Sexual reproduction:
- This is the union of the nuclei of ovum and sperm cell. - Ovum and sperm cells are called gametes. - Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes of a normal body cell.
126
Gametes ( ovum and sperm cell)
- Gametes are produced in the gonads | - Female gonads are ovaries; male gonad are testis.
127
Fertilization
- An ovum leaves the ovaries and travels through the fallopian tube. - Fertilization takes place if sperm cells are present and unit with the ovum. - Fertilized egg implants the divides to form a ball of cell called a zygote ( and later an embryo, and then a fetus)
128
Menstrual cycle:
Day 1-5 : Blood cells, endometrial cells, glandular secretions discharge from the body. ( Menstruation) Day 6-12 : Estrogen aids repair of endometrium. The ovum grows in the follicle. Day 13-14 : the egg leave the ovary and passes through the fallopian tube. ( Ovulation) Day 15-28: The corpus luteum secretes progesterone; the uterus lining builds up.
129
Pregnancy
- If fertilization occurs, the egg implants in the uterine endometrium. - The placenta forms, attaches to the uterine wall - Amnion holds the fetus in amniotic cavity. - nutrients, oxygen, and wastes exchange between the fetus and mother. - The placenta produces HCG - > this is what we are checking for on a pregnancy test. - Progesterone maintains placenta development. - The uterus expands as the fetus grows. - Normal delivery fetal position is cephalic presentation (head first) - Human chorionic gonadotropin- HCG
130
Hormonal interactions:
The pituitary secretes: - FSH: Follicle stimulating hormone - LH: Luteinizing Hormone The pituitary stops producing FSHand LH : - During pregnancy - With oral contraceptives.
