You have gained a work experience placement in the pathology
department of Leeds General Infirmary. You will be assisting a
biomedical scientist working in the reproductive science laboratory.
The laboratory undertakes studies into embryology and andrology. As
part of your placement you are expected to produce a report that
evaluates the role of hormones in the regulation and control of the
reproductive system.
Produce a detailed report including:
● Include labelled diagrams to describe how hormones control
gametogenesis in both males and females.
● Produce labelled diagrams to show the anatomy of the male
and female reproductive systems and annotate your diagrams
with a description of how each part functions and how
conception occurs.
● Produce a graphical representation showing the phases of the
