Gamete Formation

Introduction

Chromosomes carry genetic information

In humans, cells contain 46 chromosomes

Gametes carry only 23 chromosomes

Meiosis

Special type of cell division in the reproductive tract

Two cell divisions

Results in 4 daughter cells

Genetically unique

Spermatogenesis or oogenesis

Meiosis

Non-disjunction

Chromosomes fail to separate properly

Trisomy

Trisomy 13 and 18 = usually fatal

Trisomy 21= Down syndrome

Monosomy

Always fatal

Spermatogenesis

Begins within testes at puberty

Spermatogonia

Stem cells divide mitotically

Some undergo a growth phase

Become primary spermatocytes

Undergo 2 divisions

1. Produces 2 secondary spermatocytes (haploid)

2. Produces 4 spermatids → mature into a spermatozoa

Spermatogenesis

Sperm are dependent on sugar in testes and semen

Do not survive long outside of the body

Gain motility in epididymis

Page 16: The Reproductive System - Linn–Benton Community Collegecf.linnbenton.edu/mathsci/bio/jacobsr/upload/Reproductive... · 2011-05-31 · The Reproductive System . Gamete Formation

Oogenesis

Production of female gametes

Begins in fetus

Oogonia multiply by mitosis

Develop into primary oocytes within follicles

Eventually produce estrogen

Primary oocytes begin meiosis but stall in prophase I

About 400,000 present at birth

Oogenesis

Each month after puberty, a few primary oocytes are activated

One is selected each month to resume meiosis I

Result is two haploid cells

Effects of LH surge Triggers ovulation

Transforms ruptured follicle into corpus luteum (CL)

Figure 27.20a Correlation of anterior pituitary and ovarian hormones with structural changes of the ovary and uterus.

(a) Fluctuation of gonadotropin levels: Fluctuating

levels of pituitary gonadotropins (follicle-stimulating

hormone and luteinizing hormone) in the blood

regulate the events of the ovarian cycle.

Luteal Phase

Corpus luteum remains functional only if pregnancy occurs

Functions

Produces estrogen and progesterone

Inhibit pituitary release of LH and FSH

Maintain uterine lining

Luteal Phase

No fertilization corpus luteum degenerates ovarian

hormone levels drop sharply

Birth control pills

Mimic hormones produced by corpus luteum

Prevent ovulation

The Menstrual Cycle Definition

Cyclic changes in endometrium in response to ovarian hormones

Three phases

1. Days 1–5: Menstrual phase

2. Days 6–14: Proliferative (preovulatory) phase

3. Days 15–28: Secretory (postovulatory) phase

Figure 27.20d

(d) The three phases of the uterine cycle:

• Menstrual: Shedding of the functional layer of the

endometrium.

• Proliferative: Rebuilding of the functional layer of

the endometrium.

• Secretory: Begins immediately after ovulation.

Enrichment of the blood supply and glandular secretion of

nutrients prepare the endometrium to receive an embryo.

Both the menstrual and proliferative phases occur before ovulation, and

together they correspond to the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle. The

secretory phase corresponds in time to the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle.

The Menstrual Cycle

Menstrual phase (days 1-5)

Follicles growing within ovary during this time

Functional layer of endometrium sloughs

Menstrual flow occurs

Endometrial tissue, fluid, and mucus pass through vagina

The Menstrual Cycle

Proliferative phase (days 6-14) Estrogen from follicle stimulates growth of endometrium

Preparation for pregnancy

Ovulation usually occurs at the end of this cycle (day 14)

The Menstrual Cycle

Secretory phase

Corresponds with luteal phase of ovarian cycle

Progesterone and estrogen produced after ovulation

Further development of endometrium

The Menstrual Cycle

Secretory phase

In the absence of fertilization

Estrogen and progesterone levels fall

Endometrium deteriorates

CL degenerates

Another menstrual cycle begins

If fertilization occurs Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) produced

Maintains CL

Fluctuating levels of ovarian hormones (estrogens

and progesterone) cause the endometrial changes

of the uterine cycle. The high estrogen levels are

also responsible for the LH/FSH surge in (a).

Menopause

Cessation of reproductive cycles

By age 45-50 ovarian follicles cease to respond to FSH and LH

Follicles stop producing estrogen

No inhibition of pituitary

No LH surge

No ovulation, no corpus luteum, no progesterone

Page 39: The Reproductive System - Linn–Benton Community Collegecf.linnbenton.edu/mathsci/bio/jacobsr/upload/Reproductive... · 2011-05-31 · The Reproductive System . Gamete Formation

Menopause

Symptoms associated with high FSH and LH levels

a) Vaginal dryness

b) Irritability/depression

c) Vasodilation of skin blood vessels hot flashes & night sweats

d) Thinning of skin, breast atrophy

Clinical findings

Increased cholesterol

Loss of bone mass (osteoporosis)
