Reproduction
- Fertilisation
- Def: Fusing of male
(sperm) and female
(ovum) nucleus
- Internal e.g. humans, birds, reptiles
- External e.g. fish
- Human fertilisation
- Egg and sperm fuse
- Cell division
- Ball of cells
- Embryo
- Implantation (embryo implants into uterus lining)
- Foetus (9-10 weeks) has limbs and looks
like human
- Puberty
- Male
- Testes produce sperm
- muscles develop
- Penis grows
- Voice breaks
- Growth spurt
- Hair
- Pubic
- Facial
- Underarm
- Stronger smell
- Female
- Growth spurt
- Stronger smell
- Ovaries produce eggs
- Breasts develop
- Hips widen
- Hair
- Underarm
- Pubic
- Gametes
- Sperm cell (male)
- Tail, streamlined shape
- Pointed head
- Chemicals
- Structures in cytoplasm for
energy to swim
- Nucleus (half genetic information)
- Produced in testes (lower temperature)
- Adapted for fertilisation
- Released in sugary liquid
(semen) , energy for
respiration/swim
- Egg cell/Ovum (female)
- Food reserves in cytoplasm
- Nucleus (half genetic information)
- Jelly covering
- Released from ovaries every 28
days in mature females
- Contraception
- Pill
- Condom
- Reproductive organs
- Male
- Testes (produce sperm)
- Sperm duct (Carries sperm form
testes to urethra)
- Urethra
- Penis (enters female)
- Female
- Ovaries produces eggs, released every 28 days)
- Fallopean tubes/ oviducts (carries egg from ovary to uterus)
- Uterus/ womb (baby develops)
- Cervix (neck of uterus, sperm deposited here
- Vagina (muscular tube where penis enters)
- Menstrual Cycle
- Monthly changes that occur in female reproductive system every
28 days
- Why? To prepare uterus lining for fertilised eggs
- Day 1-5. Lining shed i.e.period
- Repair of uterus wall. Lining thickens
- Day 14. Ovulation/egg release
- Lining stays thick, waiting for fertilised egg
- If no fertilised egg, cycle restarts
- If fertilised egg, implants into uterus lining
- Development of Foetus
- umbilical cord
- Carries food, oxygen, water from mother to baby
- Carries CO2 and waste from foetus to mother
- Acts as barrier to harmful substances but some pass
through e.g. drugs, alcohol, tobacco and viruses
- 2 bloods do not mix
- Amnion
- Amniotic fluid
- Protects and supports foetus
- Amniotic membrane
- Breaks at birth
- Placenta
- Substances exchanged between mothers and foetal blood
