Nicola Ricci period 6 anatomy Reproductive System
Major functions of the Reproductive system(male and female)
Female
uterus
Receive a fertilized egg
Retain the fertilized egg
Nourishes the fertilized egg
Uterine tube
Receive the ovulated oocyte
Provide a site for fertilization
Ovary
contains all the female egg cells
creates eggs through oogenesis
cervix
protrudes into the vagina
opening into the uterus
lumen of vagina
Receives the penis during
sexual intercourse
allows sperm into the cervix
labium
skin folds around the
vaginal opening
Labia majora – outer fold
Labia minora – inner fold
Male
epididymus
Functions to mature and store sperm
cells
Expels sperm with the contraction of
muscles of the epididymis
scrotum
layer of skin that covers
testis
epididymus
botttom of the vas deferens
regulates temperature of testes for sperm
viability
testis
produce sperm cells
spermatogenesis
vas deferens
carries sperm from the
epididymis to the
ejaculatory
duct
seminal vesicle
substances that nourish
and activate the sperm
vitamin C
fructose (sugar)
prostate
Secretes a milky fluid that
helps activate sperm
allows for locomotion
urethra
from the base of the urinary
bladder to the tip of the penis it carries
sperm
urine
Anatomy of male reproductive structures
scrotum
testis
epididymis
vas deferens
seminal vesicle
prostate, ejaculatory duct
Urethra
Anatomy of female reproductive structures
labium
lumen of the vagina
fornix
cervix
uterus
uterine tube
Ovary
Disorders associated withthe reproductive system(including STI’s)
Chlamydia
It can cause serious, permanent damage to a woman’s reproductive system.
impossible for her to get pregnant later on.
Gonorrhea
It can cause infections in the genitals, rectum, and throat
yellow discharge
green discharge
White discharge
Genital Herpes
caused by two types of viruses
type 2 (HSV-2).
type 1 (HSV-1)
Crabs/ Pubic Lice
parasitic insects found primarily in the pubic or genital area of humans.
Itching in the genital area, visible nits (lice eggs) or crawling lice
Syphilis
can cause serious health problems if it is not treated.
Syphilis is divided into stages
secondary
latent
primary
tertiary
Events of the female hormonal cycles (be sure to include all categories)
Ovarian cycle
follicular phase
Day 1-14
FSH causes follicular cells develop into primary follicle
Luteal Phase
Day 15-28
When follicle expels the oocyte, the empty
shell becomes Corpus Luteum
Ovulation
Day 14
Triggered by sudden spike increase in LH caused by steady increase in estrogen stimulating the pituitary gland
Uterine (Menstruation) cycle
Menstruation
Day 1-5
Decline of estrogen and progesterone
cause the spiral arteries to constrict, cells
Proliferative phase
Day 6-14
Estrogen stimulates growth of blood vessels of
the endometrium, causing it to double in thickness
Secretory phase
Day 15-28
In response to rising levels of progesterone by
the corpus luteum, the uterus becomes ready
Menopause
Usually between 45-55 years
Ovaries no longer responsive to hormones released by
anterior pituitary
Hormones of the reproductive system(male and female)
Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)
released by hypothalamus in the brain to
stimulate anterior pituitary gland to release LH
and FSH (same as males)
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
stimulates the development and maturation of
primary follicle into secondary follicle
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
spike of
hormone will trigger ovulation of the most mature follicle (only one)
Inhibin
decrease release of FSH by
anterior pituitary gland
