Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/ovulation) to observe ovulation and its initiation in
response to the release of FSH and LH from the pituitarygland. What specialized structures help guide the oocytefrom the ovary into the uterine tube?
Watch this series of videos (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/oocyte) to look at the movement of the oocyte through the ovary. The cilia in the uterine tube promote movement of the oocyte. What would likely occur if the cilia wereparalyzed at the time of ovulation?
A baby’s gender is determined at conception, and the different genitalia of male and female fetuses develop from the same tissues in the embryo. View this animation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/fetus) that compares thedevelopment of structures of the female and male reproductive systems in a growing fetus. Where are the testes located for most of gestational time?
