The Reproductive System Victoria Sanchez Period 2
Major Functions of the Reproductive System
Females
6 main functions
A site for fertilization
Growing and gestating a fetus if grown
Secreting sex hormones ( estrogen )
Giving birth to baby
Producing female gametes ( eggs )
Breastfeeding
MOST COMPLEX SYSTEM
Males
3 main functions
Produce androgens ( testosterone )
Transport sperm into the female reproductive system
Produce gametes ( sperm )
Anatomy of Male Reproductive System
External Genitals
Testes
L : inside of the scrotum
F : making sperm
Scrotum
L : under the penis
F : maintains the sperms temperature
Penis
L : above the scrotum
F : urination and sexual intercourse
S : spongey tissues and blood vessels
Internal Genitals
Prostate
L : inferior to bladder, posterior to rectum
F : produces fluid that is apart of semen
Vas Deferens
L : continuation of the epididymis
F : carries sperm from the epididymis up the prostate to urethra
Urethra
F : excretes urine or other substances
Seminal Vesicles
L : posterior to bladder, anterior to rectum
F : involve din infertility
Anatomy of Female Reproductive System
Internal Organs
Uterus
S : round ligament
F : responsible for implantation, gestation, and labor
Fallopian Tubes
F : oocyte transport and fertilization
Vagina
F : passageway for menstrual cycle, gives birth, receives the penis
Ovaries
F : produces and stores our eggs and makes hormones
Hormones of the Reproductive System
Male
Female
Estrogen
responsible for developing female sex characteristics
Progesterone
prepares endometrium for potential pregnancy
makes the lining thicken for implantation
prohibits muscle contractions
3 main hormones
LH ( luteinizing )
stimulates the production of testosterone
Testosterone
stimulates the development of secondary sex characteristsics
facial/ chest hair
increased body hair
pelvic build
FSH ( follicle-stimulating )
stimulates spermatogenesis
Events of the Female Hormonal Cycles
The Uterine ( Menstrual ) Cycle
Proliferative ( preovulatory )
Rising estrogen levels
Thickening mucus
Days 6-14
Secretory ( postovulatory )
MOST CONSISTENT IN DURATION *
endometrium begins to thicken for possible implantation
Days 15-28
Menstral
ovarian hormones at LOWEST level
Gonadotropin levels RISE
Blood flow ( menstrual ) from 3 to 5 days
Days 1-5
The Ovarian Cycle
Ovulation
when ova releases from the body
the time for pregnancy to occur
if oocyte ( secondary ) is fertilized it results in twins
Luteal
ruptured follicle collapses, antrum fills with blood
if NO pregnancy occurs, corpus lute degenerates
Follicular
vesticular follicles become sensitive to FSH
FSH levels DROP
Disorders Associated with the Reproductive System
PID
T : sexually active before 25 years of age
S : pain in lower abdomen; unusual odor
D : an infection of a women reproductive organs caused often by other STDS
Treat : antibiotics
P : latex condoms
Chlamydia
S : burning while urinating ; swelling in testes
Treat : medication
T : having sex with infected
P : NO SEX
D : common STD that causes serious, permanent damage to reproductive system
HIV/AIDS
T : through any type of sexual intercourse with an infected
S : rapid weight loss; pnuemonia
D : immunodeficiency or acquired disease that interfere with the body's ability
Treat : NONE
P : NO SEX
Methods and Classification of Contraceptives
Mechanical
a physical barrier between sperm and egg
Internal condom
Creates a barrier for women
Used typically=79% Used perfectly = 95 %
Chemical
somethingt that may cause inactivation
Injections prevent pregnancy by injecting synthetics
Used typically = 96 % Used perfectly = 99.8%
Injectables
Behavioral
ways that alter behavior changes
Monitors fertility signs or use of condoms
Fertility awareness
Used typically= 76-98% Used perfectly=95-99.5%
Withdrawl
When penis is removed from vagina before ejaculation
Used typically = 80 % Used perfectly 90 %
Surgical
permanent solution
Operation to permanently resist pregnancy
99.5 % effective
Female/Male sterilization
