Pull the spring downwards then let it go. While winding the paper roll
regularly.
➢ Observation:
The graph represents simple harmonic motion (oscillatory motion).

Oscillatory motion:
It is the motion of the oscillating body around its rest point, where the motion is
repeated through equal interval of time.

PROPERTIES OF OSCILLATORY MOTION

1. The Amplitude:
It is the maximum displacement achieved by an oscillating body away from
its point of rest. It is measured in meter (m).

2- The complete oscillation:

It is the movement made by the oscillating body
when it passes a single point in its path of motion,
two consecutive times in the same direction.
Ex.The pendulum completes one oscillation when
it covers the distance: A-B-A-C-A
A complete oscillation consists of 4
amplitudes.(4 displacements)

3.The periodic time:

It is the time needed by an oscillating body to make a complete oscillation

The periodic time is denoted by (T).Periodic time is measured in seconds

(s), and it is determined by the relation:

Time (s)
Periodic Time =
No. of complete oscillations

solved example: What is the periodic time for the

pendulum oscillating in the figure?

Periodic time = ½ x4 =2s

Frequency (F):

It is the number of complete oscillations in one second. The

unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).

EX:A simple pendulum makes 50 complete oscillations in 10 seconds, its

frequency is 5 Hertz.Frequency is the reciprocal of the periodic time.

No. of complete vibrations 1

Frequency = Frequency =

The Microwave oven

➢ Microwaves cause the vibration of water molecules
inside food.
➢ Water molecules collide with each other producing
a lot of heat energy to cook the food faster.
➢ Pots made of pottery, ceramics or glasses are used in the microwave.
➢ Metal cooking Pots aren’t used inside a microwavebecause metal
reflects the microwavesbackto the source.

propagation of concentric circles on the surface of water
&Representswave motion.

The role of waves in energy transfer

Activity :Place the dominos in the form of a line at equal
distances from each other. Push the first domino.
➢ Observation:
• The pieces fall consecutively.
• The first domino piece falls transferring its energy to the
next one. The 2nd piece falls down in turn transferring
the energy to the next piece and so on.
• Energy transfer through the domino pieces continues and the pieces never change
position inthe line.
➢ Conclusion
Wave:
The disturbance that propagates and transfers energy in the direction
of propagation

Activity: The concept of wave motion.

Sound energy causes the vibration of the air &
smoke molecules. The energy is transferred to the
flame.So The flame of the candle vibrates

Wave motion:

It is the movement that results from the vibration of the particles

of the medium in a specific direction.

10
The direction of the progress of the wave:
It is the line of wave propagation

Types of Waves

According to the direction of vibration According to the ability of the wave

of the particles of the medium to propagate

Transverse Longitudinal Mechanical Electromagnetic

①According to the direction of vibration of

the particles of the medium:

1. The transverse wave:

It is formed of crests and troughs as compared to the
longitudinal waves which are formed of compressions and
rarefactions.
Crest : The highest point in a transverse wave with
respect to the horizontal line.
Trough : The lowest point in the transverse wave with respect to the horizontal line.

2. In longitudinal waves:
Compression : The point of highest density and pressure of the wave.
Rarefaction : The point of lowest density and pressure
During wave propagation, the particles of the medium do not change position; however
they vibrate around their points of rest

Physiotherapy tubs (Jacuzzi)

Jacuzzi is a tub where water moves in circular waves. It's used to treat sprains and cramps
when filled with hot water and nervous tension when filled with cold water. It’s found in
health clubs.

②According to the propagation of the wave:

Transverse water waves and sound Light waves and radio waves used in radars are
longitudinal waves are mechanical electromagnetic waves. They are all transverse
waves. waves.

➢ Both mechanical and electromagnetic waves propagate in different material media,

however the velocity of mechanical waves is much slower than that of electromagnetic
waves. Electromagnetic waves propagate in space with a velocity of 3 x 108 m/s.

12
• We can't hear the sound of solar explosions
Because sound is transferred in the form of mechanical waves which aren’t transmitted
through space. We can see the light coming out of the sun which is transmitted as
electromagnetic waves that can travel through space.

• Thunder occurs with lightning at the same time but we hear thunder after seeing
lightning
Because the speed of light is bigger than the speed of sound.

 Lesson 1:
Properties of sound
Sound:

It is an external stimulus that affects the ear and causes hearing.

1. Sound is produced by the vibration of the bodies.

2. Sound waves are mechanical longitudinal waves that travel in different media in the
form of spheres, where the center of these spheres is the source of sound.
3. The velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s

Answer: the distance between the centers of two consecutive compressions or
rarefactionsis 1.5 m

Sounds heard by the human ear are classified into two types:
P.O.C. Musical tones Noise
1- Frequency uniform frequency non-uniform frequency

2- Effect on the ear comfortable uncomfortable

3- Source violin drill

The ears distinguish different sounds because sounds differ in 3 characteristics:

1-Sound pitch. 2- Sound intensity. 3- Sound quality.

19
First: Sound Pitch
❖ The sound of the lion is harsh& that
of the sparrow is high.
❖ The voice of the woman is sharp or
high-pitched compared to a man’s
voice which is low-pitched&rough.

The relation between frequency & the pitch of sound.

Sound pitch:
It is a property of sound that distinguishes between harsh (rough) and sharp voices.

1. The sharpness of sound increases as the frequency of the source

increases and vice versa.
2. The vibration of the air molecules above water produces sound. The
pitch changes according to the length of air column.

Steps for determining the pitch of a tone usingSavart’ s wheel:

1-Listen to a tone you want to determine its pitch.
2-Rotate Savart’s wheel at the same time one of the gears
teeth contacts a flexible metal sheet.
3-Increase the speed of rotation till you hears a sound
similar to that of the unknown tone.

So that, by increasing the speed of rotation, the frequency increases and the sound
becomes high-pitched (sharp).

20
A solved example:
What’s the frequency of a tone produced by Savart's Wheel that rotates with velocity of
900 cycles in 3 minutes, the number of teeth of the gear is 30 teeth.
t = 3 x 60 = 180 s
F = 900 x 30
180
F = 150 Hz
Problem(1)
Calculate the frequency of a musical tone similar to the frequency of a produced tone
using Savart’s wheel rotated with a velocity of 960 cycles in two minutes, given that
the number of teeth of the gear is 30 teeth.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Problem (2)
If the frequency of the sound produced by touching a metallic plate with a gear in
Savart’s wheel is 100 Hz. Calculate the number of the gear’s teeth, if the wheel
rotates with speed 120 cycles/minute.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Problem (3)
Calculate the time in minutes taken by Savart’s wheel to make 600 cycles, f the
frequency of the sound produced by touching a metallic plate with a gear of 60 teeth
is 300 Hz.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………

Second . Sound intensity( I ):

Sound intensity:

It is a property of sound that distinguishes strong and weak sounds (loud

& quite).

a.The sound intensity at a point:

It is the amount of sound energy falling perpendicular on a unit area surrounding this point
in one second.

21
b. Sound intensity is measured by Watt/meter2
c. Noise intensity is expressed by Decibel scale.

Factors affecting sound intensity:

1) The distance between the sound source and the ear.
2) The amplitude of the sound source.
3) The area of the vibrating surface (a resonating box).
4) The density of the medium through which sound travels.
5) Direction of the wind

①The relation between the distance between the sound source and the ear & the
intensity of sound.
Q: At which position is the sound intensity the highest? …….. I

a b c
d2
The voice is loudest when you are the nearest to the other person.
➢ Sound intensity decreases gradually as the distance between the sound source
andthe ear increases.
➢ Sound intensity at a point is inversely proportional to the square of the
distancebetween the source of sound and that point.

②The effect of the amplitude of the sound source on the sound intensity.
➢ Sound intensity is directly proportional to the square of
the amplitude of vibration of the source.

The figure represents two sound waves A & B. Wave Ahas

higher amplitude & therefore it’s louder.

22
③The effect of the area of the vibrating
surface (a resonance box) on the sound intensity.
➢ When the source of sound touches a resonance box,
the air in the box vibrates increasing the sound
intensity. Due to the increase of the area of the
vibrating surface

G.R :The strings of musical instruments such as (violin& guitar) are fixed above an empty
(resonance) box.
➢ Due to the increase of the surface area of the vibrating body, so the sound intensity
increases.

④The effect of the density of the medium on sound

intensity.
➢ Sound intensity is affected by the density of the medium that
transmits the sound.
➢ Sound intensity increases as the density of the medium increases.

⑤The effect of the Wind direction on sound intensity

➢ Sounds traveling in the direction of the wind are louder than sounds that travel
against wind direction.

N.B :Ear plugs made of silicon are placed in the external ear canal to
reduce noise.

23
 Third : Sound quality
The property, by which the ear can distinguish between different sounds according
to the nature of the source, even if they were of the same pitch and intensity

➢ Why are ears able to distinguish between the musical tones produced by a violin
and a piano even if the tones have the same pitch and intensity?
➢ The fundamental tone is a simple tone produced from a vibrating tuning fork.
➢ The tones produced from an instrument is a series of harmonic tones that differ
inintensity & pitch.
➢ Harmonic tones of different instruments are different & help the ear recognize the
source of sound.

Types of sound waves:

Humans are unable to hear all sounds. An example is the sounds produced by dolphins
because the human ears are affected by sounds of a frequency range between 20 Hz - 20
KHz

According to the frequency range heard by humans, sound waves are

classified into:

Infrasonic Sonic waves Ultrasonic

waves waves
Frequency less than 20 Hz between 20 Hz - 20 More than 20
KHz KHz
Sounds produced Sounds heard by the Sounds produced
Example before rainfall human ear by bats &
dolphins

24
➢ Ultrasonic waves are used in medical, industrial and military fields such as:
a. Breaking down kidney and ureter stones without surgery.
b. Diagnosis of prostate cancer.

 Lesson 2:
Reflection of sound waves
Sound waves are reflected when they fall on a reflecting surface.
Sound reflection:
It is the return of sound waves in the same direction due to hitting a reflecting surface.

➢ Sound reflection explains:

The laws of sound reflection.

First law: Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection.

Second law: The incident sound ray, the reflected sound ray
and the perpendicular line, all lie on the same plane
perpendicular to the reflecting surface.

Angle of incidence: It is the angle between the incident

sound ray and the perpendicular line to the reflecting
surface.

Angle of reflection: It is the angle between the reflected

sound ray and the perpendicular line to the reflecting
surface.

G.R : When a sound ray is incident perpendicular to a

reflecting surface, it reflects on itself.
➢ Because angle of incidence = angle of reflection = zero.

29
Echo: Is the repetition of sound produced due to its reflection.
Conditions necessary for hearing the echo:
1- Presence of big reflecting surface such as walls or mountains.
2- Distance between sound source and the reflecting surface must not be less than 17 meters.
3- Time period between hearing the original sound and its echo should not be less than 0.1
second.

Notice .If the velocity of sound in air is 340 m/sec & its echo in 0.1 sec
So, distance traveled by the sound = velocity x time
= 340 x 0.1 = 34 meters.
i.e.17 meters from sound source to reflecting surface &17 meters from reflecting surface to
ear.

G.R: Echo can’t be heard if the distance between sound source & reflecting surface is
less than 17 meters.
➢ Because the time between hearing main sound & its echo will be less than 1second.
10
Real life applications for echo (or Sound reflection):
1- Determination of the sound velocity (speed) through air.
2- Concentration of sound.
3- Determination of sea depth and fish shoals.
4- Detecting industrial defects.
5- Medical diagnosis.
6- Locating the position of surfaces and barriers.

1-Determination of the sound velocity through air

A solved problem
A girl produced a sound &heard its echo after 3 seconds
Calculate the distancebetween the shore and the cliff .
The velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s.
330 = 2 d
3
d = (3 x 330 ) ÷ 2 = 495 m
Problem: A person stood at a distance of 680 meters from a mountain and produced a
sound. He heard the echo after 4 sec,Calculate the velocity of sound.

30
2- Concentration of Sound:
Sound reflected from a concave surface collect at a point known as the focus of the
surface reinforcing the sound.
Concentration of sound: Is the collection of sound at a point due to its reflection on a
concave surface.
G.R: Worship places & big halls are supplied by concave walls & ceilings.
➢ To concentrate the reflected sound & make sound more clear and more intense.
G.R: The voice of Imam can be heard clearly in all parts of large masjids without using
microphones.
➢ Because the surfaces of large masjids are concave.
G.R: Fennec fox has large ability of hearing.( Or ) Gazelles & foxes have long concaved
ears to concentrate sounds
➢ Because it has large and concave ear pinna that concentrates the reflected sound and
make it more clear and more intense

3- Determination of sea depth and fish shoals:

The sonar device in the ship produces ultrasonic waves. A
hydrophone receives the reflected sound waves from sea bed or
fish shoals.
The depth (d) = velocity of sound (v) x echo time (t)
2
( t ) is the time interval between transmitting and receiving the waves (echo time).

Ultrasonic waves of frequencies higher than 20000 Hz are used for:

1- Estimating the depth of seas.
2- Exploring the fish gathering (shoals) in seas.

Problem 1: A sonar instrument makes an ultrasonic wave in water of a sea. Calculate

the time between sending the sound and hearing its echo if you know that the depth of
the sea is 5.2 kilometers and the sound velocity through water equals 1300 m/sec.

sound velocity through water is 1435 m/sec. Calculate the sea depth.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………...

31
4- Detecting industrial defects
The ultrasonic waves can be used in detecting the industrial defects.
Because the waves reflected from the areas which contain air bubbles
(defects in welding or cracks) have different intensity than those
reflected from well welded areas and to avoid disasters.

5- Medical diagnosis:
Ultrasonic waves are used in medical investigations and laboratory
tests& in checking the state of an embryo and in detecting the sex
of the embryo & its health condition.
➢ Because different parts of the body reflect ultrasonic waves in
various intensities.

6- Locating the position of surfaces and barriers.

Bats can use sound reflection (echo) to:
1-Locate the position of their praise.
2-Fly in the dark without colliding with anything.
*Similarly, dolphins can avoid obstacles on their way under
water.

G.R: Bats can fly in the dark without colliding with anything.
➢ Because they produce ultrasonic waves that reflect on the surfaces and barriers then
receive them back & locate their positions.

G.R: Dolphins can avoid obstacles on their way under water.

➢ Because they produce ultrasonic waves that reflect on the
surfaces, then receives them back.

Reducing noise:
1. Carpets absorb many sounds & prevent their reflection therefore they reduce noise.
2. Factory machines are installed on rubber bases which absorb many sounds.

G.R: A piece of moquette or rubber is put under the washing machines.

➢ To absorb the noise produced due to the vibration instead of its reflection from the
glistening surfaces of walls

Lesson 4
Reflection & refraction of light
① Reflection of light

➢ Light reflection:
It is the returning back of light waves in the same medium on meeting a reflecting
surface.
➢ Reflection of light explains why we see inverted images of trees in pools of rain on
the road.
➢ It also explains the formation of shadow of trees and buildings & other objects.

Types of reflection
Regular reflection Irregular reflection
Examples of the a. Plane mirror. a. A tree leaf.
reflecting surface b. Aluminum foil. b. A piece of leather.
c. Stainless steel tray. c. A woolen jacket.
Definition The incident light rays reflect The light rays reflect non
uniformly in one direction when uniformly in different directions
it falls on a smooth and when it falls on a rough
glistening reflecting surface. reflecting surface.

The laws of light reflection

First law: Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
Second law: The incident light ray, reflected light
ray & the normal line, all lie in one plane
perpendicular to the reflecting surface.

41
The incident light ray which falls perpendicular on a reflecting surface, reflects on itself.
Because angle of incidence = angle of reflection = zero.

1)-Angle of incidence:
It is the angle between the incident light ray and the perpendicular to the reflecting surface at
the point of incidence.
2)-Angle of reflection:
It is the angle between the reflected light ray and the perpendicular to the reflecting surface at
the point of incidence.
3)-The incident light ray:
It is a ray which is represented by a straight line and it intersect with the reflecting surface.
4)-The reflected light ray:
It is a ray which is represented by a straight line that is reflected from the reflecting
surface.

Technological application of light reflection:

1- Periscope: It is used in
1- In submarines to see what is going on the water surface.
2- To see events happening behind a wall or a barrier.
3- To monitor the dangerous chemical reactions in laboratory.
2- Optical fibers:
They are used in manufacturing medical endoscopes used by
doctors to:
- They use cameras optical fibers are inserted in the body to see
internal organs and diagnose some diseases.
- Visualize injuries.
- Doing high-risk operations using lasers.

②Refraction of light

➢ Light refraction:
It is the change of light path when it travels from a transparent medium to another
transparent medium of different optical density.
➢ Light travels in different transparent media with different velocities.

42
➢ Optical density of the medium: It is the ability of the transparent medium to refract the
light.

G.R: The optical density of a medium differs from one medium to another.
Due to the change in the light velocity through such medium.
➢ As optical density of medium increases, the speed of light through it decreases
and vice versa.

Important Points:

1)-Angle of incidence:
It is the angle between the incident light ray and the normal at
the point of incidence.
2)-Angle of refraction:
It is the angle between the refracted light ray and the normal at
the point of incidence on the surface.
3)-The angle of emergence:
It is the angle between the emergent light ray and the normal at
the point of emergence.
➢
What is meant by angle of emergence in a prism is 500
This means that the angle between the emergent ray and the line perpendicular to the
interface at the point of emergence is 500

Laws of light refraction

1- When a light ray travels from a transparent medium of lower optical

density (air or water) to another of higher optical density (glass).It
refracts near the normal.

2- When a light ray travels from a transparent medium of higher optical

density (glass) to another of lower optical density (air or water). It
refracts far from the normal.

3-When a light ray falls perpendicular to the interface between two

different transparent media. It passes to the other medium without any
refraction

43
Absolute refractive index of a medium (n) :

It is the ratio between the light velocity through air to the light velocity through another
transparent medium.

G.R: The absolute refractive index of any transparent medium is always greater than
one.
Because the velocity of light through air is always greater than the light velocity in any other
transparent medium.

A solved example
Calculate the velocity of light in glass. If you know that (The velocity of light in air equals
3x 108 m/s. The absolute refractive index of glass is 1.5 )

Speed of light (glass) = Speed of light (air)

refractive index of glass

Speed of light (glass) = 3x 108 ÷ 1.5

= 2 x 108 m/s

Critical angle and total internal reflection:

1)-When the angle of incidence is less than 48.6 , the

light ray refracted away from the normal.

2)-When the angle of incidence becomes 48.6 , the

light ray refracted tangent to the separating surface and
the angle of incidence in this case is called critical
angle.( Critical angle of water is 48.6°) .

3)-When the angle of incidence is greater than 48.6 , the light ray reflected instead of being
refracted.

44
 Conclusion:
➢ When the angle of refraction in least optical dense medium (air) is 900 (the refracted
ray is tangent to the interface).The angle of incidence in the most optical dense
medium (water) is called Critical angle of this medium (which differs from one
medium to another).
➢ When the light ray is incident in more optical dense medium with an angle greater than
the critical angle of that medium. It reflects in the same medium which is known as
“total internal reflection”.

Critical angle:
It is the angle of incidence of light ray which travels from high optical density medium to
low optical medium so, the light ray refracted at 90 to the normal.
Total internal reflection:
It is the return of light ray when it is incident in a medium of larger optical dense by an angle
larger than the critical angle of this medium.

Natural phenomena related to light reflection & refraction:

1)-Apparent shapes of objects
Such as when you put pencil in beaker filled with water, pencil appears
as being broken due to the reflection of light.
2)-Apparent position of objects
It means that the objects appear in apparent position slightly above its
real position such as:
➢ The bottom of the swimming pool seems higher than its true
position.
➢ The fish in a glass basin seems at a position higher than its real
position.
3)-Mirage
It is a natural phenomena that the object on the roads at noon
especially in the summer times on the desert as if they had
inverted images on a wet area due to the total internal
reflection.
As the air above the desert road is heated at noon and covers
the Earth surface which leads to the formation of different
air layers of different temperature by convection currents.
so, the light rays come from the object and refract many times from the high layer to the
hot layer.

49
 Lesson 1
Reproduction in plants
Flower:
It is the organ of sexual reproduction in flowering plants .
Characteristics of flower
 The seeds & fruits are formed inside the flower.
 The flower arises from a floral bud which emerges from the axle of a leaf called bract.
 The axle may carry a number of flowers which is known as inflorescence.

Structure of a typical flower:

A flower has a thin neck that ends with a receptacle which carries the 4 whorls of the
flower: calyx, corolla, gynoecium & androecium

1- Calyx:
a) It is the first whorl of the flora leaves.
b) It consists of a group of green leaves; each leaf
is called a sepal.
Its function:
It protects inner parts of the flower.
2-Corolla
a) It is the second whorl of the floral leaves.
b) It consists of a group of colorful & scented
leaves; each leaf is called a petal.
Its function:
a) It protects the reproductive organs.
b) It attracts insects.

50
3- Androecium:
a) It is the third whorl of the floral leaves.
b) It is the male reproductive organ of the flower.
c) Its leaves are known as stamens.
d) Each stamen consists of filament ends in
anther, which contains pollen grains
Its function:
It produces & holds pollen grains.

4- Gynoecium:
a) It is the fourth (innermost) whorl of the floral leaves.
b) It is the female reproductive organ of the flower.
c) Its leaves are known as carpals, which look like the flask.
d) Each carpel consists of a swollen part called ovary which is Ovary
connected with a tube called style which ends in an opening called
stigma (maysem).

Its function:
It produces ovules (inside the ovary).

Types (Sex) of flowers:

1- Male flowers:
They contain only male reproductive organs (Androecium).
e.g. (Palms, maize and pumpkins)
2- Female flowers:
They contain only female reproductive organs (Gynoecium).
e.g. (Palms, maize and pumpkins)
3- Bisexual (hermaphrodite) flowers:
They contain both male & female reproductive organs.
e.g. (Tulip, petunia, gelly & wallflower).

51
 Reproduction in plants:

First: Sexual reproduction in plants:

Pollination:
It is the process of transfer of pollen grains from the flower
anthers to the stigmas.

Types of pollination:

1-Self-pollination:Is the transfer of pollen grains from

anthers of a flower to stigmas of the same flower.
2- Mixed pollination: Is the transfer of pollen grains from
anthers of a flower to stigmas of another flower in other plant
of the same kind.

Methods of mixed (cross) pollination:

1) Pollination by air (wind):
 Anthers of flowers are hanged. To open by air.
 Anthers produce big numbers of pollen grains. To
compensate pollen grains.
 The pollen grains are light in weight and dry.To be easily
carried by air.
 Stigmas are feathery sticky like. To catch pollen grains from
air.
2) Pollination by insects:
 Petals are colored & scented. To attract insects to feed on its
nectar.

52
3) Artificial pollination:
 This method of pollination is carried out by man.
(e.g. Palm trees)
Sometimes, man has to pollinate palm trees.
To ensure pollination process as pollination is difficult to occur by air or by insects
II) Fertilization:
It is the process of fusion of the nucleus of the male cell (pollen grains) with the nucleus of
the female (ovum) to form zygote.

Pollen grain germination:

 They are small cells formed in the anther inside
pollen chamber.
 When they become mature, the anther splits
longitudinally& the pollen grains spread in air like
dust.

➢ Stages of fertilization process in plants:

1-After pollination, pollen grain sticks on stigma.
2- Pollen grain germinates forming a pollen tube.
3- Pollen tube extends in style till reaches ovule inside ovary through micropyle.
4- The end of the pollen tube degenerates and one of the 2 male nuclei combines with the
ovum forming zygote.
5- Zygote undergoes divisions to form the embryo inside the ovule.
6- Ovule develops & becomes seed, but ovary develops & becomes fruit.

N.B: -Fruits differ from each other according to the

nature of the ovary where :
 The ovary that contains one ovule, gives a fruit with a
single seed as olives and peaches.
 The ovary that contains many ovules, gives a fruit
with many seeds as beans or peas.

53
Second: Asexual reproduction in plants:
Vegetative reproduction: It takes place via parts of roots, stems, leaves or buds.

1- Natural vegetative reproduction:

It takes place by many ways such as reproduction by
(Rhizomes - Corms – Tubers –Bulbs –Offshoots).
Reproduction by tubers:
The tuber is: - A root as sweet potatoes
- A stem as potatoes.
Some plants form swellings called tubers which store food.
A tuber of potato is cut into pieces so that each piece contains at
least one bud (eye). Then the pieces are buried in the soil in
the season of cultivation. From each bud a new plant
emerges.

2- Artificial vegetative reproduction:

1- Reproduction by cutting:

Cutting:
It iss a part of root, stem or leaf that taken from a plant for reproduction

Observation:

 The buds buried inside soil grow to form the root system of the plant.
 The buds above soil surface grow to form the shoot system of the plant.
 These shrubs are then transferred to soil to grow more efficiently.

2- Reproduction by grafting:
In reproduction by grafting, an individual plant which containing more than one bud, known
as scion (graf), is selected to be placed on another individual known as the stock.

Methods of grafting:

a) Grafting by attachment: In which the scion is attached

to the stock.
e.g. Mango trees.

54
b) Grafting by wedge: In which the scion in the form of a wedge (pencil shaped) is inserted
into a cleft in the stock.
e.g. Large trees

➢ In both methods, the scion and the stock are tightly fled together, wherethe scion feeds on
the juice of the stock.
 The produced fruits by grafting belong to the type of the scion.
 This kind of reproduction is used only between highly similar plant species
Such as:
 Orange &naring (or bitter orange).
 Apples and pears.
 Peaches & apricots.
3- Tissue culture:
Is a process of multiplying a small part of a plant to get many identical parts.
The plant tissue is placed in a culture medium containing nutrients and hormones
An example : Tissue culture from potato

 Lesson 2
Reproduction in humans

1. Like all higher animals, humans can only reproduce sexually. A sperm from a man joins
with an egg (ovum) in the woman to produce a new human individual.
2. The offspring is different from the parents.
3. The system responsible for reproduction in humans is called (the genital system).
Male genital system is different in structure & function from female genital system.

First, The male reproductive genital system:

It consists of:
1. 2 testes.
2. Vas deferens.
3. Genital associated glands.
4. Penis.

1)-Testes

- They are 2 glands of oval shape.

- They lie outside the body in a sac like structure called (scrotal sac) (scrotum) which is
hanged between man’s thighs.

Function of testes:
1)-Production of sperms after puberty.
2)-Production of male sex hormone (testosterone) which is responsible for appearance of
secondary sex characters (signs of puberty) in male.
Function of scrotal sac:
It regulates and keeps the temperature of testes 2 degree below the normal body temperature
which is suitable temperature for growth and development of the sperms.
Signs of puberty in male:
1)-Growth of hair in certain body areas.
2)-Harshness of voice.
3)-Development of genital organs.
4)-Growth of bones.
5)-Enlargement of muscles.

59
If the testes are present inside the body and don’t come out during development of the
embryo then sperms will not grow or develop and in the individual become (infertile) or
(sterile).

2)-The Vas deference

Each testis is connected to a group of fine convoluted (looped)

tubes known as (Epididymis) which extends in the form of a
single tube known as (vas deference).

Function of epididymis: Store the sperms

Function of the vas deference:
It transfers the sperms from the testis to the urinogenital duct (urethra).

3)-Genital associated glands:

There are 3 kinds of genital glands connected to the male

reproductive system which are:
1)-Seminal vesicles.
2)-Prostate gland.
3)-Cowper’s gland.

Function of genital glands:

They secrete a seminal fluid (alkaline fluid) which:
1)-Nourishes (feed) the sperms.
2)-Facilitate the flow of sperms.
3)-Neutralizes the acidity of urethra, so the sperms don’t die during passing through
the urethra.

4)-The penis:

- It is a sponge like tissue.

- The urethra passes through it and ends in anurosexual opening, through which the semen
and urine go out of the body but never at the same time.

60
Second: The female reproductive genital
system:

It consists of:
1)-2 Ovaries.
2)-2 fallopian tubes.
3)-Uterus.
4)-Vagina.

1)-Two Ovaries:

- They are 2 glands having the size of an almond.

- They lie inside the body in the lower part of the abdominal
cavity from the back.

Function of Ovaries:
1)-Production of ova where each ovary releases one ripe ovum every 28 days in exchange
with the other ovary. This process is called (ovulation)
2)-Production of female sex hormones which are responsible for:
a)- Estrogen responsible for appearance of secondary sex characters in .
b)-Progesterone responsible for occurrence and continuity of pregnancy.

Signs of puberty in female:

1)-Growth of hair in armpit and pubic.
2)-Softness of voice.
3)-Growth and development of breasts.
4)-Accumulation of fats in some body regions.
5)-Occurrence of menstrual cycle every 28 days as long as the pregnancy not happened.

2)-Two fallopian tubes:

- They are two tubes of funnel shaped opening provided with
finger like projections.
- The inner wall of fallopian tube lined with cilia.
- The two fallopian tubes are open in the upper corners of the
uterus.

61
Function of the fallopian tubes:
-They receive the ripe ovum and direct it towards the uterus by the aid of:
a)-Contractions and relaxations of muscles in the tubes wall.
b)-Movement of lining cilia.

3)-The Uterus:

- It is a hollow pear shaped organ.

- It has muscular wall that can expand as the fetus grows during
pregnancy.
- It is lined with the mucus membrane rich in blood capillaries to form a placenta which is
responsible for the nourishment of the fetus during pregnancy through the umbilical cord.
- It lies in the pelvic cavity between the urinary bladder and rectum.
Function of Uterus:
It protects and nourishes the fetus during pregnancy till birth.

4)-The Vagina:

- It extends from the uterus and ends in the external genital opening.
- It is a muscular tube that expands during the labor to deliver the baby.

Reproductive cells in males and females (sperms and ovum)

The structure of the ovum,
it is large in size (sesame seed size) due to the storage of
the nutrient materials.

Spherical static cell consists of:

1)-Nucleus contains half chromosomes.
2)-Cytoplasm store food and nourishment the cell.
3)-The cellular membrane coat the cell from outside.

The structure of the sperm:

-It is considered very small if it is compared with the ovum.
- It is mobile (not static).
- It consists of:
1)-The head: contains a nucleus with half chromosomes.
2)-The middle part (midpiece): contains mitochondria
responsible for the energy production for sperms movement.

62
 3)-The tail, thin and long responsible for the movement of sperm till reaches the ovum.

Fertilization and embryo formation:

Definition of fertilization:
It is the fusion between the nucleus of male gamete (sperm) with the nucleus of female
gamete to form the zygote.
Note:
1. The body of the living organism consists of cells.
2. The nucleus in the cell contains the genetic material called chromosomes.
3. The chromosomes are responsible for the hereditary traits of the organism.
4. The number of chromosomes for a certain species is constant. Humans have 46
chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs in all cells except reproductive cells which have half
the number of chromosomes (23).

Steps of fertilization
- During mating, the male secretes billions of sperms which move from the vagina towards
uterus then to the fallopian tubes.
- The female produces only one ovum in the 14Th day of the beginning of the menstrual
cycle.
- The sperms rush towards the ovum at the beginning of the fallopian tubes.
- The head of the sperm secretes enzymes which dissolve the cellular membrane of ovum
to facilitate its penetration inside the ovum.
- After the penetration of the sperm which consists half chromosomes (23 chromosomes)
fuses with the nucleus of the ovum which consists of half number of chromosomes (23
chromosomes).
- A zygote is formed which consists of 46 chromosomes.

- The zygote transfers to the uterus to be implanted in its lining.

63
Development of the embryo

- The zygote divides many successive divisions into many cells and differentiates and
continues to grow forming embryo (fetus).
- The period between fertilization and delivery is known as the pregnancy period which
extends about 9 months

Stages of fetal development:

Duration Development of embryo
The first stage The first 6 weeks of pregnancy Formation of a head & eyes.

The second stage 7th week till 12th week of The face , genital organs &
pregnancy digits appear

13th week till it the 22nd of 1. Development of bones &

pregnancy. circulatory system.
The third stage
2. The embryo movements are
felt by the pregnant mother.
23rd week till delivery. All body systems are
The fourth stage completely developed through
this stage.

64
1. The fetus could be delivered by the twenty eighth week because its respiratory system
can breathe atmospheric air.
2. When the embryo is completely developed , it inverts its position with the head towards
the cervices of the uterus.

Diseases of the genital system

Genital system diseases in male and female are classified into two types:
• First type: diseases not arising from sexual contact like: uterine cancer, prostate
cancer, puerperal sepsis.

puerperal sepsis disease

Means of infection
Bacterial infection (Spherical Bacteria) of the female
reproductive system after child birth.
Incubation period
1-4 days
Symptoms Increase in body temperature, chilling, pallor, severe acute pains
in the lower abdomen associated by secretions from the uterus
with bad smell.
Prevention Sterilizing surgical tools. Avoiding contact with patients.
The mother should avoid exposure to cold air currents.

65
 • Second type: diseases arising from sexual contact, sexually transmitted diseases STDs
like: gonorrhea, syphilis and AIDS.

Incubation period:

It is the period of time between catching an infection and appearance of symptoms on

the patient.

symptoms on the patient.

Syphilis disease
Means of infection Syphilis bacteria (Spiral Bacteria) are transferred from an infected
person by sexual contact.

The bacteria can be transferred from the pregnant woman to her

embryo.

Incubation period 2 to 3 weeks

Symptoms - The formation of a painless hard ulcer on the genital organs.

- Dark brass colored rash appears on the back and hands.
Complications - Tumors in different parts of the body like of the liver, bones and
parts of the genital system.
- The brain may also be damaged and the patient eventually dies.

The effect of smoking and addiction on the genital system:

1- Decrease the formation male hormone in man and female hormone in woman.
2- Lead to the death of the embryos and recent born babies.
3- The intake of drugs by pregnant mother lead to the increase of deformation rate in
the embryos.
Healthy toilet seat cover
A plastic medical cover in the form of an elliptical plastic frame - sold in pharmacies –
should be used in public toilets to avoid infection
66 by some skin and genital diseases.
