Question
Based on its location, what is one consequence of the changes that occur in a prostate gland as men age that is related to another organ system?
identify three distinct functions of the reproductive system.
Describe at least three distinctive phases in the development of a human, from zygote to embryo to fetus to child. Each stage should include at least one major feature of the development of cells, tissues, organs, and/or systems. At least one stage should describe detection of a feature whose absence would indicate a complication in fetal development, including the medical tool by which it would be measured. Include a description of how fetal circulation takes place in the womb and the changes in the circulatory system at birth. Describe how a complication in the changes that occur at birth could impact development.

### Consequence of Prostate Changes with Age
As men age, the prostate gland can enlarge (benign prostatic hyperplasia), which may compress the urethra and affect the urinary system, leading to difficulty urinating.
### Three Functions of the Reproductive System
1. **Gamete Production**: Produces sperm in males and eggs (ova) in females.
2. **Hormone Regulation**: Secretes hormones like testosterone and estrogen that regulate sexual development and function.
3. **Fertilization**: Facilitates the meeting of sperm and egg for reproduction.
### Developmental Phases in Humans
1. **Zygote**: This is a fertilized egg that undergoes rapid cell division (cleavage). It forms a blastocyst, which will implant in the uterus.
2. **Embryo**: From about weeks 2 to 8, major organs and systems start to develop (e.g., the heart begins to beat). Ultrasound can detect the embryo’s heart activity, and absence of cardiac activity may indicate a complication.
3. **Fetus**: From about week 9 until birth, the fetus grows larger and more complex. Organ systems mature, and structures, like limbs and facial features, develop.
### Fetal Circulation and Changes at Birth
Fetal circulation includes oxygen-rich blood from the placenta passing through the umbilical cord to the fetus. The foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus allow blood to bypass the non-functioning lungs.
At birth, the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus close, redirecting blood flow to the lungs. If these changes do not occur properly, the newborn may experience breathing difficulties or heart issues.
