Human Reproduction - Mind Map & Detailed Notes
(NEET)
1. Human Reproductive System
Male reproductive system includes testes, epididymis, vas deferens and accessory glands. Female
reproductive system includes ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix and vagina.
2. Gametogenesis
Spermatogenesis occurs in testes and produces sperm. Oogenesis occurs in ovaries and produces
ova.
3. Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle has menstrual, follicular, ovulatory and luteal phases. Average duration is 28
days.
4. Fertilization
Fusion of sperm and ovum generally occurs in the ampullary-isthmic junction of the fallopian tube.
5. Embryonic Development
Zygote → Cleavage → Morula → Blastocyst → Implantation → Embryo development.
6. Pregnancy & Parturition
Pregnancy lasts about 280 days. Hormonal changes support fetal growth and childbirth.
7. Lactation
Milk production occurs in mammary glands and provides nutrition and immunity to the newborn.
8. Reproductive Health
Family planning, contraception, infertility management and prevention of sexually transmitted
infections.
