process carried out by having sexual intercourse with a male. A female ovulate an egg cell‚ oocytes goes down a uterine tube. During sexual intercourse male sperm moves into the vagina‚ which is near the female’s cervix‚ this occurs in the reproductive system. The sperm cell swims up the uterus and meets up with the oocyte and the process of fertilization occurs. During sexual intercourse many sperms swim towards the oocyte but only one sperm cell has the ability to fertilize the egg.

learned how the sperm and the egg worked‚ so you can explain to your own children. First‚ I will try to explain the journey of the sperm and its final destination the egg. The man has an organ called the testes. In these testes has a unique reproductive system. In the testes‚ they secrete hormones and produce cells. In the case of the testes‚ the germ cells are sperm and the sex hormones are androgens. (Human sexuality‚ 2005) The spermatogenesis is the formation and development of the spermatozoon

Individual: The sperm and the egg Nicole Fields PSY 265 January 20‚ 2013 Mrs. Tana Leigh Warren Individual: The sperm and the egg Behind every function or process there is a story. The story behind the sperm and the egg can seem very complex to some while others understand its entire root of transition from one to the other. To understand the story behind the sperm and the egg‚ you first need to understand the male and female anatomy. Once you understand that much‚ it will be a little easier

Biology: Research Task and Oral PresentationResearch Task:1.Describe some mechanisms found in Australian fauna to ensure:•Fertilisation•Survival of the embryo and of the young after birthFertilisation is the fusion of haploid sex cells in the action of sexual reproduction. It is often a difficult process as:• careful timing is required: both female and male gametes need to be produced and released at the same time• arrangements need to be made to bring the gametes together• A watery medium is always

Half yearly studies Chapter 2: Reproduction What is Sexual Reproduction? Sexual reproduction occurs when offspring result from the fusion of a male reproductive cell and a female reproductive cell. These special reproductive cells are called gametes and they are produced in the reproductive organs of the organism. External Fertilisation * Gametes are tiny and are dehydrated extremely easily‚ so they only survive in specific conditions. * Some animals‚ specifically those that live in

internally they are quite different. Just as the male does not have an external penis‚ and the scrotum is not well developed until sexual maturity‚ the entrance to the female’s vagina is hidden beneath the tail. In the female reproductive system the primary reproductive organs of the female is the ovaries. They are small kidney- shaped organs that usually cover the fallopian tubes. Next to the ovary lies the funiculum (funnel shaped) that captures the egg and releases them into the body cavity

dispersed populations. Stamens are the male reproductive structure‚ they produce microspores in the anthers of a flower to produce pollen grains. Pollen is able to be transferred by wind due to its waterproof coating. The carpel of an angiosperm is the female reproductive structure‚ which produces female gametophytes with eggs. The carpel helps to create and ovule. The ovule protects the eggs and zygote‚ it is an a adaptation which increases reproductive fitness. Unlike angiosperms‚ mosses (bryophytes)

surprised to learn that sperm only travel one tenth of a inch per minute. Even more interesting was how it is now believed that sperm locate the egg by smell. Its actually kinda funny to think of a sperm cell with a nose. The anatomy of the female reproductive system is complex‚ so they need all the help they can get. I was very shocked at the survival rate of the egg to full term infant. 50% seems like a very low number when compared to the amount of live births. The documentary became interesting for
