Human Reproduction Flashcards
insemination
transfer of sperm into female genital track
Impalntation
development of blastocyst and its attachment to uterine walls
gestation
embryonic development
parturition
delivery of the baby
order of sexual reproduction
gametogenesis insemination fertilization implantation gestation parturition
scrotum is connected to what by what
scrotum is connected to abdominal/pelvic cavity by Inguinal canal
supermatic chord
supermatic artery + veins + nerves + connective tissue
testis overview
IMPORTANT
length 4 to 5 cm
width 2 to 3 cm
3 layers: Tunica vaginalis, Tunica albuginea, Tunica vascula
250 components,testicular lobules
each lobule has 1 to 3 semiferous tubules, where sperms are produced
2 types: male germ, sertoli cell
male germ: meitotic div and gives sperm
sertoli cells: nutritions
Interstitial spaces, outside of semiferous tubulrs has small blood vessels and Interstitial cell/LEYDIG cells
Ledig produces Androgen hormones
sperms are produced in
seminiferous tubules
2 function of testis
production of sperm, male sex organ
3 layers of testis
Tunica vaginalis, Tunica albuginea, Tunica vascula
male accessory ducts
rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis, vas deferens
external opening in penis
urethral meatus
flow of male sperm from seminiferous tubules
semineferous tubules gives rise to vasa efferinta thru rete testis, which gives rise to epididymis( present in posterior testis)to vas deferens which ascends to abdominal cavity and loops over urinary bladder
It reseives a duct from seminal vesical which forms ejaculatory duct
epididymis differentiates into and uses
10-12 vas efferentia
Caput , Corpus, Cauda
stores sperm and secretes fluid to nourish them
Penis
both reproductive organ and urinary duct
Has 3 cylindrical masses of erectile tissue: 2 dorsal corpora cavernosa and 1 ventral Corpus spongiosm
surrounded by fibrous tissue
corpus spongila has penile urethra
gland penis has loose fold of skin,Foreskin or PREPUCE
seminal vesicle
ducts from here join VD to form ejaculatory
60-70% of semen
7.4 alkaline nutrelizes actdity of utreus
has FRUSTOSE( energy for sperm)
PROSTOGLANDIS (stimulate contractions so sperm e=reach oviduct)
CLOTTING PROTIENS (Coagulation of semen after ejaculation)
prostate gland
large, chestnut, surrounds urethra
20-30% semen
produces alkaline milky fluid
Citric acid enzyme
