B. Construct a columnar presentation of the structures and functions of both male and
female reproductive structures.
PARTS FUNCTION
1. PUBIC BONE The pubic bone is not directly
involved in the function of the
male reproductive system.
However, it is a part of the pelvis,
which provides support and
stability for the organs of the
reproductive and urinary systems.
The pubic bone helps to hold the
scrotum in place, which contains
The pubic bone is a part of the the testes, the primary
pelvic girdle. The pubic bones are reproductive organs in males.
roughly triangular in shape and
have several surfaces, processes,
and openings that play a role in the
skeletal and muscular system.
2. URINARY BLADDER The urinary bladder is not directly
involved in the function of the
male reproductive system; it's
main function is to store urine
until it is eliminated from the body
through the urethra during
urination.
Morula is the name given to a ball of cells that forms during the early stages of embryonic
development. It is formed after the fertilization of an egg by a sperm and before the formation of the
blastocyst. The process of forming a morula is called morulation. During morulation, the fertilized
egg undergoes several rounds of cell division, called cleavage, which results in the formation of the
ball of cells. After the formation of the morula, the cells continue to divide and differentiate to form
the various tissues and structures of the embryo.
b. Draw the blastulation process. Label the important parts and/or events.
Blastulation is the process by which a morula transforms into a blastocyst. This process typically
begins around the fourth day of embryonic development. As the morula continues to divide and
differentiate, the cells begin to arrange themselves into an inner cell mass (ICM) and an outer layer
of cells called the trophectoderm. The inner cell mass will eventually give rise to the fetus, while the
trophoblast will form the placenta.
c. Draw the gastrulation process. Label the important parts and/or events.
d. Identify the organ that developed from the three germ layers by completing he table below:
Endoderm mesoderm ectoderm
The endoderm germ layer is the The mesoderm germ layer is the It gives rise to a variety of

to a variety of organs and wide variety of organs and nervous system, eye, mouth
structures, including the structures, including muscles, and anus, inner ear, teeth,

bladder and urethra, and
thymus. These organs and
structures play important roles
in the proper functioning of the
body.
e. Differentiate embryonic development from fetal development.
Embryonic development and fetal development are the two stages of development that occur after
fertilization and before birth.
Embryonic development refers to the period of development from fertilization to the end of the
eighth week of gestation. During this stage, the fertilized egg undergoes a series of rapid cell divisions
and differentiations, forming the three primary germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm) and
the various organs and structures of the body. This stage is characterized by the formation of the
embryonic body plan, including the formation of the head, brain, heart, and other vital organs.
Fetal development, on the other hand, refers to the period of development from the ninth week of
gestation to birth. During this stage, the organs and structures that were formed during embryonic
development continue to grow and mature. The fetus develops more complex structures such as the
limbs, fingers, toes, and genitals. The fetus also develops the ability to move, and the brain and
nervous system are rapidly developing. This stage is characterized by the growth and maturation of
the fetus, which leads to the formation of a fully formed and functional baby at the time of birth.
In summary, embryonic development is the stage of development that occurs from fertilization to
the end of the eighth week of gestation, and it's characterized by the formation of the embryonic body
plan and organs. Fetal development is the stage of development that occurs from the ninth week of
gestation to birth, and it's characterized by the growth and maturation of the fetus, leading to the
formation of a fully formed and functional baby at the time of birth.
