Join Mr White, a biology teacher with 20+ years of experience, for a full lesson on topic 2.3 The Biology of Controlling Fertility, including the menstrual cycle, of the Higher Human Biology course, as well as looking at some SQA exam questions on the topic to finish. Keywords fertility, infertility, ovulation, IVF, contraception, reproductive health, male fertility, female fertility, assisted reproduction, hormonal treatments Summary This lesson covers the biology of fertility, including the differences between male and female fertility, treatments for infertility, the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF), and methods of contraception. It provides a comprehensive overview of how fertility can be controlled and the various medical interventions available to assist those facing infertility challenges. Takeaways Women have cyclical fertility, while men have continuous fertility. The fertile period for women is a small window during the menstrual cycle. Ovulation can be stimulated with drugs that prevent negative feedback on FSH. Super ovulation can occur with certain fertility drugs, leading to multiple births. Artificial insemination is used for males with low sperm counts. ICSI is a technique where sperm is injected directly into an egg. IVF involves multiple stages, including egg retrieval and fertilization. PGD is used to check embryos for genetic disorders before implantation. Contraception methods include physical barriers and hormonal treatments. The oral contraceptive pill mimics the hormonal feedback of pregnancy. Sound bites "Women show cyclical fertility." "Men continuously produce sperm." "Ovulation can be stimulated by drugs."
