Reproductive System, Soto, Lizbeth period 1 - Coggle Diagram
Reproductive System, Soto, Lizbeth period 1
Anatomy of female reproductive structures
Ovary: Where the egg is produced
Fallopian tube: Where the ova is transported to the uterus
Cervix: Where the sperm can get through the uterine cavity
Vagina: is the birth canal where the baby exits.
Uterus: When egg is matured, the egg is planted in the uterus to maintain the baby
Endometrium: The inner layer of uterine cavity where it becomes thick and renews itself for pregnancy
Myometrium: The middle layer where it helps induce uterine contractions
Anatomy of male reproductive structures
Testes produces sperm and stored at the end of tail until ejaculation
Seminal gland is made up of smooth muscles that will contract during ejaculation and 70% of semen
Prostate secretes milky acid fluid that play a role in sperm that enters prostatic urethra during ejaculation
Urethra transport urine and sperm at different times
Major functions of the Reproductive system(male and female)
Female
Ova are eggs that are only in females
Sex hormones include estrogen and progesterone help the female body before menstruation cycle
Uterus is where the egg is fertilized and stores the baby for nine months until born
Male
Sperm is produced in the testes of a male
Ducts carry sperm to the body exterior
Sex hormones include testosterone help the males regulate their sexual development
Bacterial & Parasitic Disorders associated with the reproductive system(including STI’s)
Chlamydia: Can be contacted from birth and only 20% of women/ 10% of men have symptoms. Can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and pneumonia. Treatment: Antibiotics
Trichomoniasis: Parasitic infection more common in women where many don't have symptoms and can be treated easily. 30% have yellow-green vaginal discharge.
Gonorrhea: Bacteria infection of mucosae which are caused by Neisseria gonorrhea. If not treated, it can result in pelvic inflammatory disease and sterility. Treatment: 2 antibiotics, but strains are becoming prevalent.
Male symptoms: urethritis, painful urination, discharge of pus from penis
Female symptoms: abdominal discomfort, vaginal discharge or abdominal uterine bleeding and maybe urethral symptoms
Syphilis: Bacteria infection can be transmitted sexually. Babies that are infected are stillborn or die shortly after birth. Infection invades mucosae or broken skin. Can be asymptotic then painless. Untreated then secondary signs like pink skin rash, or joint pain.
Events of the female hormonal cycles
Menstrual phase: The mature egg heads to uterus for pregnancy.
Follicular phase: Where the egg matures and ends at the time of ovulation.
Ovulation: The mature egg is released to see if pregnancy can occur
Luteal phase: After ovulation where body prepares for possible pregnancy
Hormones of the reproductive system(male and female)
Female
GnRH stimulates FSH and LH secretion
FSH and LH then trigger follicle to mature to secrete sex hormones.
Gonadotropin release due to negative feedback and positive feedback
Ovulation happens due to LH surging.
LH and FSH release because of negative feedback
Male
FSH and LH releases gonadotropin from anterior pituitary
GnRH is released by hypothalamus to reach pituitary cells
Testosterone, estrogen and progesterone are target tissues in body
Sends negative feedback on hypothalamus and pituitary
Viral Sexually Transmitted Disorders associated with the reproductive system(including STI’s)
Human Papillomavirus (HPV): 50% of adults are infected in lifetime which is cause by genital warts. 80% cervical cancer are linked to strains of HPV. Vaccination can guard common cancers which is recommended for boys and girls before sexually active.
Genital Herpes: Are viruses where 15% displays signs of infection. Can also be passed on to fetuses. Can be treated by antiviral drugs can reduce duration.
