Episode notes
Penis Definition
- Penises have diverse forms and functions across the animal kingdom, varying greatly in material and sperm delivery methods.
- Some species use alternative methods for sperm transmission, challenging the notion that a penis defines a male.
Seahorse and Cave Insect Reproduction
- Female seahorses deposit eggs into the male's pouch, where they are fertilized and incubated.
- Some cave insects have females that insert an ovipositor into the male to receive sperm, showcasing role reversal.
Genital Development
- The genital tubercle develops into a penis or clitoris depending on hormonal presence, specifically dihydrotestosterone.
- Absence of dihydrotestosterone leads to a shorter urethra, resulting in clitoral development.
