Review
Mitosis is the type of cell division that occurs in non-reproductive cells. Produces exact copies of the parent cell
Meiosis is cell division that occurs in reproductive cells; gametes. Produces egg and sperm cells with half the
genetic material of the parent cells. 23 chromosomes are contained in gametes; this
is so that when egg and sperm meet, they produce offspring with 46 chromosomes.

External Organs of the Male Reproductive System
Penis: the external reproductive organ, urethra passes through the penis and allows urine and semen to exit the body.
Scrotum: a sac or pouch which holds the testes. The function of the scrotum is to maintain the
proper temperature of the testes. Sperm is destroyed unless a temperature of 97o is
maintained.

Internal Organs of the Male Reproductive System
Bladder*: holds urine prior to urination. Urine leaves the bladder via the urethra.
Urethra: a tube which allows urine and semen to exit the body. Connects to the bladder
Vas deferens: a tube which connects the testes to the urethra and allows semen to exit the body.
Testes: two glands which produce sperm and hormones (testosterone)

Organs of the Male Reproductive System
Let’s fill in our diagrams of the male reproductive system.

Organs of the Female Reproductive System
Vagina Cervix Uterus Fallopian Tubes Ovary
![Page 8: The Human Body: The Reproductive System 8 th Grade Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0d5503460f94af66c9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Organs of the Female Reproductive System
Vagina: also called the birth canal, a tube leading from the uterus to the outside of the body.
Cervix: the lower portion of the uterus; where the vagina and uterus meet.
Uterus: a hollow, fist-sized organ located between the bladder and rectum.
Fallopian Tubes: also called oviducts; are two tubes connecting the uterus with the ovaries.

Organs of the Female Reproductive System
Ovaries: small organs on the ends of the Fallopian tubes responsible for the production and release of eggs (ova-pl). Females are born with all of the eggs they will
ever produce. Ovaries alternate the release of eggs each month. Like testes, the ovaries produce hormones-
estrogen. This release of the ova is called ovulation.

Organs of the Female Reproductive System
Lets label the parts of the female reproductive system now.

The Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle typically lasts 28 days; approximately 1 month. One cycle is the amount of time from the
beginning of one period to the beginning of the next period.
The beginning of a period is marked by the release of the blood and lining from the inside of the uterus. This flow of blood typically lasts 3-7 days and is
called menstruation.

The Menstrual Cycle
After menstruation, the ovaries release hormones that tell the uterus to grow a new lining and prepare to receive a new egg.
As the uterus prepares a new lining, one of the ovaries releases an egg. This is called ovulation. Ovulation occurs about halfway through a
woman’s cycle. The egg travels through the Fallopian tube. If it is
not fertilized it breaks down and is released with the lining and blood of the uterus.

Creating Life
If the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell (via sexual intercourse), the egg will implant in the lining of the uterus and begin to develop. Zygote: The first cells of a new organism; the time
from fertilization to implantation. Embryo: The zygote is called an embryo from
implantation to 8 weeks. Fetus: After 8 weeks of development, the embryo
is known as a fetus.

In the Uterus
The fertilized egg burrows into the lining The fetus is less than ½” long after 7 weeks
Heart is beating, arm and leg buds are visible, The fetus is about 4” after 14 weeks The fetus floats inside a bag called the amniotic sac A tube, called the umbilical cord, links the fetus to its
mother via the placenta In the placenta, the mother and child’s blood come into
close contact but don’t actually mix

Twins
Multiple eggs are released or there is more than one ovulation. Both (or more) eggs are fertilized and you have fraternal twins.
One egg is released but splits in two. Identical twins are made. If the egg does not completely split in two, conjoined twins are produced.
