Reproduction
Reproduction is process to maintain
continuation of species by which
- new individuals of a species are produced - genetic material is passed from generation
to generation
Cell division in a multicellular organism is
necessary for growth and it involves passing of genetic material from parent cells to daughter cells
(3)
The Reproductive System
does not contribute to homeostasis
is not essential for survival of an individual
But still plays a i porta t i a perso ’s life,
e.g. the manner:
- in which people relate as sexual beings contributes in significant ways to
psychosocial behavior
- how people view themselves
(4)
The Reprodu tive “yste …..
Reproductive function also has a profound effect on society:
- universal organization of societies into
family units provide a stable environment that is conducive for perpetuating our
species
- on other hand, population explosion and its resultant drain on dwindling resources
have led to worldwide concern with means by which reproduction can be limited
(5)
The Reprodu tive “yste …..
Reproductive capability depends on intricate
relationship among hypothalamus, anterior
pituitary, reproductive organs, and target cells
of sex hormones
These relationship employ many of regulatory
mechanisms used by other body systems for
maintaining homeostasis, such as
(6)
The Reprodu tive “yste …..
Sexual behavior and attitudes are deeply influenced by emotional factors and socio-cultural mores of the society in which the individual lives
However, Reproductive Physiology will
concentrate on basic sexual and reproductive functions that are under nervous and hormonal control, and will not examine physiological and social ramifications of sexual behavior
(7)
The Reprodu tive “yste …..
The organ of male and female may be grouped by function
Testes and ovaries (gonads), function in production of gametes: sperm and ova Gonads also secrete hormones
The ducts of reproductive systems transport, receive, and store gametes
Accessory sex glands produce materials that support gametes
(8)
The Reproductive System
…..
In females, the breasts are also considered accessory reproductive organs
The externally visible portions of reproductive system are known as external genitalia
The production of gametes and fluid, and their discharge into ducts classify the gonads as
exocrine glands
Whereas the production of hormones classify the gonads as endocrine glands
(9)
Secondary Sexual Characteristic
Secondary sexual characteristic are many external
characteristics not directly involved in
reproduction
That distinguish male and female
Development and maintenance governed by
testosterone in males and estrogen in females Progesterone has no influence on secondary
sexual characteristic
Axillary and pubic hair growth is not secondary sexual characteristic
(10)
Secondary Sexual Characteristic
..…
In some species, secondary sexual
characteristic are great importance in courting
a d ati g ehavior e.g. to attra t fe ale’s
attention)
In humans, attraction the opposite sex not only influenced by secondary sexual characteristic but also strongly affected by the complexities of human society and cultural behavior
(11)
Overview of Functions and Organs of Male Reproductive System
The essential reproductive functions of male are:
1. Production of sperm (spermatogenesis) by testes (in skin-covered sac: scrotum)
2. Delivery of sperm to female – semen by - male reproductive tract: epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct
- urethra (in penis)
3. Male accessory sex glands: providing bulk of semen: seminal vesicle, prostate,
(12)
(13)
Overview of Functions and Organs
of Female Reproductive System
Female’s role i reprodu tio is ore o pli ated:
1. Production of ova (oogenesis) by ovaries
2. Reception of sperm: vagina-cervix
3. Reception of sperm and ovum to a common site for union (fertilization or conception): Fallopian tube
4. Maintenance of the developing fetus until it can survive in outside world (gestation or pregnancy), including formation of placenta (organ exchange between mother and fetus): uterus
5. Giving birth to the baby (parturition)
6. Nourishing the infant after birth by milk production (lactation): mammae
(14)
Overview of Functions and Organs
of Fe ale Reprodu tive “yste …..
Product of fertilization: embryo
During first 2 months of intrauterine
development when tissue differentiation is taking place
Developing living being is recognizable as human: fetus
- no further tissue differentiation
(15)
Overview of Functions and Organs
of Fe ale Reprodu tive “yste …..
Female reproductive tract consists of:
Ovaries
Oviduct s (Fallopian tubes)
- pick up ova on ovulation and serve as fertilization site
Uterus, thick-walled hollow: responsible for
- maintaining fetus during development , and - expelling it at the end of pregnancy
Cervical canal
- small opening of cervix
- pathway for sperm to uterus then to oviduct - passageway for delivery of baby from uterus
Cervix
(16)
Overview of Functions and Organs
of Fe ale Reprodu tive “yste ……
Vagina
- expandable tube
- connects uterus to external environment
Vaginal opening
- located in perineal region
- between urethral opening and anal opening
Hymen
- thin mucus membrane partially covering vaginal opening
• Labia minora and labia majora
- skin folds surrounding vaginal and urethral openings
• Clitoris
(17)

(19)
(20)
Sex Determination and Differentiation
Reproductive cells each contain a half set of chromosomes
Gametogenesis is accomplished by meiosis
The sex of and individual is determined by combination of sex chromosomes
Sexual differentiation along male or female lines depends on the presence/ absence of masculinizing determinant

Sex-determining region of Y chr (SRY) stimulates Production of H-Y antigen
In plasma membrane of undifferentiated gonad
H-Y antigen directs differentiation of gonads into testes
No Y chr, so no SRY and no H-Y antigen
With no H-Y antigen, undifferentiated gonads
develop into ovaries
Gonadal sex
(25)
Testosterone
Promotes development of undifferentiated external genitalia along male lines
(e.g. penis, scrotum)
Testes secrete hormone and factor
Phenotype sex Mullerian-inhibiting factor Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Converted to Degeneration of Mullerian ducts Transforms Wolfian ducts into male reproductive tract
(e.g. epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct,
(26)
(27)
(28)
Absence of testosterone
Undifferentiated external genitalia along female lines
(e.g. clitoris. labia)
Ovaries does not secrete hormone and factor
Phenotype sex
Absence of Mullerian- inhibiting factor Degeneration of
Wolfian ducts
Mullerian ducts develop Into female reproductive tract (e.g. oviducts, uterus)
(29)
Errors in Sexual Differentiation
Genetic sex and phenotype sex are usually
compatible
Occasionally, discrepancies occur
between genetic and anatomic sexes
(30)
Errors i “e ual Differe tiatio …..
1. If testes in a genetic male fail to properly
differentiate and secrete hormones, the result is the development of an apparent anatomic female in a genetic male, who, of course will be sterile.
Similarly, genetic males whose target cells lack receptors for testosterone are feminized, even though their testes secrete testosterone
(31)
Errors i “e ual Differe tiatio …..
2. Testosterone acts on Wolfian ducts to convert them into a male reproductive tract;
If testosterone derivative dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that responsible for masculinization of external genitalia because of genetic deficiency of the enzyme which converts testosterone
into DHT, results in a genetic male with testes and a male reproductive tract but with female external genitalia
(32)
Errors i “e ual Differe tiatio …..
3. Adrenal gland normally secretes a weak androgen, dehydroepiandrosterone in
insufficient quantities to masculinize females. If, pathologically excessive secretion of this hormone in a genetically female fetus during critical developmental stages imposes
differentiation of reproductive tract and genitalia along males lines
(33)
Errors i “e ual Differe tiatio …..
Sometimes, the discrepancies between genetic sex and apparent sex are not recognized until puberty, when discovery produces
psychologically traumatic gender identity crisis For instance: a masculinized genetic female
with ovaries, but with male type external
genitalia may be reared as a boy until puberty. When breast enlargement and lack of beard growth signal an apparent problem
(34)
Errors i “e ual Differe tiatio …….
Less dramatic cases of inappropriate sex differentiation often appear as sterility problems
Therefore, important to diagnose any
problems in sexual differentiation in infancy. It can be reinforced, if necessary, with surgical
and hormonal treatment, so that psychosexual development can proceed as normally as

(43)
Female Reproductive System
Reproductive system of women shows regular cyclic
changes that may be regarded as periodic preparation for fertilization and pregnancy
In humans and primate, the cycle is a menstrual cycle and its conspicuous feature is periodic vaginal bleeding that
occurs with the shedding of uterine mucosa (menstruation)
In other mammal: the sexual cycle is called estrous cycle, no episodic vaginal bleeding occurs, but the underlying endocrine events are essentially similar
- in some species: ovulation occurs spontaneously - in other species: ovulation is induced by copulation
(44)
Ovaries
Primary female reproductive organs Perform dual function:
- producing ova (oogenesis)
- secreting female sex hormones:
estrogen and progesterone which act together to: > promote fertilization of ovum
> prepare female reproductive system for pregnancy
Containing various levels of follicle development
(45)
Histology of the ovary. The arrows indicate the sequence of developmental stages that occur as part of ovarian cycle
(46)
Oogenesis
Undergo numerous mitotic divisions
± 7 month after conception, fetal oogonia cease dividing
From this point on, no new germ cells are generated
Still in the fetus, all oogonia develop into
(47)
Primary Oocyte
Begin a first meiotic division by replicating their DNA However, they do not complete the division in the fetus
Accordingly, all the eggs present at birth are primary
oocytes containing 46 chromosomes, each with two
sister chromatids
Cells are said to be in a state meiotic arrest
State meiotic arrest continues until puberty and the onset of renewed activity in ovaries
Only primary oocytes destined for ovulation will ever
complete the first meiotic division, for it occurs just before the egg is ovulated
(48)
Pri ary Oo yte…..
Each daughter cells receives 23 chromosomes, each with 2 chromatids
One of the two daughter cells, secondary oocytes retains virtually all cytoplasm (other is first polar body)
Thus, the primary oocytes:
- Already as large as the egg will be
- Passes on to be secondary oocyte half of its
chromosomes but almost all of its nutrient-rich cytoplasm
(49)
Secondary Oocyte
The second meiotic division occurs in a
fallopian tube after ovulation, but only if the secondary oocyte is fertilized (penetrated by a sperm)
Daughter cells each receive 23 chromosomes, each with a single chromatid
One of the two daughter cells, termed an ovum retains nearly all cytoplasm (other is second
(50)
Final Result of Oogenesis
Net result of oogenesis is
that
each primary oocyte
can produce only one

Mitosis of oogo iu → primary oocyte
Meiosis of primary oocyte, but do not complete
(beginning of the 1st eioti divisio → eioti arrest
Primary oocyte at birth containing 46 chromosomes 1st meiotic division is completed just before ovulation
→ secondary oocyte
2nd meiotic division occurs in a fallopian tube after
ovulation, but only if the secondary oocyte is fertilized (penetrated by a sperm)
(55)
Comparison of Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis
Spermatogenesis
Three major stages:1. Mitotic proliferation
2. Meiosis
3. Packaging/ spermiogenesis: physically
reshaping/ remodeling
± 64 days, from spermatogonium to mature sperm
Up to several hundred million sperm may reach maturity daily
(56)
(57)
Follicle
From the time of birth, there are many primordial follicles, each containing 1 primary oocyte
Progression of some primordial follicles to preantral and early antral stages occurs
- throughout infancy and childhood, and
- then during the entire menstrual cycle
Therefore, although most of follicles in ovaries are
still primordial, there are also always present a
relatively constant few number of preantral and early antral follicles
(58)
Menstrual Cycle
At the start of each menstrual cycle, 10-25 the
follicles begin to develop into larger follicles
In humans, usually one of the larger follicles in one ovary starts to grow rapidly on ± the 6thday, becomes
the dominant follicle
The dominant follicle continues to develop, and others (in both ovaries) regress and become a
degenerative process called atresia (an example of
programmed cell death, or apoptosis)
(59)
Ovulation
Mature follicle (Graafian follicle): ± 1,5 cm in
dia eter, that it alloo s out o ovary’s surfa e
Ovulation occurs when the thin walls of follicle and ovary at site where they are joined rupture because of enzymatic digestion
Secondary oocyte surrounded by its tightly
adhering zona pellucida and granulosa cells, as well as cumulus, is carried out of ovary and onto ovarian surface by antral fluid
(60)
Ovulatio …..
Occasionally, 2 or more follicles reach
maturity and more than 1 egg may be
ovulated
This is the most common of cause of
multiple births
In such cases, siblings are fraternal, not
identical, because the eggs carry different
sets of genes
(61)
LH
Follicular steroid hormones (progesterone)
Proteolytic enzymes (collagenase)
Follicular hyperemia and
Prostaglandin secretion
Weakened follicle wall Plasma transudation into follicle
Degeneration
of stigma Follicle swelling Follicle rupture
Evagination of ovum
(62)
(63)
Indicators of Ovulation
A surge in LH secretion triggers ovulation
- Ovulation normally occurs ± 9 h after the peak of LH surge - The ovum lives for ± 72 h after ovulation, but it is
fertilizable for a much shorter time
Research shows:
> Intercourse on the day of ovulation: pregnancy 36% > Intercourse on days after ovulation: pregnancy 0
> Intercourse 1-2 d before ovulation: pregnancy 36%
> A few pregnancies resulted from intercourse 3-5 d before ovulation (8% on day 5 before ovulation)
- Thus, some sperms can survive in the female genital tract and fertilize the ovum for up to 120 h before ovulation, but the most fertile period is clearly 48 h before ovulation
(64)
I di ators of Ovulatio …..
A change (usually rise) in basal body temperature
caused by secretion of progesterone, since progesterone is thermogenic
- The rise starts 1-2 d after ovulation
- Obtaining an accurate temperature chart should use a digital thermometer and take oral/rectal temperatures in the morning before getting out of bed
- Temperature change at the time of ovulation is probably caused by the increase in progesterone secretion
(65)
Basal body temperature and plasma LH and FSH concentrations (mean ± SE) during the normal human menstrual cycle
(66)
Formation of Corpus Luteum
After mature follicle discharges its antral fluid and egg, it collapses around antrum and undergoes rapid transformation
Granulosa cells enlarge greatly, and entire glandlike structure formed, known as corpus luteum (CL)
CL secretes estrogen, progesterone, inhibin
If the discharged egg (now in a fallopian tube) is not fertilized, CL reaches its maximum development
within ± 10 days.
CL then rapidly degenerates by apoptosis
It leads to menstruation and beginning of a new menstrual cycle
(67)
Granulosa Cell
Primordial follicles surrounded by a single layer of
granulosa cells
Granulosa cells secrete:
- estrogen ,
- small amounts of progesterone just before
ovulation
- peptide hormone inhibin
During childhood granulosa cells secrete: - nourishment for ova
(68)
Gra ulosa Cell…..
Further development from primordial follicle stage is characterized by
- an increase in size of oocyte
- a proliferation of granulosa cells into multiple layers
- separation of oocyte from inner granulosa cells by a
thick of material: zona pellucida
Granulosa cells produce one or more factors that act on primary oocytes to maintain them in meiotic arrest
(69)
Gra ulosa Cell…..
Inner layer of granulosa cells remains closely associated with oocyte by means of
cytoplasmic processes that traverse zona
pellucida and form gap junctions with oocyte
Nutrients and chemical messengers are passed to oocyte through gap junctions
Granulosa cells produce one or more factors that act on primary oocytes to maintain them in meiotic arrest
(70)
Theca Formation
As follicle grows by mitosis of granulosa cells, connective tissue cells surrounding granulosa cells differentiate and form layers known as
theca
Shortly after theca formation,
- Primary oocyte reaches full size (115 m in diameter)
- Antrum (fluid-filled space) begins to for in the midst of granulosa cells as result of fluid they secrete
(71)
Illustration of an ovary shows sequential development of follicle, the formation of corpus luteum and follicular atresia
(72)
Process of Atresia
Atresia is not limited to just antral follicles, follicles
can undergo atresia at any stage
This process is already occurring in utero so that the 2-4 million follicles and eggs are present at
birth represent only a small fraction of those
present at earlier time in the fetus
Atresia then continues all through pubertal life so
that only 200,000-400,000 follicles remain when
active reproductive life begins.
(73)
Pro ess of Atresia…..
Therefore, 99,99 % of ovarian
follicles present at birth will
undergo atresia
(74)
Sites of Synthesis of Ovarian Hormone
Estrogen is synthesized and released into blood:
- during follicular phase mainly by granulosa cells
- after ovulation, by CL
Progesterone is synthesized and released into
blood:
- in very small amounts by granulosa and theca cells just before ovulation
- major source is CL (after ovulation)
Inhibin is synthesized and released into blood: - by granulosa cells

Cyclical Changes in Cervix
The mucosa of cervix does not undergo cyclical desquamation
There are regular changes in cervical mucus:
- Estrogen makes the mucus thinner, watery, and more
alkali e → pro otes the survival a d tra sport of sper s
- At the time of ovulation the mucus is: > thinnest and fern-like pattern on slide
> its elasti ity i reases → a drop a e stret hed i to a
long (8 - ≥ , a d thi thread
- Progesterone makes the mucus thick, tenacious, and cellular
- After ovulation and during pregnancy: thick, no pattern

(83)
Cyclical Changes in Vagina
Under influence of estrogen:
- the vaginal epithelium becomes cornified that can be identified in the vaginal smear
Under influence of progesterone: - secretion of thick mucus
- the vaginal epithelium proliferates and becomes infiltrated with leukocytes
The cyclical changes in vaginal smear in rats are relatively marked; in humans and other species are similar, but not so clear cut
(84)
Cyclical Changes in Breast
Although lactation normally does not occur until the end of pregnancy, cyclical changes take place in the breasts during the menstrual cycle
Estrogens cause proliferation of mammary ducts Progesterone causes: growth of lobules and alveoli
The breast swelling, tenderness, and pain experienced by many women during the 10 day preceding
e struatio ← due to diste tio of the du ts,
hyperemia, and edema of the breast interstitial tissue All the changes regress along with symptoms, during menstruation
(85)
Normal Menstruation
Menstrual blood is predominantly arterial, only 25% of the blood being of venous origin
Containing tissue debris, prostaglandins, and relatively large amount of fibrinolysin from endometrial tissue
Fi ri olysi lyses lots → o lots i e strual lood
Usual duration is 3-5 d, but 1-8 d can occur normally The average amount of blood lost is 30 ml (range
normally from light spotting – 80 ml)
The amount of blood affected by various factors,
including the thickness of endometrium, medication, and diseases that affect clotting mechanism
(86)
Anovulatory Cycles
Anovulatory cycles are common for the first 12-18 months after menarche and before the onset of menopause
Whe ovulatio does ot o ur → o CL → effe ts of
progesterone on endometrium are absent
Estrogens continue to cause growth, and proliferative endometrium becomes thick enough to break down and begins to slough
The time it takes for bleeding usually < 28 d from the last menstrual period

Testes
Perform dual function of producing sperm and secreting testosterone
± 80% of testicular mass consists of highly coiled
se i iferous tu ules → sper atoge esis
Leydig cells/ interstitial cells
- in connective tissue between seminiferous tubules - are endocrine cells that produce testosterone
- Less easily destroyed (by x-ray, excessive heat)
Thus, portion of testes that produce sperm and
portion that secrete testosterone are distinct structurally and functionally
(90)
(91)
Androgen
Steroid hormones
Derived from cholesterol precursor molecule Masculinizing effects
Produced by: - Testes
- Adrenal glands
- Ovary
Consists of: - Testosterone
- Dihydrotestosterone
(92)
Testosterone
Once produced:
- Some of testosterone is secreted into
circulation, where it is transported to its target sites of action
- A substantial portion goes into the lumen of seminiferous tubules, where it plays an
(93)
(94)
…..Testostero e
In circulation, testosterone primarily bound to plasma protein:
- Loosely bound with plasma albumin
- More tightly bound with a beta globulin: sex hormone-binding globulin
Become fixed to the tissues (converted into
dihydrotestosterone) especially target organs: - prostate gland
(95)
…..Testostero e
The testosterone that dose not become fixed to the tissues is rapidly converted (mainly by the
liver) into:
- androsterone
- dehydroepiandrosterone
conjugated as glucoronide or sulfate
excreted into - gut in the liver bile - urine through the kidney
(96)
Functions of Testosterone
Responsible for the distinguishing characteristics
of the masculine body
Most of testostero e’s a tio s ulti ately fu tio
to ensure delivery of sperm to the female The effects can be group into 5 categories:
1. Effects on reproductive system before birth/ during fetal life
2. Effects on sex-specific tissues after birth
3. Other reproduction-related effects
4. Effects on secondary sexual characteristics 5. Non reproductive actions
(97)
Effects of Testosterone
1. Before birth/ During fetal life
- Secreted by genital ridges/ fetal testes
- Stimulated by placental chorionic gonadotropin/
human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)
- Responsible for:
> Development of male characteristics:
Masculinizes reproductive tract and external
genitalia
(98)
….Effe ts of Testostero e
2. After birth
- Until puberty:
> Testosterone secretion ceases
> Reproductive system remain small and nonfunctional
- At Puberty:
> Leydig cells start secreting testosterone once again, stimulated by pituitary gonadotropin
hormone through the brain-testicular axis
> Testosterone is responsible for growth and
maturation of entire male reproductive system

2. After birth
...
- At Puberty:
> Promotes growth and maturation of
reproductive system: testes , penis, scrotum enlarge 8 X before the age of 20 years
> Essential for producing sperm (spermatogenesis) > Maintains reproductive tract throughout
adulthood
Once initiated at puberty, testosterone secretion and spermatogenesis occur continuously

Radioimmuno-Assay
For hormones assessment
Principle of radioimmuno-assay:
Antibody (globulin) which is specific for the hormone
that will be assessed must be produced from the
animal in a great amount (commercially available)
The antibody then mixed with:
- animal serum which contain hormone to be
assessed (h)
- pure standard hormone which has been labeled
by radioisotop (hsr) (with
known amount
)
