  1. Human Reproductive System

  2. Male Reproductive System

  3. Sperm Formation • MEIOSIS • Form in testes • Temperature important! • Scrotum • Leave testes via epididymus to the vas deferens

  4. Semen • Fluids help to transport, feed, and protect sperm • Seminal vesicles • Prostate gland • Bulbourethral glands

  5. Secondary Sexual Characteristics - Male • Produced by testosterone • Deeper voice • Axillary and pubic hair • Chest and facial hair • Lengthen bones • Increased size of testes for sperm production

  6. Female Reproductive System

  7. Ovum Formation • MEIOSIS • Ova are formed before birth • 1 ovum per month is matured and released from ovaries

  8. Secondary Sexual Characteristics - Female • Induced by increased LH, FSH, estrogen, and progesterone hormone levels • Axillary and pubic hair • Widen pelvis • Enlarge mammary tissue • Begin menstrual cycles

  9. Fertilization • Occurs in upper 1/3 of Fallopian tube • Once one sperm enters, egg membrane changes • Fertilized egg = zygote

  10. Implantation • Implanted into thick walls of uterus • Chorion membranes dig into uterus to form placenta • Embryo supported via umbilical cord • Once pregnant, progesterone levels stay high in mom

  11. 1st Trimester • Heart develops first • Neural tube develops • All body systems appear by Week 8 – Now a Fetus

  12. 2nd Trimester • Mostly growth • Looks more like a baby • Some preemies survive at this stage

  13. 3rd Trimester • More growth • Kicking, rolling, stretching • Eyes open – Week 32 • Lungs mature • Rotates to head-down position

  14. Birth • Labor • Uterine contractions begin • Cervix dilates to 10 cm. • Birth • Uterus pushes baby through vaginal canal • Placenta delivered after

  15. Most of this not fun?
