Author: Martin Johnson
Essential Reproduction provides an accessible account of the fundamentals of reproduction within the context of cutting-edge knowledge and examples of its application. The eighth edition of this internationally best-selling title provides a multidisciplinary approach integrating anatomy, physiology, genetics, behaviour, biochemistry, molecular biology and clinical science, to give thorough coverage of the study of mammalian reproduction.
Part 1: Introduction
CHAPTER 1: What is reproduction?
Reproductive strategies
Reproductive life cycles
Conclusions
CHAPTER 2: The infrastructure of reproduction
The reproductive hardware
The brain, hypothalamus and pituitary
Reproductive messengers
General features of reproductive hormones
Conclusions
Part 2: Making women and men
CHAPTER 3: Sex
The genetic determinant of sex is located on the Y chromosome
When, where and how does Sry act?
Sexual differentiation within the gonads
Sexually dimorphic somatic differentiation depends on the endocrine activity of the fetal testis
Conclusions
CHAPTER 4: Sexual maturation
Prepubertal development
Puberty and adolescence
A distinctive pattern of hormonal changes underlies puberty
The central nervous system plays a key role in the onset of puberty
Conclusions
CHAPTER 5: Gender
Gender is a system of classification based on sex
Gender stereotypes and gender identities
The brain and behavioural dimorphism
Might the underlying basis for sex and gender differences in humans be hormonal?
Gender development may form part of social learning in humans
Gender and reproduction
Conclusions
CHAPTER 6: Sexual selection
Sexuality
Eliciting male sexual interest and arousal
Female sexual behaviour
The brain, hormones and sexual behaviour
Social factors influence sexual behaviour in higher primates
Selecting sexual partners
Conclusions
Part 3: Preparing for pregnancy
CHAPTER 7: Making sperm
Testicular organization
Spermatogenesis has three main phases
Spermatogenesis is highly organized both temporally and spatially
Conclusions
CHAPTER 8: Men
Testicular hormones
Spermatogenesis is dependent on endocrine support
Testicular hormones modulate the output of pituitary hormones
Androgens play an essential role in the fecund male
Conclusions
CHAPTER 9: Making eggs
The adult ovary consists of follicles and interstitial tissue
The follicle is the fundamental reproductive element of the ovary
Ovulation
The corpus luteum is the postovulatory ‘follicle’
Conclusions
CHAPTER 10: Women
Follicular development and the ovarian cycle
Ovarian hormones regulate gonadotrophin secretion
Feedback by steroid hormones and the inhibins regulates the menstrual cycle
Positive and negative feedback are mediated at the level of both the hypothalamus and pituitary
The ovarian cycle in relation to the oestrous and menstrual cycles
Conclusions
Part 4: Making an embryo
CHAPTER 11: Sperm and eggs
Spermatozoa require a period of epididymal maturation
Semen is made up of spermatozoa and seminal plasma
Coition
Gamete transport through the female genital tract
Conclusions
CHAPTER 12: Fertilization
Spermatozoa gain their full fertilizing capacity in the female tract
Penetrating the egg investments
Spermatozoal–oocyte interactions
Fertilization completion
Anomalous fertilization
Conclusions
CHAPTER 13: Initiating pregnancy
The preimplantation conceptus
Implantation
The molecular conversations at implantation
Summary
The prolongation of luteal life
Conclusions
Part 5: Maintaining a pregnancy
CHAPTER 14: Supporting the embryo and fetus
Nutritional strategies
Endocrine support strategies
Conclusions
CHAPTER 15: Growing the fetus
