Resource summary
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
