Document Summary
Two, each diploid (2n) and genetically identical to each other and parent cell. Growth, repair, development of multicellular adults from zygote. Four, each haploid (1n), genetically non-identical to parent cell. Production of gametes, reduces chromosomes # by1/2, variation. Secondary sex organs (breasts, hair follicles in axillary and inguinal regions, adipose tissue in buttocks and thighs. Causes endometrium to thicken, become vascular and glandular, preparation for implantation. Solid ovoid structures held in scrotum, lobules of seminiferous tubules separated by interstitial cells. Tightly coiled tubule superior to testes, leads to vas defrens. Muscular tube leading from epididymis into abdominal cavity. Tube leading from bladder/prostate to outside, held within penis. Male excitatory organ, vascular columns fill with blood causing erection. Pouch of skin and fat that holds testes. Addition of milky alkaline fluid to semen for sperm motility. Is held in female vagina during intercourse for transfer of sperm. Hold testes at cooler temperatures to insure optimum sperm production.
