Human Fertility: Reproductive Biology

The functions of the reproductive system are to produce and deliver gametes (spermatozoa or oocytes) for sexual reproduction, and produce hormones that regulate reproductive function. Abnormalities in the physiologic function affect the development and delivery of gametes, and potential fertility. Female infertility can be divided into several categories: ovarian, tubal, uterine, cervical, and other. Male infertility may be due to abnormalities of hormonal control, testicular function, or sperm transport. This book provides a comprehensive review of human reproductive biology; emphasizing hormonal control, gamete production, fertilization, implantation, and embryonic development. By developing a clear understanding of what is normal, you will better understand the abnormalities affecting fertility and the mechanisms behind treatment.
