Human Reproduction Flashcards
Humans reproduce
Sexually
Humans are
Dioecius
Internal fertilization takes place in
Ampullary region
Humans are
Viviparous
1st stage of sexual reproduction
Gametogenesis
2nd stage of reproduction
Insemination
Insemination takes place in
Vagina
Semination
Transfer of semen from testes to vasa efferentia
3rd stage of sexual reproduction
Syngamy
Zygote formation is a
Fertilization event
4th stage of sexual reproduction
Repeated mitotic division of zygote
Zygote forms
Morula
Morula forms
Blastocyst/blastula
Blastocyst forms
Gastrula
Morula is
16 cell stage
Gastrula forms
Neurula
Implantation happens in which stage
Blastocyst
5th stage of human reproduction
Gestation period
6th stage of human reproduction

7th stage of human reproduction
Lactation
Sperm is formed at what age
12-15 yrs

Larval stage
Eggs mature at what age
Puberty
Menopause occurs at what age
50yrs
Male reproductive system is located in
Pelvic region
Primary/essential male sex organs
Testes(2)- gonad
Testes is extra abdominal to (function)
Keep it 2-2.5° lower than body temp
Male Accessory ducts-6
Retetestis Vasa efferentia Epididymis Vas deferens Ejaculatory duct Urethra
Male Accessory glands - 3
Seminal vesicles - 2
Prostrate gland -1
Cowper’s gland/bulbourethral gland - 2
External male genetalia
Penis
Testes descended into scrotum during
7th-8th month of pregnancy
Failure of descendence of testes into scrotum
Cryptorchidism
Cured by orchioplexy
Spermatic cord
Holds testes in scrotum
Inguinal canal
Connects scrotum to abdominal region
Diameter of testis
4-5 cm
Width of testes
2-3 cm
How many testecular lobules in each testes
250
Structure and functional unit of testes
Semineferous tubules
Terminal part of SNFT
Tubuli recti
Network like structure formed by tubuli recti
Retetestis
Vasa efferentia carry sperm from
Retetestis to epididymis
Head of epididymis
Caput
Body of epididymis
Corpus
Tail of epididymis
Cauda
Functional maturation of sperms takes place in
Vas deferens
Vas deferens loops over
Urinary bladder
Vas deferens recieves duct from
Seminal vesicle at ampulla
Ejaculatory duct joins
Urethra obliquely
1st part of urethra
Prostratic urethra
2nd part of urethra
Membranous urethra
Membranous urethra located near
Cowper’s gland
3rd part of urethra
Penile urethra
Opening of urethra
Urethral meatus
Foreskin aka
Prepuce
Scrotum is located
Extra abdominal
Scrotum keeps temp
2-2.5°C lower
