Reproduction System
Major Functions of the Reproductive System
Testis- produces sperm and testosterones
Epididymis- matures and stores sperm
Sperm duct- Carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra
Urethra- Allows the passage of either urine or sperm
Penis- Places sperm inside the body of the female
Scrotum- keeps testes at a lower temperature
Anatomy of female and male Reproductive System & their functions
production of female gamete and preparation of support of developing embryo during pregnancy
Ovaries- primary female sex organ
Ductus System- delivery of female gamete
Ovaries is female's gonad
Support for Ovaries: Suspensory ligaments secures ovary to lateral walls of pelvis. Ovarian ligament attach ovary to uterus. Broad ligament encloses suspensory ligament
Oogenesis= process of producing ova/ovum (egg cells)
Disorders of the Reproductive System
Infertility- inability of a person, animal or plant to reproduce by naturals means.
Hydrocele- accumulation of serous fluids in a body cavity. It is often caused by fluids secreted from a remnant piece of peritoneum wrapped around the testicle, called the tunica vaginalis.
Endometrial cancer- is it the result of abnormal growth of cells that have the ability invade or spread to other parts of the body
Erectile Dysfunction- is a type of sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual activity
Events of the female hormonal cycle
Ovarian cycle- occurs in the ovaries leading to maturation and ovulation of the mature oocyte
Uterine (Menstruation) cycle- occurs in the uterus to prepare the uterus for implantation of the fertilized ovum
Made of the menstrual phase, proliferative phase, and secretory phase
Hormones of the Reproductive System
Male Sex Hormones
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)- stimulates seminiferous tubules to secrete testosterone
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)- sperm production and maturation, & inhibin.
Both FSH & LH- released by anterior pituitary gland in the brain
Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)- released by hypothalamus in the brain to stimulate anterior pituitary gland to release LH and FSH
