The Reproductive System Leah Portuguez Period 1
Disorders of the Reproductive System
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
: infection of any of the female reproductive organs including the uterus and ovaries also to regulate gonorrhea and chlamydia
Cervical Cancer
: malignant tumor in the most lower part of the uterus
Ovarian Cancer
: cancer that female produces eggs
Sexual Transmitted Diseases
: HIV/AIDs
Vaginal Yeast Infection
: yeast fungus in the vagina
Endometriosis:
condition that is located in the uterus
Prostate Cancer
: cancer located in the prostate
Prostatitis
: involves swelling or inflammation of the prostate glands
Formation of Gametes
Next, 2 step division process produces four daughter cells that are haploid
Female and male gametes unite in a process called fertilization, and it forms a zygote
Formed by a type of cell division called meiosis
Zygote is a diploid and contains two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent
Major Functions of the Reproduction System
Production, nurturing and transporting of ova and sperm
Sex organs within an organism which work together for the purpose of sexual reproduction
Secretion of hormones
Produces sperm cells needed to make a human- includes the scrotum, testes, and penis
To discharge sperm within the female reproductive tract during sex
Anatomy of the Female and Male Reproduction System
Male
consists of testes and the penis; Epididymsis, Vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, urethra, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethra glands
Penis and Urethra both play a role in the urinary and reproductive systems
Female
Consists: clitoris, labia minora, labia majora, and bartholin's glands
the vagina and uterus act as a receptacle for semen
Female organs are complex due to the attaches as the vagina attaches to the uterus the cervix and the Fallopian tubes connect the uterus to the ovaries.
Events of the Female Hormonal Cycle
Proliferative Phase (Days 6-14)
: Endometrium proliferates (increase in glands and blood vessels) in response to increasing levels of estrogen. Also higher estrogen causes cervical mucus to become thinnger for easier passage of sperm into uterus
Secretory Phase (Days 15-28)
: influence of estrogen and progesterone from corpus luteum and prepares for implantation of the embryo: glands in the endometrium maintenance leads to menstruation.
Menstrual Cycle (Days 1-5)
: occurs because estrogen + proestrogen are low because corpus luteum regressed to corpus albicans and stopped secreting hormones
Hormones of the Reproductive System and Their Regulation
Hypothalamus monitors the need for FSH and LH hormones constructed by anterior pituitary
LH stimulate Stertoli cells and interstitial cells of Leydig in the testes to facilitate sperm production and promotes secondary sexual characteristics
Male and Female reproductive cycles are controlled by hormones released from the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary
Leydig cells produce testosterone
Menopause occurs: ovaries lose their sensitivity to FSH and LH and the female reproductive cycles slow to a stop
Testosterone assist sperm production and promotes secondary characteristics
FSH and LH cause estrogen and progesterone to be produced and also regulate the female reproductive system which is divided into the ovarian cycle
