Reproductive System
Male
Testes
produce male sex cells (sperm) in the seminiferous tubules that are in each testis
produce hormone testosterone
helps the sperm mature and responsible for secondary male sex characteristics
body and facial hair,muscles and deep voice
Scrotum
is the sac suspended between the two thighs and this is where the testes are housed
is located outside of the body,the temperature is lower, which is a must for sperm production
epididymis
is where the sperm go after they develop in the seminiferous tubules.
tightly coiled tube that is approximately 20 feet long
job
store sperm while they mature and become motile
produces a fluid that becomes part of the semen and connects with the next tube
Vas Deferens
receives sperm and fluid from the epididymis, it goes up into the abdominal cavity and curves behind the bladder and join with the seminal vesicle
Job
passage way and a tempory storage area for sperm
also is the tube that gets cut in a vasectomy
Seminal vesicles
2 small pouch like tubes that have a glandular lining that produces a think yellow fluid rich in sugar that provides nutrients for the sperm,
this fluid is a large makeup of sperm
Ejaculatory ducts
2 short tubes that are formed from the union of the Vas Deferens and the seminal vesicles
Job
carry sperm and fluids known collectively as semen through the prostate gland and into the urethra
Prostate gland
a donut shaped gland that produces and alkaline secretion that increases the sperm matility and neuturalizes the acidity in the vagina
Cowpers glands
located under prostate
job
secrete a mucus that serves as a lubricant for intercourse and alkaline fluid which decreases the acidity of urine that resides in the urine
Urethra
carries both urine and semen
Penis
external male organ that is responsible for depositing semen in the vagina and the elimination of urine
Basics
Function to produce life
anatomic parts are different in males and females, they both have the same type of organs
organs

Ducts
accessory organs

the sex glands
testes and ovaries
Sexually transmitted diseases
AIDS

unable to fight off infection and diseases
leads and eventually causes death
spread through sexual screations and blood
from infected mothers to her infant during pregnancy or childbirth
to help prevent spreading
avoid multiple sex partners, dont share needles and use condoms and effective spermicide
signs and symptoms
positive blood test,lack of infection resistance, appetite and weight lose,recurrent fever,night sweats,skin rashes,diarrhea,fatigue and swollen lymph nodes
Chlamydia
most frequent occurring STD
caused by several strains of Chlamydia organisms
S/S
Females
Males
Diseases
orchitis
inflammation of the tests, usually caused by mumps,pathogens or injury
lead to atrophy of the testes and cause stertility
S/S
swelling of the scrotum,pain and fever
treatment
includes antibiotics,antipyretics,scrotal support and pain medications
prostatic hypertrophy
Common in men over 50
S/S
difficulty in starting to urinate,frequent urination,noctunria,dribbling,UTI and when the uretha is blocked
Female
