ANAT 025 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Loose Connective Tissue, Abdominal Cavity, Vas Deferens
Document Summary
The reproductive systems, are essential for evolution and the continuation of the human species. The gross anatomy and histological properties of both systems are highlighted throughout the module, and the emphasis is on the unique features of each system. Different in many aspect, including hormonal influences, general structure, and the structure of the gametes. Similarities are present because both the male and female systems develop from the same embryological origin, and differences in embryology for male and female reproductive anatomy are not seen until later weeks of development. Involves a variety of structures working in synchrony to create and transport the male gamete sperm. Sperm are produced in the testes and transported through a duct system to reach the external world. Cells that carry paternal genetic information for reproduction. Regions: head, flat and oval, the nucleus contributes either an x or y chromosome to the fertilization.
