Reproductive System
Female Reproductive System
Male Reproductive System
Accessory glands
External genitalia
Resproductive system structures
Epididymis
Spermatic cord
Testes
Ejaculatory duct
Seminiferous tubules
Interstitial cells
create sperm under direction of gonadotropin (Follicle stimulating hormone)
Secrete testasterone under the influence of luteinizing hormone
Testasterone maintains male characteristics and sex organs
Serm becomes able to propel themselves
Sperm becomes able to fertilize an egg
Sperm matures
testicular artery (venous plexus)
draws heat away to keep testes cooler than body temperature
Runs within the prostate, empties into prostatic urethra
Prostate gland
Bulbourethral glands
Seminal vesicles
increase sperm motility
decreases immune response in the female
adds nutrients to the sperm
clots, then liquifies semen deposited in vagina
nutrients
clots, then liquifies semen deposited in vagina
before ejaculation secretes alkaline mucus
alkaline mucus neutralizes acidic urethra
Scrotum
Penis
keep the testes cooler
vascular tissue
connective tissue
smooth muscle
engorgement of spongy tissues
has two cavernosum
Uterus
Vagina
Uterine tubes
External genitalia
Ovaries
Maturation of Oocyte under influence of follicle stimulating hormone
Secrete estrogen and progesterone
Passageway for ovum, sperm (usually meet in ampulla)
Ovum has peristalis and cilia to help movement
Myomerium
Endometrium
Perimetrium
Peritoneum
serous membrane
Muscle
Contracts during child birth
Functional layer (shed each month)
Basal layer
Replacing and tegenerating the formation of the new functional layer
rugae-highly distensible
receives penis and semen during intercourse
Labia minora
clitoris
Labia majora
Mammary glands
Mons pubis
fat pad (goes around symphysis pubis
Fatty fold of skin
inner fold of skin
corpora cavernosa
modified sweat glands
milk
