MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS

Cards (33)

  • it is a vital part of life and it plays crucial role in the continuation and diversity of animal species
    ANIMAL REPORDUCTION
  • what is Asexual reproduction?
    it can produce offspring without a partner
  • Sexual reproduction means?
    it needs a partner in able to produce offspring
  • Binary fission
    in which a parent organism divides into two nearly daugther cells
  • what is budding?

    a new individual develops as an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism
  • in which an organism breaks and fragments into smaller pieces
    FRAGMENTATION
  • REGENERATION
    regrows or replaces lost or damaged body parts
  • in which offspring are produced from infertilize eggs give births to offspring without the contribution of genetic material from a man
    PARTHENOGENESIS
  • What is syngamy
    process between 2 gametes typically a sperm and an egg resulting in the formation of zygote
  • explain INTERNAL and EXTERNAL REPRODUCTION
    Internal- fusion takes place inside the female reproductive
    External- where gametes takes place outside the organism body
  • it exchange observed in certain organis, such as bacteria protists and some algae and it occurs through direct physical contact
    CONJUGATION
  • Hermaphroditism and example

    both male and female reproductive organs within the same individual and it allows produce sperm and egg cells example are earthworm
  • it is found in the cytoplasm of the oocyte and it creates a fertilization membrane that prevents any further attachment or penetration of sperm thus blocking polyspermy
    CORTICAL GRANULE
  • The outer layer of follicular it provides protection for the oocyte and also helps guide sperm towards the zona zona zona zona pellucida
    CORONA RADIATA
  • thick transparent layer that sorrunds the oocyte composed of glycoproteins
    ZONA PELLUCIDA
  • Responsible for the movement of the flagellum, propels the sperm toward the egg
    AXONEME
  • Contains hydrolytic enzymes it helps the sperm to penetrate the eggs outer coat during fertilization
    ACROSOME
  • long whip-like structure that extends from the posterior end of the sperm
    FLAGELLUM
  • The primary organs of a male reproductive
    TESTES
  • coiled tube located on the surface of each testis main function is to store and transport sperm cells produced in the testes
    EPIDIDYMIS
  • it carries urine from the bladder to the external opening of the urinary tract it also serves as a passageway from semen 

    URETHRA
  • located below the bladder it enhances the motility and viability of the sperm
    Seminal vesicles
  • cowpers gland helps lubricate cleanse the urethra
    BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS
  • THE MAIN REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN ON FEMALES
    OVARIES
  • it contains thousand of
    follicles
  • the passage way and to capture released eggs during ovulation
    FALLOPIAN TUBES
  • hollow muscular organ fertilized eggs implants and develop embroyos
    urethra
  • muscular canal connects the uterus to the external genitalia it also receives the penis during intercourse

    VAGINA
  • lower part of the uterus that connects it to the vagina produces cervical mucus
    CERVIX
  • Also known as vulva include the labia majora labia minora clitoris and vaginal opening

    EXTERNAL GENITALIA
  • Fallopian tubes are two long, narrow tubes that extend from the upper end of the uterus to the ovaries. They transport matured eggs from the ovaries into the uterus where they can be fertilized by sperm cells.
  • Ovaries are paired organs located on either side of the pelvis. They produce oocytes (eggs) and secrete estrogen and progesterone hormones.
  • The female reproductive system is responsible for producing gametes, receiving sperm from male, protecting developing fetuses, and giving birth.
