Topics in Human Reproduction
1. Male Reproductive System
- The male reproductive system is located in the pelvic region and includes a pair of testes, accessory ducts, accessory glands, and external genitalia.
- The testes are situated outside the abdominal cavity in the scrotum.
- The scrotum maintains the testes at a temperature 2–2.5° C lower than normal internal body temperature, which is necessary for spermatogenesis.
2. Female Reproductive System
- The female reproductive system consists of a pair of ovaries, a pair of oviducts, uterus, cervix, vagina, external genitalia, and mammary glands.
- The ovaries are the primary female sex organs and produce ova and steroid hormones.
- Each ovary is 2 to 4 cm in length.
3. Gametogenesis: Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis
- Gametogenesis is the process by which gametes are formed.
- Spermatogenesis occurs in the testes and begins at puberty due to increased GnRH secretion.
- GnRH stimulates the anterior pituitary to release LH and FSH.
4. Menstrual Cycle
- The reproductive cycle in female primates is called the menstrual cycle.
- Menarche is the first menstruation at puberty.
- The cycle repeats at an average interval of 28/29 days.
