Chapter ObjectivesAfter studying this chapter, students should be
able to . . .
1.Describe how the chromosomal content determines
the sex of an embryo and how this relates to the development of testes or
ovaries. |

sex organs and external genitalia is affected by the presence or absence of
testes in the embryo. |

are regulated in the male and describe the actions of these hormones on the
testis. |

ovarian sex steroids during a nonfertile cycle and explain the function and
fate of the corpus luteum. |

cycle. |
