Sex Determination: Overview Dimorphism: Males sperm Females eggs Chromosomes Autosomes Sex Chromosomes X - chromosome Y - chromosome Figure 26-1: Human chromosomes
Sex Determination: Overview Figure 26-2: Inheritance of X and Y chromosomes
Sexual Differentiation: Internal Embryonic Development Bipotential tissues: genes & hormones direct differentiation Gonad testis or ovary Wolffian duct Vas deferens, Mullerian duct oviduct
Sexual Differentiation: Internal Embryonic Development Figure 26-3a: Sexual development in the human embryo
Sexual Differentiation: External Genitalia Bipotential tissues: genital tubercle, urethral folds, urethral groove and labioscrotal swellings
Sexual Differentiation: External Genitalia Figure 26-3b: Sexual development in the human embryo
Determination of sex Determined genetically by two sex chromosomes: XY or XX. Y is dominant and contains the testis-determining gene product. Only one X is active. The other X condenses to form the Barr body: Occasionally, more than one copy of X or Y occurs: XXX, XXY, XO or XX/XY mosaic being the four most common abnormalities.
Regulation of Reproduction: General Pathways Hypothalamus: pulse generator Gonadotropin releasing H (GnRH) Anterior Pituitary Lutenizing H (LH) Follicle stimulating H (FSH) Ovary: progesterone Estrogen, inhibin Testis: testosterone

Male Reproductive Anatomy and Physiology Testis Epididymis Vas deferens Seminal vesicle Prostate Bulbourethral Ejaculatory duct Urethra Penis
Components Testis => spermatozoa; testosterone production Epididymis => spermatozoa maturation & storage Ductus deferens & ampulla => transport & semen Accessory glands => semen a) Prostate gland b) Vesicular glands (seminal vesicles) c) Bulbourethral (Cowper s) gland d) Distal portion of ductus deferens (+/- ampulla) Urethra => transport Penis=> transport and ejaculation

Blood-Testis Barrier Adjacent sustentacular cells are joined by tight junctions Forms a diffusion barrier = controlled microenvironment for spermatogenesis Separates basal region from tubular compartment Spermatogonial cell division (mitosis) occurs in basal compartment Meiosis and spermiogenesis occurs in tubular compartment Blood-testis barrier prevents many substances from entering the tubular compartment Spermatocytes pass through the intercellular junctions to enter the tubular compartment

Follicular Growth Regulation GnRH rises in response to a decline in inhibin and sex steroids GnRH stimulates rise in pituitary FSH & LH secretion. FSH stimulates new follicle growth LH induces thecal cell growth, vascularization & androgen synthesis FSH stimulates granulosa cell production of E2 & LH receptor
Follicular Growth Regulation 2 LH act on thecal & granulosa cells and FSH acts on granulosa cells Late follicular phase has elevated follicular fluid E2, P, FSH and LH but low androgens
Endocrine Control of Menstrual Cycle: Follicular Phase FSH stimulates follicular development Estrogen: + feedback, limits more follicles
Endocrine Control of Menstrual Cycle: Ovulation Estrogen LH "surge" & FSH spike egg release Inhibin pushes FSH down, new follicle development
Ovulation The stigmata, a coneshaped protrusion of the follicle wall, appears just before ovulation Preovulatory follicular fluid has elevated E2, P, FSH, LH, oxytocin, plasmin activity & collaginase activity Extensive follicular vascularization occurs immediately prior to ovulation
Endocrine Control of Menstrual Cycle: Follicular Phase and Ovulation Figure 26-14a,b: Hormonal control of the menstrual cycle
Endocrine Control of Menstrual Cycle: Luteal phase Granulosa cells form corpus luteum progesterone progesterone & estrogen maintain endometrium Inhibin continues to limit new follicular development
Corpus Luteum Development 1 LH stimulates thecal & granulosa cell invasion of follicular cavity LH induces the luteinization of both cell types P synthesis increases as number of luteal cell increase
Corpus Luteum Development 2 LH stimulates increased P & E secretion FSH has no direct role in corpus luteum (CL) maintenance CL function depends on adequacy of follicle development (adequate induction by FSH of E2, LH and LDL receptor levels) Failure of adequate CL function results in luteal insufficiency
Corpus Luteum Development 3 Estrogen induces luteolysis Luteolysis causes decreased E2 & P secretion leading to decreased plasma levels Luteolysis continues in the absence of a fertilized ovum
Endocrine Control of Menstrual Cycle: Late Luteal phase Pregnancy: maintain progesterone, estrogen & inhibin No pregnancy: progesterone, estrogen & inhibin Menses, FSH & LH new follicle development
