Biology with Zhan Xuan: Reproduction in Humans

Hey guys, welcome back to another Biology with Zhan Xuan video, so today, we will hop into chapter   15. Probably one of the largest Topics in the  biology syllabus, and this is probably the   second most students usually will understand a  bit much better which is definitely reproduction   in humans, so as we are hopping into the second  part of the reproduction chapter video this time, we are   going to cover humans, which is stated from  the new syllabus 15.5 to 15.11 all right   so disclaimer about this video as it must be  watched by viewers who are required to be much   mature and whatever is being viewed later  on and please use this information for the   use of your educational purposes and not for  any gory detail. So enjoy the video of course   so section one sexual reproduction. So as we know there are two different of reproduction which is   one is asexual and one is sexual reproduction  so you have to watch back for what is asexual   reproduction about plants and but today we're  just going to focus about sexual reproduction   so sexual reproduction is the full definition of  it means the process of involving the fusion   of the nuclei of two gametes or what we call it  as sex cells to form a zygote and the production   of offspring that are genetically different from  each other so humans like your brothers and your   siblings they are both genetically look different  so a zygote means fertilized egg cells and    Fertilization means a fusion of gamete nuclei  it looked more into that later on. So there are   two different things when it's called a gamete and the zygote where it's being   classified as haploid and diploid so the nuclei  of gamete is called haploid, so it contains   half of the number of chromosomes. Remember that one human cell requires forty-six chromosomes   where each 23, 23 and nucleus of a zygote is  called a diploid where it contains the full sets   of chromosomes so then the claim meaning is the the central core of the nucleus of the atom or okay   okay so this is how it looks like so it requires  a sperm and an ovum to be fertilized together to   form a diploid zygote so before that they are  both called haploid because all of them only   have half of the set of chromosomes therefore  it forms a diploid. What inside contents it   contains is the maternal homologue and the paternal homologue means it's male and female technically   okay so the advantages and disadvantages between wild species and Crop Production so if advantages   would be genetic variation there's reduced  risk of Extinction and secondly is a crop   production, it has variety in yield and this  advantages would be very time-consuming and   there are a lot of resources required to make it  happen and a mate means you need to have someone   in order for you can have this sexual reproduction going on and for a disadvantage we have a lower   yield, less economic gains, Offspring phenotypes characteristics and it cannot be controlled okay   okay we're going to enter this section to the  introduction to the unisex reproduction system   between male and female okay so the first one  would be the female human reproductive system   so pretty sure you guys have seen this before  so you can see there's the fallopian tube and   those left and right of the reproductive system  that's an ovary and once the between there the   the middle is the womb lining with the womb or it can be called as the uterus and there will be   the neck of the womb or we call it a cervix  and in the end, is the vagina all right. So   the features of it the functions the ovary is  to produce more ovum and oviduct is where the   fertilization occurs the uterus lining  is where the implantation of the zygote   begins and the cervixes allow the flow of  menstrual blood to the vagina you're going   to learn this more in the menstrual cycle  later on in this video and the vagina is   when it receives the penis using sexual  reproduction. Oh sorry sexual intercourse   okay, so this is how the cross-section looks like  of a female reproductive system, so the same thing   both of them are the fallopian tube and we can see that's the uterus middle and oviduct and ovaries   Oviduct will produce the egg cells the uterus  is where the embryo develops and the cervix is   the ring of muscle and vagina is when it receives  the sperm from the penis doing sexual intercourse   and the cross-section, you can see that's the  rectum and the anus below there, so most of you   can see there are some similarities between the left side and the right side of the cross-section okay   all right the next one is the male reproductive  system okay this is we also have seen this before   so definitely in one of the things you can see is  that there's a ureter on the top and there's the   a seminal vesicle, the prostate glands, the epidermis the testes, the urinary bladder the erectile   tissue urethra and, of course the glands penis  okay so the features of everything of this is   the testis is the one that produces the sperm  just now what it produces the ovaries are the   oviduct and scrotum is where it maintains the  temperature of the test is slightly lower than   body temperature again what it all links to this  is homeostasis and prostate glands are the secret   that alkaline fluid to protect the sperm and the  the urethra is to carry semen and fluid during erection   and penis is where it carries the sperm to the  cervix epidermis is when it stores the sperm   and the sperm duct is when it transports the Semen from the testis to the urethra okay so again this   is the cross section of how it looks like so of  course we know that's a seminal vesicle at the   top but those which are not highlighted you don't  have to know this you just have to know what is   being highlighted and the prostate glands as well as secretes the sperm so sperm plus fluid equals   to semen and the sperm duct is where it connects to testes to the urethra and it is where the   urine and sperm leaves the body so same thing that  is what is being held in here the testis and the   which produces sperm and the cross-section of it there's a bone the rectum in the anus same as   the female reproductive system cross-section  also okay so what's this different it's just   it's all different words again okay and the  difference between the male gamete versus   the female gamete which is the sperm and the  ovum of course which the meal damage is much   smaller and the structure of it is much elongated  and streamlined for swimming when it's being done   after sexual intercourse and the mobility is for  the flagellum to swim and the numbers are millions   each contains 23 chromosomes half the set of it  and the female gamete is much larger therefore   it's much spherical contains a lot of protein and  fat in the cytoplasm and it doesn't move in itself   but it's moved by the Cillia what is it linked to  the ciliated cells in the Oviduct and it's one   Per month and again half set of the chromosomes 23 okay so the ovum same thing but now there's an   additional kind this is the cell of it right now  so this is the layer of jelly that you call that   or it's kind of the protection of the ovum and the  cell surface membrane. Yes it's the same exactly   the speeches of the normal cell and the cytoplasm contains lots of protein, and fat contains the yolk   and nucleus containing chromosomes. This one of course, the diameter of it is about 0.1 millimetre   the sperm remember there's a flagellum which  is adapted for swimming and the length of it   is about point or 0.05 millimetre that's the head and it contains the nucleus containing chromosomes and   the mitochondria to release energy to swim and  the acrosome is for the vesicle containing enzymes   to dissolve away through the jelly surrounding  the egg cells all right so we'll move on to   the fertilization right now so of course male  and female they are produced they are oven and   male produced a sperm and once they do sexual  intercourse they will happen to become a zygote   remember it's called a fertilized egg cell it  means that are for this chromosomes in together   in total there are 23 Pairs and once after  fertilization it has become an embryo same   thing for this chromosomes in 23 paths okay so  fertilization this is how it happens so if there   is an egg in the OV duck it will be fertilized  immediately once the sperm has entered the   um the uterus wall and the sperm to swim through  the uterus and to the ovary lock to find the   ovum and the sperms are left in the top of the  vagina okay once it's being once most of it has   been traveled up ready and the Egg membrane stops  more sperm from getting through it only penetrates   one means all of the millions of sperm that got  passed through only one can go into the egg and   the nucleus of the successfully perfuses with the  egg nucleus therefore it starts to fertilize okay   so this is now we are entering into implantation  so firstly is where ovulation starts a mature   follicle bursts and releases an egg into the  oviduct therefore it starts to fertilize with   a sperm entering to form a zygote therefore the  zygote divides and after several hours a ball of   cells are formed because they have to do mitosis  and the cells in the ball keep dividing as it   expands and if that while it moves down to the  oviduct now at that stage it's called an embryo   next number six is where implantation Begins the  embryo sinks into the soft lining of the uterus   and a placenta has formed you will need to know  the meaning later so this is again kind of how   it looks like again okay and yeah yeah so the  definition of implantation is the attachment of   the fertilized egg to the uterine lining all right  so you can see from there ovum travels towards   the uterus but a rhythmic movement using chord  peristalsis movement then we learned this from   transport and animals where most our esophagus  are going in and peristalsis movement and once   the ovum is fertilized it becomes impenetrable  means others other sperms that were left out were   there to die and the zygote you see via mitosis  and implants to form into the uterus into the   uterus lining so that will the implantation  starts from that attachment of the fertilized   egg to the uterine lining okay so after all of  the implantation of this being fertilized it has   started to grow okay so that's where we can see  that the um the embryo has already expand and of   course it's not really a baby yet it's called  an embryo for a reason it's protected by what   you call a fluid called the amniotic fluid and  it's covered with the amniotic membrane again   it's filled with the amniotic fluid to protect  the embryo so we have a lot of things connected   together what we call it as the umbilical cord  which helps to transfer oxygen and removes carbon   dioxide okay so everything all starts from the end  all the food we'll be all going into the embryo so   you can see it from the top deoxygen blood from  the mother it carries the waste products from   the embryo starting and oxygen blood from mother  carries food and oxygen to the embryo so you see   the baby the embryo requires food and oxygen  in order they can grow and survive longer okay   so yeah inside is the end ion the placenta the  amniotic fluid and the embryos inside there okay   so yes from the same thing just now we can see  the lining of the uterus the vein from the mother   so of course oxygen blood and food must always  go to the embryo and the fetus blood is separated   from the mother's blood but a thin wall of  placenta so the blood cannot mix together and   it's an umbilical cord same thing as always  continuing and R3 and a vein must remember   how the artery and vein works okay so this is the  end ion simply there's always a muscular wall the   spongy line of the uterus and there's a clock of  mucus in the cervix another fluid that an iron on   the vagina is just that so after it's been grown  then it starts to squeeze in the cervix and enters   out of the vagina so continue we can see there's  the placenta the umbilical cord everything the   same thing now the cross section of how it looks  and that time is where the wall of the cervix has   become gradually wide enough for the baby's head  to pass out from the vagina so the wall vagina is   stretch allows the baby to be pushed through push  push out loud basically okay so again same thing   but this is much deeper right now so the niotic  sac is to protect the baby plus it makes um 90   foot just to protect the surrounding as called  what you call a shock absorber and the cycle of   exchange of diffusion remember the capillaries  of the arteries and veins the fetus receive the   Oxygen Plus dissolved nutrients and the fetus  removes O2 and urea so again what they mostly   do here is diffusion and the placenta X is the  barrier from toxins and pathogens some toxics can   pass across the placenta and affects the feta such  as nicotine nicotine come from smoking that's why   pregnant mothers cannot smoke otherwise it will  affect the baby so Adam Court connectors from   the belly button is when it's attaches to feeders  to the placenta to plus contain blood vessels to   transport blood okay so function of the placenta  surely is to provide oxygen nutrients removes   urea or any other waste products and is connected  to the uterus lining the function of the umbilical   cord is a supplies nutrient-rich blood to  the fetus and exit of wasted products and   it connects placenta to the fetus and the  function of the amniotic sac is houses the   fetus with the analytics fluid it's a protection  and to regulate the temperature inside them   stomach the next one is antenatal care okay  so periodically you have to go for checkups   and you must consume essential nutrients okay  such as those as we know and exercise a lot and   of course it's a healthy balanced diet and plus  it will impact the nutrients maybe even vitamin   supplements okay then buff labor and childbirth  so again it's firstly they break the amniotic   sac first and it can you do uterus starts to  contracts the dilation occurs in the cervix and   the passage of the body comes through the vagina  first thing hit comes out first and legs are the   last and tying and cutting of the umbilical  cord forms in the belly button okay see and   delivery of after above the placenta so yeah you  can see it's nearly the same here all right okay   section four will be puberty and sex hormones in  humans so puberty starts from around 10 and ends   at 18. so changes in male is of course the pen the  penis and the taste testis are enlarged the sperm   starts to be produced the secretion released from  the prostate glands starts to occur and secondary   sexual characteristics is growth or chest pubic  and armpit hair the voice deepens because of the   changes in the Rings you should know where the  larynx is from respiratory system and changes   in female will be ovulation occurs menstruation  starts uterus and the vagina grow bigger then   secondary sexual characteristic will be the breast  being developed the growth of the pubic and armpit   hair body changes the hips widen and the waist  narrow due to the vagina okay of course and   men's jewelry cycle one of the most important  things that you have to know so discharge of   blood uterus lining and ovum ovary follicle  follicle releases over and Compass lithium so   again this is just another kind of like cycle  so ovulation the follicle will be releasing   an egg cell from the ovary fertilization could  take place but the follicle turns into a curved   lithium and the line of the uterus becomes  more vascular receive the embryo from if the   egg is fertilized and menstruation as the  egg has not been fertilized to take uterus   lining is not needed and it starts to break down  gradually loss through the vagina and after that   inside the ovary a follicle containing an  Excel develops the uterus lining is again   repaired all right so yeah okay here we can see  is the follicular phase and the luteal phase so   menstruation occurs for 28 days and see you can  see that the estrogen increases and until the LH   um is the peak and then it goes down as the day  increases and the push progesterone increases   again so the hormone of FSH is produced by the  pituitary glands where it causes the egg to   grow mature into follicles and it stimulates the  ovaries to release estrogen see estrogen takes   over so the estrogen is produced by the ovary  or the follicle causes the lining of the uterus   to develop and thicken okay and cause the LH to  be released and inhibits FSH see okay and LH is   produced by the pituitary glands causes ovulation  to occur and eight releases from the follicle or   the ovary and lastly Pro it progesterone increases  again from the Corpus lithium or the placenta when   it's pregnant then the maintain the lining of the  uterus so fertilized it can implant and inhibits   the LH and so no more aches are being released so  no ovulation occurs again all right so okay see   I've already stated already so FSH is basically  means the follicle stimulating hormone and LH   is the luteinizing hormone same thing why I say  that's not you can have a look again and care   what it can occurs is the alternator can infant  care or breastfeeding versus spot to feeding   all right okay so the advantages between  breastfeeding versus bottle feeding is that   breastfeeding balance of nutrients it's free  temperature antibodies are being passed on   together and bottle feeding is that you're able to  monitor the amount being consumed anyone can feed   and disadvantages is that infant determines  the amount consumed only mothers can feed   the medication and or diets affects breast  milk together and bottle feeding is harder   to digest and needs warming therefore the milk  powder the milk content is expensive all right   okay lastly of this is Section 5 methods  of birth control so of course you can see   a textbook of page 180 to 181 firstly it's  natural adaptation or requires natural birth   control or artificial adaptation chemical  method mechanical method or surgical method   so the chemical method is where you insert  an IUD on inter intra untering device or to   prevent fertilization and implantation to occurs  and the intractory system or in IUS this is what   you just have to know for chemical birth control  and some people they use contraceptive pills okay implant or an injection another thing is  this all right so next one is mechanical   method so mechanical method one of it is the  condoms next one is the femidom the third   one is the diaphragm area of method of birth  control and it blocks the sperm from entering   the vagina okay before that there are details  that you should know so first thing for variable   control is the condoms are being placed over  an erect penis and it collects sperm plus semen   together and the femidum is placed inside the  vagina collects a sperm and semen so sperm cannot   reach the egg and the diaphragm is kept and is  placed over the cervix the reason is this to stop   the passage of sperm to uterus all right okay next  one surgical birth control or the surgical method   one of it is called a vasectomy and the one is  female sterilization where therefore sperm Ducks   cut and the cut ends tight and the one is the  surgical cut cutting of the oviducts so for the   vasectomy is to not allow any more sperm being  ejaculated and female sterilization is to stop   the eggs reaching the uterus okay so both of them  have different kind of methods in male and female   okay remember guys uh for methods of birth control  in human it doesn't happen anymore in the 2023   syllabus so therefore you don't really have to  know this but it's good for again to read a bit so   you can know how to do some questions okay so  fertility treatment is FSH in vitro artificial   insemination from a donor or a surrogate mother  so yes this is another type of fertility treatment   that can occur all right okay next one in vitro  fertilization IVF so where the LH and the FSH   is being injected to release several eggs and the  eggs are fertilized with sperm in the laboratory   and embryo returned to a woman's uterus okay  then artificial insemination is how it looks   like it is and that's all boom sex section six  last section of the video sexually transmitted   infection or we call this STIs famously okay  first thing sexual transmittal infections are   basically infection that is transmitted via  body fluids through sexual contract contact   basically so one of it is the HIV or because  the human immunodeficiency virus infection and   also the quiet immune deficiency syndromes or we  call it aids okay so HIV infects the lymphocytes   destroying lymphocytes and the immune system is  compromised to be unable to fight pathogens means   any of the contraction of covid-19 exam people  you the lymphocytes cannot do anything okay so   that's all so HIV can definitely occur in any way  sharing needles of course unprotected sex mother   to fetus blood transfusion and the control  spread of STIs is avoid from unprotected sex   and virus equals attacks and kill and doesn't  allow it to default from defend to any regular   illnesses and if you got AIDS slightly you can  die from the infection that is not normally   life-threatening all right so that's all for  this this is the final part of chapter 15 of   reproduction okay hope to see you guys in the  next video try to understand it better okay you   need time to really digest this information  all right see you in the next video bye bye
