Document Summary
Not necessary for survival of the individual. Other systems of the body functional at or shortly after birth. Mechanism for transport of zygote to uterus. Delivery of male gametes to female reproductive tract. Reproductive tract: fallopian tubes (uterine tubes) fertilization and transport of ovum, uterus implantation and development of fetus, vagina coitus and birth canal. The function of the different components of the reproductive system are integrated by pituitary and ovarian hormones and complex neurological pathways. Until you start developing primordial follicle. When you start developing primary follicle. When there"s a fluid inside secondary follicle. When the follicle is large enough to ovulate mature follicle (graafian) Ovulation and follicle development is influenced by fsh from anterior pituitary. Lh also stimulates primary follicle to divide meiotic division. Multiple primordial follicles enter development at the same time. Only one follicle reaches maturity and is ovulated. Remainder degenerate by the process of atresia.
