Document Summary

General organization: external reproductive organs, vulva and clitoris: heat signal. In males, testosterone can be linked to estradiol therefore when they start to mount females it is evident they are ready. Ovulation is the release of eggs from the ovaries. In humans, this event occurs when the follicles rupture and release the secondary oocyte ovarian cells. [1] after ovulation, during the luteal phase, the egg will be available to be fertilizedby sperm. In addition, the uterine lining (endometrium) is thickened to be able to receive a fertilized egg. If no conception occurs, the uterine lining as well as blood will be shed during menstruation. Cytoplasmic maturation: essential for monospermic fertilization, processing of sperm, preparation fro development to preimplantation. Includes: ability to release intracellular ca upon fertilization (triggers exocytosis of cortical granules, production of proteins which will prepare male pronucleus, accumulation of mrna, proteins, substrates and nutrients.
