BCS0029 - Anatomy and Physiology: The Reproductive SystemEach of us begins our individual life as a fertilized egg or zygote. Via the reproductive organs the female produces an egg cell—also called an ovum or gamete, and the male produces the fertilizing seed cell—also called a spermatozoon or sporophyte. When they fuse into one cell—the zygote—all of the necessary means and information required for the growth of a mature man or woman are present, and with the proper nutrition and care we are the result.
In this program we will examine the male and female reproductive systems, fertilization, pregnancy and lactation. |
