Slide 2-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Male reproductive system Gonads – testes Produces sperm and secretes hormones System of ducts – transport and stores sperm, assists in their maturation, and conveys them to the exterior Epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra Accessory sex glands – adds secretions to semen Seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands Supporting structures Scrotum supports testes and penis delivers sperm into female reproductive tract

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Seminferous tubule cells Spermatogenic cells – sperm-forming cells Spermatagonia (stem cell) develop from primordial germ cells that arise in yolk sac and enter testes in 5th week of development Primary spermatocytes → secondary spermatocytes → spermatids → sperm cells → lumen Sertoli cells or sustenacular cells– support cells Tight junction form blood-testis barrier – prevents immune response against sperm cell surface antigens Nourish spermatocytes, spermatids and sperm, phagocytize excess spermatid cytoplasm, control movements of spermatogenic cells, release sperm into lumen, produce fluid for sperm transport, secrete inhibin, regulate effects of testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Leydig (interstitial) cells found in spaces between seminiferous tubules Secrete testosterone

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Spermatogenesis Takes 65-75 days Begins with spermatogonia – diploid (2n) Stem cells undergo mitosis to replace themselves and some continue development Primary spermatocytes – diploid (2n) Each duplicates its DNA and meiosis begins Meiosis I – homologous pairs line up, crossing over occurs Secondary spermatocytes (haploid or n) 2 cells at end of Meiosis I Each chromosome made up of 2 chromatids attached at centromere Meiosis II – 2 chromatids separate Spermatids – 4 haploid cells at end of meiosis II Cells remain attached to each other by cytoplasmic bridges Spermiogenesis – development of spermatids into sperm Spherical spermatids transform into elongated sperm Acrosome and flagella form, mitochondria multiply Sertoli cells dispose of excess cytoplasm Spermiation – release from connections to Sertoli cells Not yet able to swim

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Hormonal control of testes At puberty, secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) increases Stimulates anterior pituitary to increase secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) LH stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone Synthesized from cholesterol mainly in testes Suppresses secretion of LH and GnRH via negative feedback Enzyme 5 alpha-reductase converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in external genitals and prostate FSH acts indirectly on spermatogenesis FSH and testosterone act on Sertoli cells to stimulate secretion of androgen-binding protein (ABP) ABP binds testosterone keeping concentration high Testosterone stimulates spermatogenesis Sertoli cells release inhibin which inhibits FSH

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Oogenesis and follicular development Formation of gametes in ovary Oogenesis begins before females are born Essentially same steps of meiosis as spermatogenesis During early fetal development, primordial (primitive) germ cells migrate from yolk sac to ovaries Germ cells then differentiate into oogonia – diploid (2n) stem cells Before birth, most germ cells degenerate – atresia A few develop into primary oocytes that enter meiosis I during fetal development Each covered by single layer of flat follicular cells – primordial follicle About 200,000 to 2,000,000 at birth, 40,00 remain at puberty, and around 400 will mature during a lifetime
Slide 31-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Follicular development Each month from puberty to menopause, FSH and LH stimulate the development of several primordial follicles Usually, only one reaches ovulation Primordial follicles develop into primary follicles Primary oocyte surrounded by granulosa cells Forms zona pellucida between granulosa cells and primary oocyte Stromal cells begin to form theca folliculi Primary follicles develop into secondary follicles Theca differentiates into theca interna secreting estrogens and theca externa Granulosa cells secrete follicular fluid in antrum Innermost layer of granulosa cells attaches to zona pellucida forming corona radiata

Slide 33-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Follicular development Secondary follicle becomes mature (graffian) follicle Just before ovulation, diploid primary oocyte completes meiosis I Produces 2 unequal sized haploid (n) cells – first polar body is discarded and secondary oocyte At ovulation, secondary oocyte expelled with first polar body and corona radiata If fertilization does not occur, cells degenerate If a sperm penetrates secondary oocyte, meiosis II resumes Secondary oocyte splits into 2 cells of unequal size – second polar body (also discarded) and ovum or mature egg Nuclei of sperm cell and ovum unite to form diploid zygote

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. The Female Reproductive Cycle Encompasses ovarian and uterine cycle, hormonal changes that regulate them, and related changes in breast and cervix Ovarian cycle – series of events in ovaries that occur during and after maturation of oocyte Uterine (menstrual) cycle – concurrent series of changes in uterine endometrium preparing it for arrival of fertilized ovum
Slide 49-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Hormonal regulation Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) Secreted by hypothalamus controls ovarian and uterine cycle Stimulates release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from anterior pituitary FSH Initiate follicular growth Stimulate ovarian follicles to secrete estrogens LH Stimulates further development of ovarian follicles Stimulate ovarian follicles to secrete estrogens Stimulates thecal cells of developing follicle to produce androgens to be converted into estrogens Triggers ovulation Promotes formation of corpus luteum – produces estrogens, progesterone, relaxin and inhibin
Slide 50-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Hormonal regulation Estrogens secreted by ovarian follicles Promote development and maintenance of female reproductive structures and secondary sex characteristics Increases protein anabolism including building strong bones Lowers blood cholesterol Inhibit release of GnRH, LH and FSH Progesterone Secreted mainly by corpus luteum Works with estrogens to prepare and maintin endometrium for implantation and mammary glands for milk production Inhibits secretion of GnRH and LH
Slide 51-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Hormonal regulation Relaxin Produced by corpus luteum Relaxes uterus by inhibiting contraction of myometrium At end of pregnancy, increases flexibility of pubic symphysis and dilates uterine cervix Inhibin Secreted by granulosa cells of growing follicles and by corpus luteum Inhibits secretion of FSH and LH

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 4 Phases Typical duration 24-35 days Assume a duration of 28 days Menstrual phase Preovulatory phase Ovulation Postovulatory phase
Slide 54-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. The female reproductive cycle
Slide 55-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Menstrual phase or menstruation Roughly first 5 days of cycle First day of menstruation is day 1 of new cycle Events in ovaries Under FSH influence, several primordial follicles develop into primary follicles ad then into secondary follicles Takes several months Follicle that begins to develop in one cycle may not mature for several cycles later Events in uterus Menstrual discharge occurs because declining levels of estrogens and progesterone stimulate release of prostaglandins causing uterine spiral arterioles to constrict Cells deprived of oxygen begin to die Only stratum basilis remains
Slide 56-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Preovulatory phase More variable in length Lasts from days 6-13 in a 28 day cycle Events in ovaries Some of secondary follicles begin to secrete estrogens and inhibin Dominant follicle – one follicle outgrown all others Estrogens and inhibin of dominant follicle decrease FSH causing other follicles to stop growing Fraternal (nonidentical) twins result when 2 or 3 secondary follicles become codominant and are ovulated and fertilized at the same time
Slide 57-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Preovulatory phase Normally, one dominant follicle becomes the mature (graffian) follicle In ovarian cycle, menstrual and preovulatory phases are termed follicular phase because follicles are growing Events in uterus Estrogens stimulate repair of endometrium Cells of stratum basalis undergo mitosis to form new stratum functionalis Thickness of endometrium doubles In uterine cycle, preovulatory phase is the proliferative phase because endometrium is proliferating
Slide 58-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Ovulation Rupture of mature (graffian) follicle and release of secondary oocyte Day 14 of 28 day cycle High levels of estrogens exert a positive feedback effect on cells secreting LH and GnRH
Slide 59-

High levels of estrogens from almost mature follicle stimulate release of more GnRH and LH Hypothalamus Anterior pituitary Ovary Corpus hemorrhagicum (ruptured follicle) Almost mature (graafian) follicle LH GnRH 1 High levels of estrogens from almost mature follicle stimulate release of more GnRH and LH Hypothalamus Anterior pituitary GnRH promotes release of FSH and more LH Ovary Corpus hemorrhagicum (ruptured follicle) Almost mature (graafian) follicle LH GnRH 1 2 High levels of estrogens from almost mature follicle stimulate release of more GnRH and LH LH surge brings about ovulation Ovulated secondary oocyte Hypothalamus Anterior pituitary GnRH promotes release of FSH and more LH Ovary Corpus hemorrhagicum (ruptured follicle) Almost mature (graafian) follicle LH GnRH 1 2 3
Slide 60-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Postovulatory phase Duration most constant of phases Lasts for 14 days in 28 day cycle (day 15-28) Events in one ovary After ovulation, mature follicle collapses to form corpus luteum under the influence of LH Secretes progesterone, estrogen, relaxin and inhibin In the ovarian cycle, this is the luteal phase
Slide 61-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Corpus luteum If oocyte not fertilized, corpus luteum lasts 2 weeks Degenerates in corpus albicans As levels of progesterone, estrogens and inhibin decrease, release of GnRH, FSH, and LH rise sue to loss of negative feedback Follicular growth resume as new ovarian cycle begins If oocyte is fertilized, corpus luteum lasts more than 2 weeks Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) produced by chorion of embryo about 8 days after fertilization stimulates corpus luteum
Slide 62-

Copyright 2009, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Events in uterus Progesterone and estrogens produced by corpus luteum promote growth of endometrium Because of secretory activity of endometrial glands, this is the secretory phase of uterine cycle Changes peak about 1 week after ovulation when a fertilized ovum might arrive in uterus If fertilization does not occur, levels of progesterone and estrogens decline due to degeneration of corpus luteum Withdrawal of estrogens and progesterone causes menstruation
