An in-depth look into the process of human reproduction, from the formation of a 3-layer embryo during ovulation to the birth of a baby. Topics covered include meiosis, spermatogenesis, implantation, endometrium and menstrual cycle, placenta formation, and changes to the female anatomy during pregnancy and childbirth.

1o oocytes arrested in Meiosis I in female fetus After puberty, 1 primary oocyte/month completes Meiosis I as follicle matures Follicle ruptures-- ATTENTION--CELL LOOSE IN CELOM Oocyte enters Fallopian tube If fertilization occurs, Meiosis II occurs and oocyte becomes ovum
Sperms form in walls of seminiferous tubules Spermatogenic cells within sustentacular cells Meiosos proceeds as spermatocytes move towards lumen (4 sperm from each spermatocyte) Seminiferous tubulerete testis head/body/tail epididymis vas deferens (through spermatic cord around bladder) urethra

Form thick epithelial lining of seminiferous tubules
Tight junctiones between keep sperm proteins from entering bood
Produce testicular fluid which helps move sperm
Concentrate testosterone to stimulate sperm production
Produce inhibin which slows sperm production Fig. 24.
Implantation
Endometrium
and menstrual
cycle

Endometrium
and menstrual
cycle
Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5): Sloughed Functional layer of endometrium expelled through vagina as menstrua flow
Proliferative phase (Days 6-14): In response to estrogen from growing ovarian follicle, new functional layer elaborates
Ovulation (about Day 14)
Secretory phase (Days 15-28):
If pregnancy, secretory phase continues due to embryonic estrogen production
If no pregnancy, corpus luteum degenerates, estrogen drops leading to menstruation
