Write the functions of each of the parts of the male/female reproductive system (in pictures)
Human ReproductionEverything comes down to a male gamete (sperm) fertilizing a female gamete (egg or ovum)• Ensures ½ genetic makeup of the resulting zygote comes from each parent• Ensures genetic variation in the human species
Human ReproductionRegulation of sexual physiology• Ex: testosterone in males• Determines the development of male genitalia during embryonic
development• Ensures development of secondary sex characteristics during puberty
(facial hair etc.)• Maintains the sex drive of males throughout their lifetime
The Male and Female Reproductive Systems• The structures of the male and female reproductive systems are adapted
for the production and release of the gametes
The Male and Female Reproductive Systems
The female reproductive system: • Ensures a suitable location for fertilization• Provides an environment for the growth of the
embryo then fetus until birth

Essential Question: How do hormones play a key role in the menstrual cycle?
6.6 Reproduction- Menstruation
Key Vocabulary:Menstruation

How do hormones play a key role in the menstrual cycle?
Assessment Statements
• 6.6.2 Outline the role of hormones in the menstrual cycle, including FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), oestrogen and progesterone
Menstrual Cycle• The menstrual cycle prepares the ovaries for ovulation and the uterus for
implantation• Starts at puberty• On average, 28 day cycle
• Purpose: to time the release of an egg or ovum (ovulation) for possible fertilization and later implantation into the inner lining of the uterus• This implantation MUST occur when the uterine inner lining (the
endometrium) is rich with blood vessels• It will shed if no implantation occurs• This breakdown leads to menstrual bleeding• This is a sign no pregnancy occurred
Menstrual Cycle• The hypothalamus is the regulatory center of
the menstrual cycle• Produces a hormone known as
gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)• The target tissue is the pituitary gland
• Results in the production and secretion of two hormones into the bloodstream• Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)• Luteinizing hormone (LH)• The target tissues for these hormones
are the ovaries
gland
Ovaries
Endometrium of uterus
Progesterone (after ovulation)Oestrogen
Menstrual Cycle• FSH and LH have several effects on the
ovaries• Increase the production/secretion of
another reproductive hormone by the follicle cells of the ovary= estrogen• Estrogen enters the blood steam• Target tissue is the endometrium of
the uterus• Results in an increase the blood
vessels of the endometrium
gland
Ovaries
Endometrium of uterus
Progesterone (after ovulation)Estrogen
Menstrual Cycle• Another effect of FSH and LH is the production of structures within the
ovaries known as Graafian follicles
oocyte
Menstrual Cycle1. Oocytes (immature eggs) are
formed • Made up of follicle cells and true
reproductive cells in the ovaries
1.
Menstrual Cycle2. Graffian Follicles formed• Under chemical stimulation, the
follicle cells and oocytes become Graffian follicles
1.
2.
Menstrual Cycle3. Ovulation Occurs• A spike in the level of FSH and LH leads
to ovulation• Release of oocyte from the Graafian
follicle• Oocyte is accompanied by the inner
ring of follicle cells • Typically enters the Fallopian tube
soon after ovulation
3.
Menstrual Cycle4. Corpus Luteum forms• The outer ring of follicle cells remains
within the ovary and the cells of this ring divide to become the corpus luteum
• This will produce progesterone for 10-12 days after ovulation• Maintains the thickened, highly
vascular endometrium, so embryo can implant
• GnRH is not produced when estrogen and progesterone levels are high, so FSH and LH remain at low levels at this time
4.
Menstrual Cycle *Assuming there is no pregnancy
5. Corpus luteum breaks down • Leads to a decline in progesterone and
estrogen levels• Endometrium can no longer be
sustained• Capillaries and blood vessels begin
to break• Menstruation begins
5.
Menstrual Cycle• Low levels of progesterone and estrogen
signal the hypothalamus to begin secreting GnRH and thus another menstrual cycle begins!
• There is no beginning or end of the menstrual cycle• We designate the first day of the menstrual
cycle as the first day of menstruation
Assessment Statements
• 6.6.3 Annotate a graph showing hormone levels in the menstrual cycle, illustrating the relationship between changes in hormone levels and ovulation, menstruation, and thickening of the endometrium
Homework/Classwork
• Annotate the graph showing hormone levels in the menstrual cycle, illustrating the relationship between changes in hormone levels and ovulation, menstruation, and thickening of the endometrium
• Look at it like a data analysis question. Look for patterns and comparisons you can make throughout the cycle• Ex: When progesterone peaks, what happens to the uterine
lining?

Topic: 6.6 Reproduction- IVF and Ethics
Essential Question: What are some of the possible complications involved with IVF?
6.6 Reproduction- IVF and Ethics
Key Vocabulary:In Vitro Fertilization
BIOZONE: 353-354
What are some of the possible complications involved with IVF?
In Vitro Fertilization
• Please read the In Vitro Fertilization article to gather background on how the procedure is done• Highlight important information
Focus on:• Procedure• Medicines involved• Side effects• Risks involved• % rates of success
In Vitro Fertilization
• Why would a couple or a person decide to under go IVF?• Think of reasons:• Not just because they want a child!
In-vitro Fertilization (IVF)• Natural fertilization typically occurs in one of a female’s Fallopian tubes
24-48 hours after ovulation• The resulting zygote begins to divide by mitosis and takes several more days
to travel down the Fallopian tube to the endometrium• When the embryo reaches the endometrium, it has already mitotically
divided many times• The embryo then implants in the endometrium
In-vitro Fertilization (IVF)• Some couples are unable to bear children for a wide
variety of possible reasons including:• Males with low sperm counts• Males with impotence (failure to achieve or
maintain an erection)• Females who cannot ovulate normally• Females with blocked Fallopian tubes
• Reproductive technologies have been developed to help overcome these situations • One of the most common In Vitro Fertilization
Steps of an IVF Procedure Preparation:• A woman is usually injected with FSH
for about 10 days• This ensures the development of many
Graafian follicles within her ovaries
• Several eggs (oocytes) are then harvested surgically
Steps of an IVF Procedure Preparation:• The harvested eggs are mixed with sperm
cells in separate culture dishes
• Microscopic observation reveals which ova are fertilized and if the early development appears normal and healthy
Steps of an IVF Procedure • Usually two or three healthy embryos are introduced into the woman’s
uterus for implantation• The procedure is VERY expensive and using only one embryo could mean
a high risk of failure and having to repeat the procedure• More than one embryo increases the likelihood that at least one will implant
successfully
• Any healthy embryos from culturing that are not implanted can be frozen and used later if another implantation procedure is needed
IVF Costs• The average cost of an IVF cycle in the U.S. is $12,400, according to
the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. This price will vary depending on where you live, the amount of medications you're required to take, the number of IVF cycles you undergo, and the amount your insurance company will pay toward the procedure• Medicines may cost and additional $5-6,000• Many times a single round may be closer to $18,000
Arguments For and Against IVF p.96
As a table, please discuss the arguments for and against IVF• Create a table on the TOP ½ p. 96 and record your thoughts • We will share out as a class at the end of the period
Arguments for IVF Arguments Against IVF
Arguments For and Against IVFOn the bottom half of p. 96:• Please read the articles passed out to your tables• These are from a variety of sources and years• Gain knowledge on the different view points of IVF and different ethical
considerations that people have in regards to IVF• Add to your table of arguments
Imagine a panel put together to debate the pros and cons of IVF. Give three pro or con arguments that would likely be given by each of the following panel members:
• Health insurance executive-• Man or woman who needs IVF to have a child-• Religious representative-• Administrator from an IVF clinic-
*DEBATE ACTIVITY TO FOLLOW ON
MONDAY
Arguments for IVF• Enables couples who would otherwise be unable to have children to have a
family• Embryos that are visibly not healthy in the early stages of development can
be eliminated from consideration for implantation• Genetic screening is possible on embryos before implantation to eliminate
the chance of passing on some genetic diseases• IVF technology will advance and lead to further benefits in reproductive
biology
Arguments Against IVF• Embryos that are produced during culturing, but are
not implanted are either frozen or destroyed• There are complex legal issues concerning the use of those
frozen embryos when couples split up
• Genetic screening of embryos could lead to society choosing desirable characteristics• “Designer babies”
• Some reproductive problems of an individual are genetically passed on and IVF bypasses nature’s way of decreasing the genetic frequency of that reproductive problem• Miscarriage etc..
• Multiple births and the problems associated with multiple births are more likely with IVF than with natural conception• Low birth weight, early delivery, etc…
DEBATE: Arguments For and Against IVFIt doesn’t matter what “side” you are on, you need to be able to argue the
pros and cons of IVF• Each person at your table will take on the role of one of the panel
members. Engage in a discussion arguing for or against IVF. • Try and keep the conversation going. • Debate should take approx. 15 mins.
• At the end, one group will share their debate in front of the classImagine a panel put together to debate the pros and cons of IVF. Give three pro or con arguments that would likely be given by each of the following panel members:• Health insurance executive-• Man or woman who needs IVF to have a child-• Religious representative-• Administrator from an IVF clinic-
