C14.3 list the components of the seminal fluid (as contributed by the Cowper’s glands, prostate gland, and seminal vesicles), and describe the functions of each component
Two seminal vesicles contribute 60% of the volume of semen – thick yellowish, alkaline, contains mucus and fructose, ascorbic acid and prostaglandins. (In this situation prostaglandins induce smooth muscle of female uterine
wall to contract.) Prostrate secretes directly into urethra thin milky fluid containing citrate
(sperm nutrient) Bulbourethral Glands secrete clear mucous that neutralises any urine in
the urethra before ejaculation and also carry some sperm released before ejaculation.
C14.4 identify the tail (flagellum), midpiece, head, and acrosome of a mature sperm and state their functions
Label the following diagram of a mature sperm:

The male and female reproductive systems are controlled by the hypothalamus region of the brain working together with the anterior pituitary gland, as illustrated in the following diagram. Highlight the pituitary hormones that control reproduction:
Page 11 of 31
C14.6 describe the homeostatic regulation of testosterone levels by the
hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, and testes
Hypothalamus of brain releases GnRH, Gonadotropic Releasing Hormone.
GnRH stimulates anterior pituitary to release FSH and LH FSH stimulates sperm production in seminiferous tubules of testes;
LH stimulates testosterone in the interstitial cells (Leydig) of the testes
Testosterone inhibits the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary so levels of GnRH, FSH and LH stabilize. This is negative feedback.
Testosterone production drops because of lower levels of LH(an example of negative feedback)

C15.5 describe the control of the ovarian and uterine cycles by hormones including gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone
Note: this is figure 27.6 in text. See explanations in text. (Concept 27.6 on pp 542 and 543)
Page 20 of 31
Write notes here for control of ovarian and uterine cycles:
1. Hypothalamus secretes GnRH which stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete FSH and LH
2. FSH stimulates follicle in ovary to grow during follicular phase; estrogen secreted from follicle
3. Estrogen stimulates proliferative phase of the uterine cycle
4. Burst of LH stimulates ovulation around day 14
5. LH stimulate development of corpus luteum during luteal phase; progesterone is secreted from corpus luteum
6. Progesterone stimulates the secretory phase of the uterine cycle
7. High levels of estrogen and progesterone exert negative feedback effect on the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, turning off FSH and LH
8. Corpus luteum degenerates, so levels of estrogen and progesterone fall
9. Endometrium is lost because of low levels of estrogen and progesterone.
10.Low levels of estrogen and progesterone mean the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary are no longer inhibited, so levels of FSH and LH start to rise again for the next cycle

C15.6 describe the hormonal changes that occur as a result of implantation, including– production of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to maintain the
corpus luteum– increased production of progesterone by the corpus luteum
http://www.nucleusanimationlibrary.com/animation-preview?ccat=all&clang=English&animationid=75011 Fertilization
In text, Concept 27.15 pp 554-555
1. Implantation refers to the attachment of the embryo to the lining of the uterus (the
endometrium).2. The embryo must signal the mother’s body that it is there, otherwise menstruation will
occur, and the baby will be spontaneously aborted. Remember that menstruation results when the levels of estrogen and progesterone (produced by the corpus luteum) drop at the end of the menstrual cycle (when the corpus luteum degenerates).
3. The embryo produces a hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) which enters the mother’s blood and cause the corpus luteum to be maintained, instead of degenerating.
4. Because the corpus luteum is maintained, the ovary keeps producing estrogen and progesterone.
5. The estrogen and progesterone maintain the lining of the uterus, so the baby can be nourished.
6. After about 3 months, the placenta itself is making enough estrogen and progesterone that the embryo no longer needs to make HCG.
Page 23 of 31
Fertilization or conception occurs in the oviduct. Twenty-four hours later, cleavage begins. Three to four days after fertilization, the embryo reaches the uterus as a ball of
16 cells. By one week after fertilization, the blastocyst forms as a sphere of cells
containing a cavity. After a few more days, the blastocyst implants in the endometrium. The embryo secretes hormones to control the mother’s reproductive system.
o The embryonic hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) acts like pituitary LH to maintain secretion of progesterone and estrogens by the corpus luteum for the first few months of pregnancy.
o Some HCG is excreted in the urine, where it is detected by pregnancy tests.

Page 24 of 31
For the first 2–4 weeks of development, the embryo obtains nutrients directly from the endometrium.
The outer layer of the blastocyst, the trophoblast, invades the endometrium and later forms the placenta.
The placenta allows diffusion of material between maternal and embryonic circulations, supplying nutrients, providing immune protection, exchanging respiratory gases, and disposing of metabolic wastes for the embryo.o Blood from the embryo travels to the placenta through arteries of the
umbilical cord and returns via the umbilical vein. Splitting of the embryo during the first month of development can result in
identical, or monozygotic (one-egg), twins. Fraternal, or dizygotic, twins arise when two follicles mature in a single cycle,
leading to separate fertilization and implantation of two genetically distinct embryos.
Page 25 of 31
Organogenesis, the development of the body organs, occurs during the first trimester.
o By the end of week eight, all the major structures of the adult are present in rudimentary form, and the embryo is called a fetus.
o The heart begins beating by the fourth week; a heartbeat can be detected at 8 to 10 weeks.
o During organogenesis, the embryo is most sensitive to environmental insults such as radiation or drugs that can lead to birth defects.
By the end of the first trimester, the fetus is well differentiated but only 5 cm long.
The mother is also undergoing major changes.o High levels of progesterone initiate changes in the maternal reproductive
system, including increased mucus in the cervix to form a protective plug against infection, growth of the maternal part of the placenta, enlargement of the uterus, and cessation of ovarian and menstrual cycling.
o The breasts enlarge rapidly and may be tender.o About three-fourths of all pregnant women experience nausea during the
first trimester. During the second trimester, the fetus grows rapidly to 30 cm and is very
active.o The mother may feel movements during the early part of the second
trimester, although fetal activity is not visible through the abdominal wall until one to two months later.
o Hormonal levels stabilize as HCG levels decline; the corpus luteum deteriorates; and the placenta takes over the secretion of progesterone, which maintains the pregnancy.
During the third trimester, the fetus grows rapidly to about 3–4 kg in weight and 50 cm in length.o Fetal activity may decrease as the fetus fills the space available to it.o Maternal abdominal organs become compressed and displaced, leading to
frequent urination, digestive blockages, and back strain. A complex interplay of local regulators (prostaglandins) and hormones
(estradiol and oxytocin) induces and regulates labor. Birth, or parturition, is brought about by strong, rhythmic uterine contractions. The process of labor has three stages.
o The first stage is the opening up and thinning of the cervix, ending in complete dilation.
o The second stage is the expulsion of the baby as a result of strong uterine contractions.
o The third stage is delivery of the placenta. Lactation is unique to mammals.
o In response to suckling by the newborn, as well as changes in estradiol levels after birth, the hypothalamus signals the anterior pituitary to secrete prolactin, which stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk.
o Suckling also stimulates the secretion of a posterior pituitary hormone, oxytocin, which triggers release of milk from the mammary glands.
Page 26 of 31
Reproductive immunologists are working to understand why mammalian mothers do not reject the embryo as a foreign body, despite its paternal antigens.o The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease of the joints,
become less severe during pregnancy, suggesting that regulation of the immune system may be altered by pregnancy.

describe a positive feedback mechanism involving oxytocin
In text, Concept 27.17 on p 558
1.
Baby in uterus stimulates stretch receptors2. Stretch receptors send nerve impulse to hypothalamus3. Hypothalamus sends oxytocin to posterior pituitary along axons of neurosecretory cells4. Posterior pituitary sends oxytocin in blood. Oxytocin causes uterus to contract pushing baby
harder against the stretch receptors.5. More impulses sent to hypothalamus; more oxytocin; more contractions...etc6. This is an example of positive feedback because the original stimulus makes the response even
stronger. Positive feedback does NOT lead to homeostasis. The only way out of this one is for the baby to be born!
