system is to protect the body against pathogens.
• Types of pathogens include viruses, bacteria, and parasites.

including:1. Identify pathogens2. “Tag” pathogens for destruction by
other WBC’S3. Destroy the pathogen by eating it4. Destroy the pathogen using chemicals5. Make antibodies
WHITE BLOOD CELLS
An Immune Response• Antigens are protein
“tags” that can be used to identify a cell or virus

Sexual and Asexual Sexual and Asexual ReproductionReproduction
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
one parent two parents
faster and easier more time, effort, risk
no variation variation due to recombination of genes
offspring the same as parent offspring different from parents
MitosiMitosis and s and
MeiosiMeiosiss
Mitosis and MeiosisMitosis and MeiosisMITOSIS MEIOSIS
used in all forms of asexual reproductionused in growth and repair
makes gametes for sexual reproduction
number and type of chromosomes in the daughter cell are the same as in the parent
separates the homologous chromosomes so that the offspring get one chromosome from each parent (half the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells)
one cell division two cell divisions
results in 2 identical diploid (2n) cells
Results in 4 different haploid (n) cells
Mitosis

• TestosteronTestosteronee is the male is the male sex hormone sex hormone – it is made in – it is made in the testesthe testes
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMSYSTEM
• OvariesOvaries produce eggs produce eggs• The fallopian tube The fallopian tube carries the egg to the uteruscarries the egg to the uterus• The uterus The uterus is the womb where the baby will developis the womb where the baby will develop• The vagina The vagina is the birth canal where the baby will is the birth canal where the baby will

FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMSYSTEM
• The menstrual cycle The menstrual cycle lasts 28 days (on lasts 28 days (on average)average) OvulationOvulation – release of – release of
an egg (typically 1 per an egg (typically 1 per cycle)cycle)
MenstruationMenstruation – – shedding of the uterine shedding of the uterine wallwall
If pregnancy does occur, If pregnancy does occur, the menstrual cycle will the menstrual cycle will temporarily stop.temporarily stop.
EARLY DEVELOPMENTEARLY DEVELOPMENTEARLY DEVELOPMENT:•Fertilization forms a single cell called a zygote•The process of cleavage begins (no growth between mitotic cell divisions)•A solid ball of cells forms called a morula•The blastula forms next when the center becomes fluid filled•Eventually a gastrula is formed
