Overview
Neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction. Female and male reproductive biology. Genetics of reproduction.
ANAT 333 looks in detail at the mechanisms the brain uses to drive reproductive hormone secretion and fertility, the biology of testicular, ovarian and uterine function, and genetic aspects of reproduction.
