Heidi Ochoa Period 1: Reproductive system
Anatomy of female reproductive structures
Ovaries: female gonads, produce oocytes (eggs) Secrete estrogen and progesterone
Internal genitalia: Ovaries, duct system (tubes, uterus, and vagina)
External genitalia: external sex organs (labium
Major functions of the Reproductive system
Male and female share 4 similar tasks; The function is to bring gametes together to produce zygote.
They both form the hamate’s (sperm/egg)
2 bring sperm and egg together through intercourse
Combine genetic information through fertilization
Support develops fetus and birth of baby
Anatomy of male reproductive structures
Testes: produce sperm within the scrotum
Sperm is delivered through:
1.epidiymis
2.ductus deferents
3.ejaculatory duct
4.urethra
Accessory sex glands: Seminal glands, prostate, bulbo-urethral glands
Hormones of the reproductive system (male and female)
GnRH, Estrogen, progesteron, LH, FSH- plays a role in thickness of uterine lining
Male: testosterone- synthesized from cholesterol, transformed at some target cell
Events of the female hormonal cycles (be sure to include all categories)
Hormonal regulation of ovarian cycle:
GnRH from pituitary gland stimulates FSH and LH secretion
FSH and LH stimulate follicle growth
3.Negative feedback= gonadotropin release
positive feedback= gonadotropin release
Follicle development: Primadorial follicle
Primary Secondary
Early vesivular
Mature vesicular (oocytes completes meiosis II ready to be ovulated)
Follicle ruptures
Corpus luteum
Disorders associated with the reproductive system (including STI’s)
Chlamydia: Bacterial Newborns who contract get conjunctivitis and Respiratory tract inflammations
Trichomoniasis: Parasitic Infection common in women
Gonorrhea: Bacterial infection of mucosae of reproductive and urinary tracts ( asymptomatic)
Syphilis: Transmitted sexually/ congenitally ( Rash)
HPV: Cause of genital warts. Cervical cancer is linked to this
Genital Herpes : Caused by herpes. (Antiviral drugs)
Methods and Classification of contraceptives
Birth Control:
regulation of the number of offspring produced Avoids fertilization
Prevents implantation
Coitus Interruptus: withdrawal before ejaculation
Rhythm Method: abstinence from sexual intercourse around of ovulation
Mechanical Barriers: prevent sperm from entering vagina during sex. (condoms, cervical cap, and diaphragm)
Chemical Barriers: contain spermicides ( more effective when used with condom)
Combined Hormone Contraceptives: contains estrogens and progestins to prevent pregnancy (prevents follicle maturation and ovulation)
Injectable Contraceptive of progesterone derivative prevents follicle maturation and ovulation (works for 3 months)
Contraceptive Implants: Implantation of a rod containing progestin under the skin in the arm ( prevents follicle maturation and ovulation for 3 years)
Intrauterine Devices: objects implanted in the uterus are either toxic to sperm and egg cells or prevents implantation of embryo by inhibiting growth of endometrium thicken cervical mucus
Sterilization: surgical method of permanently preventing pregnancy
