6.6 Reproduction

 * Assessment statements** (IBO notes added to some points to clearly indicate what needs to be understood and what does not)
 * 6.6.1 || Draw and label diagrams of the adult male and female reproductive systems. Include the bladder and urethra. ||
 * 6.6.2 || Outline the role of hormones in the menstrual cycle, including FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), estrogen and progesterone. ||
 * 6.6.3 || Annotate a graph showing hormone levels in the menstrual cycle, illustrating the relationship between changes in hormone levels and ovulation, menstruation and thickening of the endometrium. ||

A quick-fire intro from Hank and Crash Course media type="custom" key="24207758"
 * Starter**

Essential Biology from[| i-Biology] is an alternate set of notes media type="custom" key="23684726"
 * Workbooks**

The [|i-Biology] presentation is a great starting point media type="custom" key="23684728"
 * Presentations and Tutorials**

Jason De Nys also has a very good presentation to use for note development media type="custom" key="24508314"

Tutorials and animations on the menstrual cycle:
 * [|abpi resources for schools] has a graph shows hormonal levels matching up to events in the menstrual cycle. It also has some basic information about the roles of the different hormones
 * [|sumanas inc.] has slightly more information about the cycle than you need, but it helps to set the context

This is a good [|narrated animation of IVF] from sunamas inc. outlining the process

[|Click4Biology] as always has a good summary helpful for revision and note completion

Use the BioK notes as guidance to help you build an effective set of notes media type="custom" key="24208864"
 * Approach**

A narrated tutorial on spermatogenesis can be accessed at [|McGraw-Hill Biology] it's useful to know the outline of the process at SL, but only HL students are required to know this process in detail.
 * Useful links**

Good [|HL level animation on the uterine cycle] with good information about oogenesis
