Menstrual Cycle
2 phases ~ 28 days
Mentrual Cycle process

SRY Gene in mammals
On Y chrom, encodes for teste production, evolved after marsupial/eutharians split from monotremes
Start of gonad development?
Begins with germ cell migration
Germ cell migration
Start @ tail end, Cells move through the gut, germ cells @ genital ridge form either m/f

WNTH/DAX1 stay active
Intersex (DSD)
prescence of male and female traits in the same individuals, 0.5-1.7% humans
Turner Syndrome (XO) (DSD)
Only one x chrom., can initiate but not maintain ovarian development
Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY) (DSD)
Reduced testosterone production and low sperm production
46 (XX) Testicular DSD
Masculinization glands due to loss of function genes in Wnt pathway or misexpression of SRY/SOX
46 (XY) Ovarian DSD
Feminization of gonads due to loss of function gene in SRY/SOX9
Androgen Insensivity Disorder
Individuals who are 46 XY testes but cannot respond to testosterone and develop female external physical characteristics
What is used for support in mammal erections?
Either tissue, or a baculum (penis bone)

Prostate Gland
Citric Acid for nutrients
Bulbourethral Gland

Ovaries Function
Egg production
Oviduct Function
Transport/Fertilizaiton
Uterus Function
Development of embryo
Cervix Function
Beginning passage of birth
Vagina Function
End passage of birth and beginning for sperm deposition
Spermatogenisis
Primary Speratocyte undergoes meiosis 1 to create secondary spermatocyte -> Secondary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis 2 to create spermatids -> spermatids mature into sperm
Draw a mature sperm and label the...
Acrosome, Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Centriole, Plasma membrane, Mitochondria, Flagella
Nucleus (sperm)
Haploid contains DNA
Centriole (sperm)
Base for flagellum, passed onto zygote
Plasma Membrane (sperm)
Fuses with the egg
Vacuole (sperm)
Unknown
Mitochondria (sperm)
Provides energy for motility
Flagellum (sperm)
Provides motility
Oogenisis
Prim oocyte -> (polar body) and secondary oocyte -> (polar body) and ootid matures into ovum
Polar body
Very very small haploid in oogenisis
Ovum Structural Components (Echinoderm)
Jelly layer, Vittelin envelope, Plasma membrane, Cytoplasm, yolk granules, Corticle granules, Nucleus
Jelly Layer (echinoderms)
Barrier against foriegn sperm
Vittelin Envelope (echinoderms)
Has receptor protiens (contributes to fertilization)
Plasma membrane (echinoderms)
Fuses with sperm
Cytoplasm (echinoderms/mammalia)

Draw the Ovum structure of mammalia and Echinoderms
Do it bitch
Fusing of nuclei
Acrosomal rxn occurs on sperm -> enzymes expelled from acrosome -> Actin polymerized into microfillaments -> Protiens in sperm and egg bind together -> Plasma membrane fuses -> Nuclei fuse
Draw the Fusing of Nuclei process
...
Gonadtrophin
Stimulates LH/FSH in men to create testosterone and in estradiol in women to menstruate and ovulate
Early Clevage Patterns
Rapid cell division w/out cell growth->Resulting cells are blastomeres->Clevage creates pattern (radial or spiral)-> end result is blastula (hollow ball)
Spiral Clevage
Offset, can see all 8 blastomeres, Protostomes

What happens during Gastrulation
Major body axis are established
Neurolation
Notochord forms from mesoderm->Nueral tube (dorsal hollow nerve chord) forms from ectoderm->Notochord signals to nueral tube to fold->Nueral tube becomes cranium->notochord goes away
