  • Types of Animal Reproduction

    • Sexual Reproduction
    • Asexual Reproduction
  • Asexual Reproduction

    The creation of new individuals whose genes all come from one parent without the fusion of egg and sperm
  • Sexual Reproduction

    The creation of offspring by the fusion of haploid gametes to form a zygote, which is diploid
  • Asexual Reproduction

    • Enables animals living in isolation to produce offspring without locating mates
    • Can create numerous offspring in a short amount of time
  • Sexual Reproduction

    • Increases genetic variability
    • May enhance the reproductive success of parents when environmental factors change relatively rapidly
  • Mechanisms of Asexual Reproduction

    • Fission
    • Budding
    • Fragmentation
    • Regeneration
  • Types of Fertilization

    • Internal Fertilization
    • External Fertilization
  • Internal Fertilization

    The male generally delivers sperm cells directly into the body of the female. Her moist tissues provide the watery medium required for movement of sperm.
  • External Fertilization

    Mating partners usually release eggs and sperm into the water simultaneously.
  • Some Reproductive Variations

    • Metagenesis
    • Parthenogenesis
    • Hermaphroditism
  • Metagenesis
    Also known as 'transformation development', refers to an alternation of asexual and sexual generations.
  • Parthenogenesis
    Also known as 'virgin development', is a form of reproduction in which an unfertilized egg develops into an adult animal.
  • Hermaphroditism
    Means that a single organism produces both eggs and sperm.
  • Parts of Male Reproductive System

    • Testes
    • Ducts
    • Glands
    • Penis
  • Testes
    Consist of many highly coiled tubes (seminiferous tubules – where sperm form) surrounded by several layers of connective tissue.
  • Ducts
    From seminiferous tubules, the sperm pass into the epididymis.
  • Glands
    Three sets of accessory glands – the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands – add secretions to the semen, the fluid that is ejaculated.
  • Penis
    Is composed of three cylinders of spongy erectile tissue derived from modified veins and capillaries.
  • Types of Physiological Reactions in Human Sexual Response

    • Vasocongestion
    • Myotonia
  • Phases of Human Sexual Response

    • Excitement Phase
    • Plateau Phase
    • Orgasm Phase
    • Resolution Phase
  • Excitement Phase

    Preparation of penis and vagina for coitus (sexual intercourse)
  • Prostate cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate
  • Prostate gland
  • Causes and Risk Factors of Prostate Cancer
    • Unknown
    • Age
    • Family history
    • Ethnicity
  • Possible Signs of Prostate Cancer

    • Early Stage: No Symptoms
    • Frequent urination, especially at night
    • Difficulty starting or stopping urination
    • Weak urine flow
    • Blood in the urine (hematuria)
    • Pain in the lower back, hips, or pelvis
  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise to prevent prostate cancer
  • Treatments for Prostate Cancer

    • Active surveillance
    • Surgery
    • Radiation therapy
    • Hormone therapy
    • Cryotherapy
    • HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound)
