- Describe the common function of the male and female reproductive systems.
Identify the gametes that are formed by each gender.
- Describe the location, structure, and function of the organs of the male
reproductive system.
- Outline the events of spermatogenesis. Include all cells (spermatogenic,
interstitial, sustentacular) and processes (meiosis, mitosis, differentiation)
involved.
- Discuss hormonal regulation of testicular function and the physiological
effects of testosterone. Demonstrate by listing the production cells, target
cells and actions of each type of target cell.
- Describe the location, structure, and function of each of the organs of
the female reproductive system.
- Describe the cells and processes of oogenesis and compare it to spermatogenesis.
- Produce a graph, depicting the phases of the female reproductive cycle.
Include gonadotropin hormone levels, ovarian hormone levels, ovarian follicular/oocyte
formation and state of endometrium.
- Describe the regulation of the ovarian and menstrual cycles.
- Discuss the physiological effects of estrogens and progesterone. Demonstrate
by listing the production cells, target cells and actions of each type of
target cell, for each hormone.
