Reproductive System
hormones of the
reproductive system
Follicle Stimulating Hormone- in puberty stimulates maturation
Gonadotropin releasing hormone- Release both LH & FSH
Leutinizing Hormone- stimulates ovulation in females and synthesis of androgen in males
Events of the female hormonal cycles
Ovulation- triggered by sudden spike increase in LH caused by steady increase in estrogen stimulating the pituitary gland
Luteal Phase- when follicle expels the oocyte, the empty shell becomes corpus luteum
Fallicular Phase- extends from the beginning of menstruation until ovulation
Major functions of the
Reproductive system
Male
function to produce and disseminate large quantity of male gametes
Female
Functions in production of female gamete and preparation for support of developing embryo during pregnancy
Anatomy of male and female reproductive structures
Male
Testes- produce gametes and seme, secrete hormones
Vas Deferens- carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct
Scrotum- divided sac of skin outside that holds the semen
Seminal vesicle- produces thick, alkaline, yellowish secretion
Urethra- extends from the base of urinary bladder to the tip of the penis
Prostate- propel the seminal fluid into the urethra during ejaculation
Penis- tubular organ through which distal portion of urethral
Female
Fallopian tube- receive the ovulated oocyte
Uterus- function=receive a fertilized egg, retain the egg, nourishes egg
Ovaries- female gonad, paired, almond-shaped organ on either side of uterus
vagina- serves as birth canal
External genitalia (Vulva)- Labia, Vestibule, clitoris, morn pubis
Mammary Gland- responsible for milk production after birth by the hormone prolactin
Disorders of the reproductive system
Diseases
Prostate cancer - Cancer of the prostate gland
Breast cancer - Cancer of the mammary gland
Ovarian cancer - Cancer of the ovary
Penile cancer - Cancer of the penis
Uterine cancer - Cancer of the uterus
Testicular cancer - Cancer of the testicle
Pelvic inflammatory disease
