PerazaLeah-Reproductive System
Major functions of the Reproductive system(male and female)-
The female reproductive system has many cfunsctions, producing eggs that need to be fertalized.
The eggs have to be fertilized to make space to allow a baby develop.
The male reproductive system produces and makes sperm.
The male only has one main function.
Anatomy of male reproductive structures
The male reproductive structures has 5 main parts which include the penis, scrotum, testes, epididymis, vas deferens, prostate, and seminal vesicles.
The penis is attached to the lower abdominal structureand pelvic bone.
The scrotum is thick, surrounds and protects the testes.
The testes are a oval organ located in the scontum.
The testes are responsible for making testosterone and sperm.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone.
Anatomy of the female reproductive system
The external structures are labia majora, labia minora barthlonis gland, and the clitoris.
The labia majora protects and encloses the external reproductive organs.
The labia minora is located inside the labia majora and it surrounds the openings to the vagina.
The bartholin gland is located next to the vagina and produces a fluid called mucous.
The clitoris is where the two labia minora meet and is covered by a fold of skin which can become erect. Almost like the penis foreskin.
Hormones of the reproductive system(male and female)
The female reproductive hormones are gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) Follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH) and leutenizing hormone(LH).
All female reproductive hormones are produced in the brain.
oestrogen and progesterone is produced by the ovaries and the corpus luteum.
The hormones involved with the male reproductuve sustem consist of (FSH), (LH), anf testosterone.
Events of the female hormonal cycles
The events of the female hormonal cycle are follicular phase, ovulation, leutal phase, and ,menstruation.
During the menstruation cycle, the estrogen levels decrease and the progesterone levels increase.
During the luteal phase (LH) and (FSH) levels decrease.
The damaged follicle after releasing the ovum and forms a corpus luteum which then produces progesterone.
Disorders associated withthe reproductive system(including STI’s)-
HIV/Aids, interstitial cystitis, uterine fibrosis, and endometrosis.
These diseases involve the reproductive system, including reproductive tract infections, and cancers of the reproductive system.
Symptoms of disorders associated with the reproductive system are bleeding or spotting in between periods or itching and burning.
Symptoms can be pain in genital area during sex or discomfort.
