External Reproductive Organs

Internal Reproductive Organs

Scrotum

Penis

Testes

Pouch of skin

Houses Testes

Posterior to penis

Protects & helps regulate the temperature of the testes

Cylindrical organ that conveys both urine & semen

Located inside of scrotum

Ovoid Structure

Suspended by spermatic cord outside trunk

Epididymis

Ductus Deferens

Seminal Vesicle

Prostate Gland

Bulbourethral Gland

Tightly coiled tube connected to the testis

Site of sperm maturation

Conveys sperm cells to ductus

Muscular Tube leading from epididymis into body cavity

Unites with the seminal vesical duct

Chest-shaped structure

Sac-like structure attached to vas deferens

Secretes fluid

Small glands located inferior to prostate gland

Surrounds the urethra

Secretes a thin, milky fluid

Secrete mucus into urethra

Internal Accessory Reproductive Organs

Uterine Tubes

Uterus

Vagina

External Accessory Reproductive Organs

Labia Majora

Labia Minora

Clitoris

Fibromuscular tube that extends from uterus to outside

Conveys uterine secretions

Receives the penis during sexual intercourse

Lead from ovary to the uterus

Near ovaries

Normal site of fertilization

Hollow & Muscular Organ

Receives embryo from uterine tube

Small projection at anterior end of vulva

Between labia minora

Corresponds to penis

Contains columns of erectile tissue

Enclose & protect other external reproductive organs

Corresponds to scrotum of the male

Flattened & Longitudinal

Folds between labia majora

Forms a flood around the clitoris

Male

Sex Hormones

Hypothalamic Hormones

Pituitary Hormones

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone

Secreted by Hypothalamus

Triggers production of Gonadotropin from anterior pituitary gland

Luteinizing Hormone

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone

Promotes development of interstitial cells of testes

Stimulates sertoli cells of seminiferous tubules to respond to testosterone

Testosterone

Stimulates development of male reproductive organs

Responsible for male secondary sexual characteristics
