Reproductive System p.2 Celine Cercado
Major functions of the Reproductive system (male and female)
Male
delivers sperm to female
Testes produce sperm and hormones
Primary organ
Intenral & external reproductive organs
accessory organs
Penis
urine & semen to outside of body
inserted into vagina during sex
glans penis is richly supplied with sensory nerve endings associated with feelings of pleasure during sex
Female
houses & nourishes developing embryo & fetus
produce and maintains sex cells
transports cells to site of fertilization
Ovaries
produces oocytes & female sex hormones
Uterus
Produces & sustains embryo during pregnancy
primary sex organs
Vagina
Uterine secretions to outside body; receives erect penis during sexual intercourse; provides passageway for offspring during birth process
External and internal reproductive organs
Secondary sex ogans
Only system not needed to survive
production of offspring
Anatomy of male reproductive structures
Testes
250 lobules separated by connective tissues
holds 1-4 coiled seminiferous tubules
Semiferous tubules
stratified epithelium
contains spermatogenic cells that give rise to sperm cells
sperm cells
head contains haploid nucleus & acrosome
Acrosome digestive enzymes that erode tissue surrounding female's egg cell
Midpiece contains mitochondria
body
Flagellum provided lashing movements to propel the sperm through fluids, toward egg
tail
Anatomy of female reproductive structures
Ovary
soild, ovoid structures located in the lateral wall of pelvic cavity
medulla made up of connective tissue, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, & nerves
cortex contains follicles & covered by cuboidal epithelium
Uterine tubes
near ovaries
expands to form infundibulum with finger like fimbriae on its margins
Uterus
hollow and muscular organ
upper 2/3 has dome-shaped top
Fundus
lower 1/3 is cervix
endometrium
inner wall
myometrium
muscular/ middle wall
Perimetrium
outer wall
Vagina
parrtially covered by hymen
consists of 3 layers
Labia minora
flattened, longitudinal folds between labia majora
Clitoris
small projection at anterior end of vulva,k between labia minora
contains columns of erectile tissue
Vestibule
space enclosed by labia minora into which vagina & urethra open
Hormones of the reproductive system (male and female)
Male
Hormonal control
develop & maintains secondary sexual characteristics
Pituitary Hormones
GnRH secreted by hypothalamus
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone
triggers production of gonadotropins from anterior pituitary gland
LH
Luteinizing hormone
promotes development of interstitial cells of testes
secreted male hormones
FSH
Follicle-stimulating hormone
stimulates sertoli cells of seminiferous tubules to respond to testosterone
Sex hormones
Androgen
male sex hormone; testosterone most important
testosterone
stimulates development of male organs
Female
Estrogen
responsible for female secondary sexual characteristics breast development, sex organs, enlargement, increased adipose tissue depostition, & increased vascularization of skin
Progesterone
triggers uterine changes during menstrual cycle.
Androgens
produce changes at puberty; growth of pubic, & axillary hair.
Events of the female hormonal cycles (be sure to include all categories)
Ovarian Cycle
start of puberty, occytes stimulate to continue meiosis
meiosis results in occytes having half the number of chromosomes as other body cells
Primary oocyte undergoes meiosis I, divides unequally, giving rise to large, haploid secondary oocyte & tiny first polar body
Fertilization occurs, second, unequal cytoplasmic division, gives rise to large egg cell & tiny second polar body
End of meiosis II, chromosomes of sperm & ovum combine, resulting in formation of zygote
Menstrual cycle
monthly changes in uterine lining leads to menstrual flow as endometrium shed.
Menache: occurs when reproductive organs have matured & begin responding to female hormones.
GnRH secretion from hypothalamus causes secretion of FSH & LH from anterior pituitary
FSH stimulates maturation of follicle in ovaries
estrogen increases during 1st week to thicken endometrium of uterus
Follicle matures fully, about day 14 of cycle ready for ovulation
ovulation triggered by mid-cycle surge in LH; secondary oocyte & follicle fluid are released from ovary
Disorders associated with the reproductive system (including STI’s)
AIDS
caused by HIV and can be transmitted by sexual intercourse
HIV is found in semen
results in destruction of body's immune defenses infections & cancers can be fatal
Fever, rash, chills, muscle aches, mouth ulcers
Treatment: antiviral therapy
Antirevorial medicine and not having sex
Pelvic inflammatory disease
PID
one possible complication of STIs gonorrhea & chlamydia
May lead to infection & sterility in females
Uterine tube scarring may cause infertility
pain to lower abdominal, fever, bleeding between periods
Syphilis
STI that can cause health problem if is not trend
directed contract with syphilis sore
direct contact during vaginal , anal,or oral sex
sores, rashes or mucous membrane lesions, headache and paralysis
treatment: antibiotics
Prevention: latex condoms, monogamous relationship, and no sex
Trichomoniasis
common STD that's caused by infection with protozoan parasites called trichomonas vaginalis
passed by during sex, penis to vagina, vagina to penis, or vagina to vagina
no sign or symptoms, men: itchy in penis or burning after urination. Women: itching, burning, thin discharge with unusual smell.
Chlamydia
STD that can infect men & women
Sex with someone who has it
Vaginal, anal, or oral sex
Abnormal discharge, burning when urination, rectal pain, discharge, and bleeding
Medication
Prevention: testing before sex and condoms

Having sexual relationship with someone with virus
Vaginal, anal, or oral sex
no signs/ symptoms
Treatment: no treatment for virus
Prevention: vaccination and latex condom
