Testes (male gonads)
-Produce sperm
-Produce sex hormones
-Found in a sac called the scrotum
-Suspended outside of the body cavity for
temperature reduction
![Page 4: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
-Testes wall made of fibrous connective
tissue (Divides the testes into lobules
(Chambers)
- Inside chambers are long tubes (70 cm)
called the Seminiferous tubules) .
- This is the actual site for spermatogenesis.
- Interstitial cells secretes androgens
“testosterone”
![Page 5: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Spermatogenesis –Sperm Development
Sperms cells are derived from undifferentiated cells called
SPERMATOGONIA (sing. Spermatogonium), which lie just on
the outside wall of a tubule and divide mitotically (dividing into
copies), always producing new spermatogonia.
![Page 7: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Some newly formed spermatogonia move away from the outer
wall to increase in size and become primary spermatocytes,
which undergo meiosis, a type of cell division.
Primary spermatocytes, with 46 chromosomes, divide to give 2
secondary spermatocytes, each with 23 chromosomes.
![Page 8: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Secondary spermatocytes divide to produce 4 spermatids, also
with 23 chromosomes.
![Page 9: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Spermatids then differentiate into sperm (spermatozoa).
Also present in the tubules are the sertoli, which support, nourish
and regulate the spermatogenic cells.

and stores sperm
Penis -Serves as an organ of
copulation
![Page 16: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Path of Sperm
1. Formed in the seminiferous tubules of the testes
2. Mature and stored in the epididymus
3. Stored in the Vas Deferens
4. Enters the urethra just prior to ejaculation
5. Accessory glands (prostate, Cowper’s gland, and
seminal vesicle) add secretions to semen.
6. Semen and sperm exit through the penis.

Function of Testosterone
1. Essential for development of primary sex
organs.
2. Essential for the development of sperm
-spermatogenic cells take up testosterone
which stimulate their activity.
3. Increased testosterone concentration at
puberty causes maturation of penis and
testes.

![Page 22: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hormonal Control of Testosterone
-Hypothalamus releases GnRH
(Gonadotropic releasing hormone)
-GnRH causes anterior pituitary to release 2
gonadotropic hormones:
![Page 23: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone)
-promotes spermatogenesis in the
seminiferous tubules
LH (LeutenizingHormone)
-promotes production of testosterone in
interstitial cells.
![Page 24: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
Increased testosterone concentration in the blood causes the anterior pituitary to make less LH, therefore less testosterone is produced.
Decreased testosterone concentration in the blood causes the anterior pituitary to make more LH and therefore more testosterone is produced.
![Page 25: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Increased concentration of stored sperm causes an
increase in production of inhibin and decreases
production of FSH, therefore production of sperm
decreases.
Decreased concentration of stored sperm causes a
decrease in production of inhibin and more FSH,
therefore more sperm is produced.

Fimbriae
- finger-like projections of the oviducts which brush over the
ovaries.
-along with cilia in the oviducts, they cause a current which
sweeps the egg into the oviduct

pituitary
2. FSH and LH stimulates ovary for follicle growth from pituitary gland
![Page 36: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
3. Primary follicle (46 chromosomes) contains primary oocyte
(egg cell) which divides.
(produces female sex hormones)
One oocyte gets most cytoplasm and 23 chromosomes.
(called a secondary oocyte, which is inside the now
secondary follicle)

Hypothalamus secretes GnRH (gonadotropic releasing hormone) and causes the anterior pituitary to secrete FSH and LH
FSH causes follicles to mature. Maturing follicles produce estrogen.
Increase in estrogen concentration
causes the anterior pituitary to stop
producing FSH and LH(negative feedback)

Around day 12, the increased levels of estrogen suddenly cause
positive feedback on the anterior pituitary and stimulate the
release of FSH and large amounts of LH.
This surge of LH triggers ovulation.
LH then triggers the remaining follicle cells to differentiate into the
corpus luteum which secretes progesterone and some estrogen.

Estrogen promotes the thickening of the endometrium
Progesterone stimulates the endometrium to mature and
become secretory.
These changes are to prepare for the possibility of
fertilization, implantation and pregnancy.

At the end of the cycle, if the egg has not been fertilized or
implantation and pregnancy do not occur, the corpus luteum
breaks down and stops releasing estrogen and progesterone.
Without these hormones, the uterine lining (endometrium) breaks
down and menstruation starts.

Implantation
Fertilization (sperm cell enters the oocyte) occurs in the oviduct. The joining of the two cells forms an embryo.
Implantation of the embryo occurs in the uterus.
Embryo embeds itself in the endometrium
several days after fertilization.
Pregnancy has now begun.

Implantation starts the production of the hormone HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) which prevents the corpus luteum from degenerating.
It is found immediately in blood and a few days later in the urine. Ex. Pregnancy test. (About one week later)

HCG prevents the breakdown of the Corpus Luteum. The
Corpus Luteum produces progesterone that keeps the
endometrium from breaking down.
FSH and LH production is inhibited which stops the egg from
being released.

The placenta begins to develop from embryonic and maternal tissues after implantation.
Placenta
Contains both maternal and fetal tissue
Area where gas and nutrients exchange occurs.
No exchange of blood
Diffusion of gases and wastes and nutrients occur
over the cell layers

Placenta produces HCG, progesterone (prevents breakdown
of the endometrium) and estrogen (keeps new egg from
developing)

Oxytocin and Positive Feedback – Giving Birth
![Page 72: Unit – P Reproduction · become enlarged and urination becomes quite painful. (surgically fixed) - Helps produce seminal fluid. Urethra-Conducts sperm out of the body Ductus Vas](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f09b2317e708231d428137b/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Oxytocin used to induce birth. Oxytocin causes uterine contractions,
which in turn stimulate the release of more oxytocin. Positive
feedback.
Oxytocin also causes mammary glands to release milk. Lobules
containing milk contract forcing milk into ducts which lead to the
nipple.
