Reproduction which an organism produces its offspring (young) of its own   kindis called reproduction.

  • Nothing live for ever but life continues due to reproduction.
  • Every organism remains alive on the earth for the limited period of time and then they die hence new organisms has to be produce in place of those who die.
  • It helps in perpetuation of generation and increasing population.

Modes of Reproduction in Animal

                           Sexual Reproduction                        Sexual reproduction     

Asexual Reproduction:-Thereproduction in which single parent is involved                   and gamete formation does not take place is called asexual reproduction.

 E.g. microorganisms.
     Asexual reproduction is found in the single-celled organism such as the archaebacteria, eubacteria etc. Many plants and fungi reproduce asexually as well.
 Sexual Reproduction:-Thereproduction in which two parents are involved and gamete formation takes place is called sexual reproduction. E.g. Human,tigerNOTE:-In animals, males and females have different reproductive parts or organs. The reproductive parts in animals produce gametes that fuse to form a zygote. It is the zygote which develops into a new individual. This type of reproduction beginning from the fusion of male and female gametes is called sexual reproduction.Reproductive Organs in Humans:1.Male Reproductive System:  consist of following structure: Scrotum, Testes. Vas deferens, Ejaculatory duct, urethra, penis, Accessory gland, Epididymis.https://i2.wp.com/www.dronstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_5965ccf153810.png?w=1170&ssl=1 Scrotum: One pair skin pouch hanging from lower outer abdominal wall and each scrotum contains one testis.

Functions of scrotum

  • Scrotum protect the testis from mechanicalinjury.
  • It cools the testis by 2oC. That is favourable for sperms development.

Testis:-The primary sexual organ of males is called testis because it is site for sperm formation and secretion of male Hormone called testosterone.

  • It formed within abdomen but before birth it descent down within scrotum.
  • Failure of testis to descent down within scrotum called Cryptorchidism(result in sterility)
  • Number: One pair
  • Color: Pinkish
  • Shape: Oval
  • Size: length 4cm, Breath 2.5cm, thickness 3cm

Position: In the scrotum, outside the coelomic cavity.

  • Testis produces a million of male gametes or sperms.

Structure of sperm:A sperm is a single celled male gamete with three parts:-

  1. Head:-Contains nucleus.
  2. Middle piece: Contains numerous mitochondria.
  3. Long tail: helps in movement.

      NOTE: The sperms are mobile because of long tail.

Epididymis:-The long coiled tubular structure that presents around testis is called                                  epididymis.

  • It’s length is about 6cm.
  • It is site of storage, nourishment and maturation of sperm.

Inguinal canal: It is the passage through which testis descents from abdominal cavity into scrotum.

Gubernaculum: Are connective fibres which connects the testis with wall of scrotal sac.

Spermatic cord: Is the cord of connective fibres and blood vessel through which testis is hanging within scrotum from its original position within abdomen.

Vas deferens (Sperm Duct): One pair, thin ducts that originates from epididymis, and inters within abdomen connects with duct of seminal vesicle and opens into upper part of urethra as ejaculatory duct.

Ejaculatory duct: Are one pair, each are short highly muscular & thick walled tubular structure. 

Urethra(20cm): Single, long tubular passage open at the tip of penis as urinogenital aperture.  

  • Functions as a common pathway for both (semen) seminal fluid and urine in males.
  • It is longer in males and shorter in females.

Penis: Single, long and cylindrical muscular organ lying between left and right scratum hanging from outside of body.

  • Functions: help in expulsion of urine as well as discharge of semen into female vagina, so it also called male copulatory organ.

NOTE: Testis are responsible for producing the male gamete known as the sperm by a process called as spermatogenesis. This occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. The testes are also responsible for secreting the male reproductive hormone testosterone.

The hormone testosterone not only helps in the formation of the sperm but also in the development of secondary sexual characters in males such as deepening of the voice, facial and pubic hair during puberty.

Accessory reproductive gland

  1. Seminal vesicle: one pairs, which secretes viscousfluid which from major part of semen
  2. Prostate gland: Single, Pea shaped gland, lies around the base of urethra below neck of bladder.
  3. Cowper’s gland: One pair, small presence in urethra and secretes mucous which makes semen slippery.

       Semen= Sperm +Spermatic fluid.

= 2 to 3ml semen discharge at one time, containing 400 million of spermhttps://i2.wp.com/www.dronstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_5965cdaf59dd4.png?w=1170&ssl=1

 

Female Reproductive System:-

Consist of:-Ovaries, oviduct(fallopian tube), Uterus, Vagina, Vulva(external genetalia).         Ovaries:

  • Primary female sex organ.
  • One pair and almond shaped.
  • Attached with dorsal wall of pelvic cavity by mesovarium.
  • Each ovary is connected by the body of uterus by ovarian ligament. FUNCTION:
  • Production of female gametes (egg or ovum)
  • Secretion of female sex hormone (estragon and progesterone)Ovulation is the process of release of an egg from either one of the ovaries.
  • Fallopian tubes (Oviducts):-A fallopian tube is about 10 -12 cm long muscular tube which carries egg from the ovary to the uterus.It consist of infundibulum, ampulla and uterine part.

Infundibulum:-Lower most part of fallopian tube.

It is funnel shaped.

Ampulla: Site for fertilization of ovum

Longest and largest part of fallopian tube.

Uterine part:Opens into the cavity of uterus.

  • Uterus (womb):Thick wall highly muscular, pear shaped structure with body wall by mesometrium and lies behind the bladder.

FUNCTION:

                    Site for implantation.

                    Site for embryo development. If fertilization takes place. 

  • Cervix: Is a circular muscle ring that is present towards the lower end of the uterus that dilates at the time of delivery of the baby.
  • Vagina: Is a muscular passage that is present at the lower end of the cervix.
  • Opening having a membrane called HYMEN which bracks during first sex or activity like swimming, running, cycling.

FUNCTION:

             Expelled out menstrual flow.

             Acts as birth canal.

             Site for copulation.

  • Urethra: It is shorter than that found in males. In females, the urethra serves only for passage of urine.
  • External Genitalia(vulva):All those structure which present around the vagina and externally visible are called vulva.

NOTE:The egg is formed under the influence of both female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. This process is known as Oogenesis.

Fertilization:
The process of fusion of a male gamete (Sperm) with a female gamete (Ovum) is called fertilization.

https://i1.wp.com/www.dronstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_5965ce071487d.png?w=1170&ssl=1

  • During fertilization, fusion of nuclei of sperm and egg takes place.
  • Zygote is formed after fertilization.

 

Types of Fertilization:

                           External fertilization                         Internal fertilization

1. Internal Fertilisation:-The fertilization that takes place inside the animal’s body is                             called internal fertilization.

  • Internal fertilization is occurs in most of the terrestrial animals including humans, cows, dogs and hens.
  • Unlike external fertilization, there is no need to produce a large number of eggs in internal fertilization.

2. External Fertilisation: The fusion of a male and a female gamete takes place outside the body of the animal’s body is called external fertilization.

  • It is very common in aquatic animals such as fish, frogs, starfish, etc.
    Example: During spring or rainy season, frogs and toads move to ponds and river. When the male and female come together in water, the female lays the eggs, the male deposits sperms over them. Each sperm swims randomly in water with the help of its long tail. The sperms then come in contact with the eggs.

Conception and Child Birth:Development of Embryo: Development of embryo takes place in the female reproductive system through following steps:
1. Every month, a single egg comes out of the ovary and reaches the fallopian tube of female reproductive system.
2. During copulation, sperms reach the Fallopian tube where a sperm fertilizes the egg. This results in formation of zygote.

https://i1.wp.com/www.dronstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_5965d9d59b9d2.png?w=1170&ssl=1

3. The zygote divides repeatedly to give rise to a ball of cells. The cells then begin to form groups that develop into different tissues and organs of the body. This developing structure is termed an embryo.

https://i1.wp.com/www.dronstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_5965d9abe4606.png?w=1170&ssl=1
4. The embryo gets implanted in the wall of the uterus for further gradually developed the body parts such as hands, legs, head, eyes, ears, etc.

  • Note:  Implantation of embryo in the wall of the uterus is called conception. Conception marks the beginning of pregnancy.


5. The stage of the embryo in which all the body parts can be identified is called a foetus. When the development of the foetus is complete, the mother gives birth to the baby.

https://i2.wp.com/www.dronstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_5965da3db921e.png?w=1170&ssl=1

Gestation:-The period from conception to child birth is called gestation period.

  • The gestation period in humans is of 40 weeks.

PLACENTA:-Only structure/organ in human which derived from two different individual.

  • Some part of placenta is formed by foetus called foetal placenta and some part by uterus of mother called maternal placenta.
  • Placenta established physical connection between mother and foetus by bringing the blood close to one another without mixing.
  • From mother blood, Oxygen, nutrients, hormones, vitamins, antibody enters within foetal blood and from foetal blood, carbon dioxide, metabolic waste enters into maternal blood.
  • Placenta helps in nutrition, respiration, and excretion.

 

IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation):
1. A biological process carried out in laboratory is called in-vitro. Thus, fertilization carried out in laboratory is called in-vitro fertilization.
2. Some women are unable to bear babies because of oviducts are blocked in result sperms cannot reach the egg for fertilization. Doctors collect freshly released egg and sperms and keep them together for a few hours for IVF or in vitro fertilization (fertilization outside the body).
3. If fertilization occurs, the zygote is allowed to develop for about a week and then it is transferred in the mother’s uterus. Whole development takes place in the uterus and the baby is born like any other baby. Babies born through this technique are called test-tube babies.Formation of Egg Shell in Hens:
Internal fertilization takes place in hens. After fertilization, the zygote divides continuously and moves to the oviduct. As it travels down, many protective layers are formed around it. The hard shell in a hen’s egg is one such protective layer. After the hard shell is formed, the hen finally lays the egg. The embryo takes about 3 weeks to develop into a chick. The hen sits on the eggs to provide sufficient warmth. After the chick is completely developed it bursts open the egg shell.

Based on their ability to lay eggs or to give birth to young ones, animals are divided into two types,

 Viviparous and Oviparous Animals:
1. The animals which give birth to young ones are called viviparous animals.  Examples- Human being, dog, cows.
2. Those animals which lay eggs are called oviparous animals. Examples – hen, frog etc.

https://i0.wp.com/www.dronstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_5965dc0e52e12.png?w=1170&ssl=1 Young Ones to Adults:
1. Direct Development: 
When the young ones of an animal resemble the adult, then direct development takes place, e.g. hen, man, monkey, etc.

https://i1.wp.com/www.dronstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_5965dc4f93cd2.png?w=1170&ssl=1

2. Indirect Development: When the young ones of an animal do not resemble the adult, then indirect development takes place, e.g. frog, butterfly, silk moth, etc.

3. Metamorphosis: In case of indirect development, transformation of young ones into adult through drastic changes is called metamorphosis. Ex: Larva of butterfly undergoes metamorphosis to become a butterfly. A tadpole undergoes metamorphosis to become a frog.

Asexual Reproduction Methods: The process of reproduction in which new individuals are produced from single parent. Example - Microorganisms.
1.
Budding: This method is seen in multicellular animals which are highly simple in structure. A small bud develops on the body. The bud develops and starts resembling its mother. After that, the bud gets detached from the mother’s body to begin life as a new individual.

budding

Asexual reproductionin whichindividuals develop from the bud is called budding Examples: Hydra and sponges.

2. Binary Fission:This method of reproduction is seen in unicellular animals, example- amoeba, leishmania etc.Asexual reproduction in which an animal reproduces by dividing into two individual is called binary fission.In this method, an organism divides into two daughter cells. When the Amoeba cell reached its maximum size of growth then first the nucleus of amoeba lengthens and divides into two parts. After that the cytoplasm of amoeba divides into two parts one part around each nucleus. And one amoeba divide to form two small amoebae(called daughter amoebae). https://i0.wp.com/www.dronstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_5965ddd64cdd9.png?w=1170&ssl=1 Daughter amoebae grow to their full size by eating food then divide again to produce four amoebae, and so on.Leishmania is a unicellular parasitic animal which causes the disease known as Kala-azar(black fever).

Cloning:
1. Cloning is process of production of an exact copy of a cell, any other living part, or a complete organism. Cloning process of an animal was successfully performed for the first time by Ian Wilmut and his colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland. They cloned successfully a sheep named Dolly.

https://i2.wp.com/www.dronstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_5965deb59d6ed.png?w=1170&ssl=1 2. During the process of cloning sheep named Dolly, a cell was collected from the mammary gland of a female Finn Dorsett sheep. Simultaneously, an egg was collected from a Scottish blackface ewe. The nucleus was removed from the egg. After that, the nucleus of the mammary gland cell from the Finn Dorsett sheep was inserted into the egg of the Scottish blackface ewe whose nucleus had been removed. Then this egg was implanted into the Scottish blackface ewe. Development of this egg followed normally and then finally Dolly was born. It was found to be absolutely identical to the Finn Dorsett sheep from which the nucleus was taken.
