incision in the
abdomen.
The umbilical cord is cut
and clamped, and placenta
(afterbirth) is delivered
following birth of the baby.

The newborn may be covered with traces of vernix
caseosa (cheesy coating) or lanugo (downy hair) that
protected the skin before birth. The health of the baby
is immediately evaluated on the APGAR scale. Color,
heartbeat, reflexes, muscle tone, and breathing are
scored on a scale of 0-10.

3. Spontaneous abortion or miscarriage is the loss of
a fetus during the first 20 weeks, often due to
abnormalities, trauma, or lifestyle choices.
Pregnancy can be
complicated by certain
conditions:
1. Placenta previa is the
development of the
placenta over the
opening of the cervix
2. Preeclampsia is a
pregnancy- induced
hypertension (high
blood pressure)
