Draw a labelled diagram of male reproductive system. Answer: Vas deferens. Drawia labelled diagram of the female reproductive system. Answer:Write ovo mar functions each of testis and ovary. Answer: Testes - Testes are the primary sexual organs in males. Two major functions oftestees are * Testosterone production from Leydig cells, + Producion of sperm cells in seminiferous tubules. (Ovary ~ Ovaries are the primary female sex organs, Two main functions of ovaries are *+ Productions of female germ ces called eggs or oocytes * Production of hormones ~ estrogens & progesterone which affect any of the female secondary sexual characters & reproductive functions. Describe the structure ofa seminiferous tubule Answer: The testis has about 250 compartments (Testicular lobules) which contain 1-3 highly coiled ‘seminiferous tubules. Each tubule s lined by 2 types of cells. Male germ cel (immature) (spermatogonia) and Sertol ces. ‘Male germ cells form sperms by meiosis and Sertl cells provide nutrition to these germ calls Male germ cells and Sertoli cells together form germinal epithelium. A seminiferous tubule is ‘Covered outside by a basement membrane.Drawa labelled diagram of sperm. Answer: ama embrane Aerosorne Nucleus cnttning Heaa| ‘hrossuomal materia ae ple (energy s0ure fr set What is oogenesis? Give a bret action of oogenesis Answer: Process of formation, development and maturation of haploid ovum or female gamete from diploid germinal cel ofthe ovary. Celis of the germinal epithelium of ovary undergo repeated mitotic dwisions to form diploid Oogonia or gamete mother cels. They are formed inthe ftal ovary in large number by mitotic isin from primary oocyte,4. Corpus luteum: It secretes the hormone progesterone, which prepares the uterus for implantation. if implantation fails the corpus luteum becomes inactive and degerverates. ‘fan embryo gets implanted, the corpus luteum continues to secrete progesterore until the fourth month f pregnancy, after thatthe placenta takes over this function. Endometriunm I icthe micous membrane lining the uterus, which becomes Drogressively thicker and more glandular and has an incressed blood supply in the latter part of the menstrual cycle. Ths prepares the endometrium for implantation of the ‘embryo, but if this does not occur much ofthe endometrium breaks down andis lost in _menstruation. if pregnancy i established the endometrium becomes the decidua, which Isshed after birth, -Acrosome: A membranous 53 at or near the front of a sperm that assists in penetration ofthe egg, The acrosome contains enzymes, which are released when the sperm, contacts the egg pror to fertiisation, The enzymes break down the outer layers Of the 28g to permit entryot the sperm, ‘Sperm tat The tall sa fine vibrating posterior portion ofthe sperm which helps in ‘swimming, This abity to swim (called motility is essential for male fetity as the sperm hhasto svi up the vagina canal, cervix and cervical canal to reach tothe ovtim, 5. Fimbriae: They help: inthe collection of ovum after ovulation,
