Reproductive System Period 3 Leslie Cuenca - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Labia majora "large lips": Enclose and protects the other external reproductive organs, During puberty hair grows on the skin of the Labia majora.
        
        Labia minora "small lips": Lie inside the Labia majora, and surrounds the opening to the vagina and urethra, skin can be easily irritated and swollen
        
        Bartholin's glands: Located next to the vaginal opening on each side and produces a mucus fluid secretion
        
        Clitoris: The two labia minora meet at the clitoris which is a small and sensitive protrusion. The clitoris is covered by a fold of skin "the prepuce" (similar to foreskin) and can become erect like a penis
    - - Vagina: A canal that joints the cervix to the outside of the body
        
        Uterus "whom": A hollow pear-shaped organ that is home to developing the fetus. It is divided into two parts, the corpus and the cervix
        
        Ovaries: Small oval-shaped glands that are located on either side of the uterus and produces eggs and hormones
        
        Fallopian tubes: Narrow tubes that are attached to the upper part of uterus and serves the pathogens for the ova (egg cell) in order to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Fertilization of an egg can normally occur in the fallopian tubes and the fertilized egg travels to the uterus where then its implanted in the uterine lining
        
        Uterine lining is a thin layer of the uterus and is normally shed in response to hormonal change of the menstrual cycle
        
        The corpus can easily expend in order a developing baby
- - - - Interstitial Cystitis: Interstitial cystitis is an ongoing bladder condition bringing about repeating distress or torment in the bladder or encompassing pelvic district. Individuals with IC generally have excited or disturbed bladder dividers that can cause scarring and hardening of the bladder. IC can influence anybody; notwithstanding, it is more normal in ladies than men.
- - - - Penis (3 parts): the root, the body/shaft, and the glands
        
        The root: The part of the penis that attaches to the wall of the abdomen
        
        The body/shaft: Tube or cylinder like shape. The body of the penis is made up of 3 internal chambers. Inside these chambers there is a sponge like erectile tissue which contains thousands of large spaces filled with blood when sexually aroused.
        
        The glands: A cone shaped end of the penis, the gland is also called the head of the penis. The penis is cover with a loose layer of skin called foreskin.
    - - Testicles (testes): Are oval organs that lie in the scrotum and are secured by either end of the spermatic cord. The testes are responsible for making testosterone, primary sex hormone, and sperm
        
        Spermatic cord: the cord-like structure in males formed by the vas deferens and surrounding tissue that runs from the deep inguinal ring down to each testicle. Its serosal covering, the tunica vaginalis, is an extension of the peritoneum that passes through the transversalis fascia.
        
        Spermatogenesis : is the origin and development of the sperm cells within the male reproductive organs, the testes. Sperm cells are produced within the testes in structures called seminiferous tubules.
        
        Epididymis: A long coiled tube that rests on the backside of each testicle. It carries and stores sperm. Its also the job to bring the sperm to maturity, the sperm that emerges from the testes are immature and incapable of fertilization .
      - Main external structure: The root, body or shaft, glans, scrotum, testicles (testes), and epididymis
    - - Vas deferens: Is a long muscular tube that travels from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity and it also transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation
        
        Ejaculatory ducts: These ducts are formed by the fusion of the vas deferens and the seminal vesicles and the ejaculatory ducts are emptied into the urethra
        
        Urethra: A tube that carries the urine from the bladder to outside of the body. When the penis is erect during sex, the flow of the urine is blocked from the urethra which allows only semen
        
        Seminal vesicles: Sac-like pouches that attachs to the vas deferens near the base of the bladder. It also makes a sugar-rich fluid (fructose) and makes up most of the volume of ejaculatory fluid
        
        Prostate gland: A walnut-sized structure located below the urinary bladder in front of the rectum. Contributes additional fluid to the ejaculate and also helps nourish the sperm
        
        Bulbourethral glands: Pea-sized structures located on the sides of the urethra, below the prostate gland. These glands produce a clear, slippery fluid that empties directly into the urethra and serves to lubricate the urethra
- - - - Ovulation : ovulation is the arrival of a develop egg from the outside of the ovary. During the follicular stage, the creating follicle causes an ascent in the degree of estrogen. The nerve center in the mind perceives these rising levels and deliveries a compound called gonadotrophin-delivering chemical .
        
        Luteal phase: During ovulation, the egg erupts from its follicle, however the cracked follicle stays on the outside of the ovary. For the following fourteen days or thereabouts, the follicle changes into a construction known as the corpus luteum. On the off chance that a treated egg inserts in the covering of the uterus, it delivers the chemicals that are important to keep up the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum continues to create the raised degrees of progesterone that are expected to keep up the thickened coating of the uterus.
- - - - Helps develop and maintain both the reproductive system and female characteristics like breast and pubic hair
    - - an endogenous steroid and progestogen sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species.
  - - - regulates fertility, muscle mass, fat distribution, and red blood cell production.
