Lesson 8.1

Introduction
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.

Copyright 2014, 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Introduction (contd)
Gametes (ovum and sperm cell)
Gametes are produced in the gonads.
Female gonads are the ovaries; male
gonads are the testes.

Copyright 2014, 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Introduction (contd)
Fertilization
An ovum leaves the ovaries and travels
through the fallopian tube.
Fertilization takes place if sperm cells are
present and unite with the ovum.
The fertilized egg implants then divides to
form a ball of cells, called a zygote (and
later an embryo and then a fetus).

Menstruation and Pregnancy


Menstrual cycle
Day 1-5

Blood cells, endometrial cells, and glandular


secretions discharge from the body.

Day 6-12 Estrogen aids repair of endometrium.


The ovum grows in the follicle.
Day 13-14 The egg leaves the ovary and passes through
the fallopian tube.
Day 15-28 The corpus luteum secretes progesterone;
the uterus lining builds up.

Menstruation and Pregnancy


(contd)
Pregnancy
If fertilization occurs, the egg implants in the
uterine endometrium.
The placenta forms, attaches to the uterine
wall.
Amnion holds the fetus in an amniotic cavity.
Nutrients, oxygen, and wastes exchange
between the fetus and mother.
The placenta produces human chorionic
gonadotropin (hCG).
