Introduction
All body systems, except the reproductive system, function to maintain internal homeostasis and sustain the individual organism. The reproductive system is specialized to perpetuate the species and to pass genetic material from generation to generation. This requires the production of haploid gametes through meiotic cell divisions and the fusion of the gametes to produce a diploid egg cell called a zygote. Through numerous mitotic cell divisions and differentiation of the daughter cells into different tissues and organs, the zygote develops into a human embryo and fetus. See Chapter 27 The Male Reproductive System and 28 The Female Reproductive System, pp. 1036 1098 (Saladin 4th edition). Bring your textbook to lab!

Part I. Anatomy of Male and Female Reproductive Structures

Learn these structures of the male reproductive system: Figs. 27.7, 27.9, and 27.11 scrotum testis epididymis ductus (vas) deferens ampulla ejaculatory duct seminal vesicles prostate gland bulbourethral gland urethra penis glans of penis prepuce

Learn these structures of the female reproductive system: Figs. 28.1, 28.3, and 28.8 mons pubis labium majus labium minus clitoris urethral orifice vaginal orifice urethra bladder pubic symphysis cervix vagina uterus body fundus endometrium myometrium uterine tube fimbrae infundibulum ampulla ovary

Part II. Histology of Male and Female Primary Sex Organs

a. Mammal Graafian Follicles sec. Using 100X magnification, view a prepared slide of mature (graafian) follicles. Draw what you see and label five structures below (see Fig. 28.13b). (5 pts)

b. Mammal Testis and Epididymis l.s. Using 100X magnification, view a prepared slide of testis and epididymis. Draw what you see and label five structures below (see Fig. 27.10). (5 pts)

Part III. Questions

1. What structures are altered in a vasectomy and in a tubal ligation? (2 pts)

2. Name three pairs of male and female reproductive structures that are homologous in terms of function. (3 pts)

3. List and briefly describe the tissue layers of the uterine wall and identify the significance (if any) of these layers during the menstrual cycle. (5 pts)

4. Sketch a graph of the hormonal changes that occur during the ovarian cycle and menstrual cycle. Be sure to include each of the hormones involved and graph their relative levels. (8 pts)
