Reproductive System - Coggle Diagram
Reproductive System
Anatomy of Male Reproductive Structures
Scrotum
Holds and helps protect the testicles
Vas Deferens
Long muscular tube
Transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation of ejaculation
Penis
Used for intercourse and urination
Releases sperm and urine through the urethra
Seminal Vesicles
Makes fructose that provides sperm with energy which increases sperms motility
Testes (Gonads)
Produces sperm
2 of them
Maintain the health of the male reproductive system
Epididymis
Transports sperm from the rate testes to the vas deferent
Prostate
Secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm
Walnut-sized gland between the bladder and penis
Anatomy of Female Reproductive Structures
Uterus
Nourishes the developing fetus
Fertilized egg implants itself in the lining of the uterus
Vulva
Protect internal parts of Female Reproductive System
Ovaries
Produce eggs and hormones
Small-oval shaped glands
Vagina
A passage way for blood during the menstrual cycle
Receives and holds sperm until it can pass into the uterus
Provides a passageway for birth
Cervix
Controls the passage of sperm into the uterine cavity
Fallopian Tubes
Serve as pathways for the ova to travel from the ovaries to the uterus
Narrow tubes
Events of the Female Hormonal Cycle
Ovarian Cycle
Changes in the ovary where the follicle matures, ovum is shed, and the corpus luteum develop
Follicular Phase(Day 1-14)
Follicule grows and secretes Estrogen
Luteal Phase(Day 15-28)
period of Corpus luteum activity
Follicles expelling the oocyte causes Corpus Luteum to form
Uterine Cycle
Increase in endometrium in preparation for implantation and shedding of the lining due to the lack of fertilization
Menstrual Phase(Day 1-5)
Ovarian hormones are at its lowest levels
Proliferative Phase(Day 6-14)
Estrogen levels rise , new stratum is generate
Post-Ovulatory Phase(Day 15-28)
Uterus is preparing for pregnancy
Disorders Associated with Reproductive System
Bacterial STI's
Trichomoniasis
Sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite
Treatable
Gonorrhea
Sexually transmitted bacterial infection
Treatable
Syphilis
Bacterial infection usually spread by sexual contact
Starts as a painless sore that then develops in stages
Treatable
Chlamydia
Sexually transmitted infection-may experience genital pain, painful urination, or even no symptoms
Treatable
Viral STI's
Human Papillovirus
Infection spread by sexual contact that causes warts
Treatable, but can not be cured
Genital Herpes
Sexually transmitted infected marked by genital pain and sores
Treatable, but can not be cured
Major Functions of the Reproductive System
Female
Produces gametes
Devlops a fetus and gives birth
Secretes sex hormones (Estrogen and Progesterone)
Male
Produces and transports sperm
Secretes male hormones
Hormones of the Reproductive System
Males
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Stimulates the release of testosterones
Follicle-Stimulalting Hormone (FSH)
Stimulates the testes
Testerone
Regulates production of the rate of blood cells and sperm
Regulates bone and muscle mass
Controls sex drive
Females
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
sends signal to ovary to release eggs
Helps maintain and control the uterine cycle
Estrogen
Promotes the oogenesis and follicle growth
Maintains low blood cholesterol levels
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Helps control and maintain the menstrual cycle
Helps eggs grow properly in the ovaries
Progesterone
Works with Estrogen to regulate the uterine cycle
Changes in the cervical mucous
Gonadotropin (GnRH)
Causes the gland to release the GnRH
