hormones of the reproductive system;
Relaxin
Relaxin is a protein hormone of about 6000 Da first described in 1926 by Frederick Hisaw
Estradiol
Estradiol, also spelled oestradiol, is an estrogen steroid hormone and the major female sex hormone
Testosterone
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and anabolic steroid.
Gonadotropin
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone is a releasing hormone responsible for the release of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone from the anterior pituitary
Follicle-stimulating hormone
Follicle-stimulating hormone is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone
Events of the female hormonal cycles
Luteinizing hormone is a hormone produced by gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. In females, an acute rise of LH triggers ovulation and development of the corpus luteum.
Progesterone is an endogenous steroid and progestogen sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species.
The follicular phase, also known as the proliferative phase, is the phase of the estrous cycle during which follicles in the ovary mature. It ends with ovulation.
Estrogen, or oestrogen, is the primary female sex hormone. It is responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics.
Anatomy of male and female reproductive structures & their functions
The penis also contains a number of sensitive nerve endings.
The female reproductive system
The opening of the urethra, the tube that transports semen and urine, is at the tip of the glans penis
It produces the female egg cells necessary for reproduction, called the ova or oocytes.
The glans, which also is called the head of the penis, is covered with a loose layer of skin called foreskin.
. Conception, the fertilization of an egg by a sperm, normally occurs in the fallopian tubes.
To produce and secrete male sex hormones
The labia majora enclose and protect the other external reproductive organs.
To discharge sperm within the female reproductive tract
he two labia minora meet at the clitoris, a small, sensitive protrusion that is comparable to the penis in males
To produce, maintain and transport sperm (the male reproductive cells) and protective fluid (semen)
The male reproductive system
Major functions of the
Reproductive system
The primary reproductive organs, or gonads, consist of the ovaries and testes.. These organs are responsible for producing the egg and sperm cells gamete and hormones.
These hormones function in the maturation of the reproductive system, the development of sexual characteristics, and regulation of the normal physiology of the reproductive system.
These functions are divided between the primary and secondary, or accessory, reproductive organs.
To produce egg and sperm cells
To transport and sustain these cells
To nurture the developing offspring
To produce hormones
disorders of the
reproductive system.
Endometriosis.
often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges.
Uterine fibroids
Uterine fibroids are the most common noncancerous tumors in women of childbearing age
STD
STDs are infections that you can get from having sex with someone who has the infection
HIV/AIDS
HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV affects specific cells of the immune system
