Anatomy of male reproductive structures
Anatomy of female reproductive structures
Major functions of the Reproductive system (male and female)
Hormones of the reproductive system (male and female)
Events of the female hormonal cycles (be sure to include all categories)
Methods and Classification of contraceptives
Disorders associated with the reproductive system (including STI’s)
The penis - is the male external sexual organ located superior to the scrotum and inferior to the umbilicus
The vas deferens - is a long tube made from fiber and muscle tissue. Its purpose is to transport sperm
The seminal vesicles - are two small glands that store and produce the majority of the fluid that makes up semen
Urethra - The tube through which urine leaves the body
Bulbourethral gland - paired glands that are partially embedded in the urogenital diaphragm muscle and are composed of compound tubuloalveolar glands
Testicle - One of two egg-shaped glands inside the scrotum that produce sperm and male hormones
Epididymis - A narrow, tightly-coiled tube that is attached to each of the testicles
The scrotum - is a male reproductive structure located under the penis
Prostate - a small, walnut-shaped organ
The ovaries - are small, oval-shaped glands located on either side of your uterus
Uterus - an inverted pear-shaped muscular organ of the female reproductive system, located between the bladder and the rectum
Urethra - The tube through which urine leaves the body
Vestibular bulb - structures formed from corpus spongiosum tissue
Hymen - is a small, thin piece of tissue at the opening of your vagina
Fornix - the anterior (front) and posterior (back) recesses into which the upper vagina is divided
Cervix - The lower, narrow end of the uterus (womb) that connects the uterus to the vagina (birth canal)
Vagina - provides a passageway for blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus to leave the body during a menstrual period
labium minus - two flaps of skin that are part of the primate vulva, extending outwards from the vaginal and urethral openings to encompass the vestibule
labium majus - enclose and protect the other external genital organs
Hormone levels in the blood
FSH
Estrogens
LH
Progesterone
Follicle development
Follicular phase
Dominant follicle
ovulation ( day 14 )
Corpus luteum
luteal phase
degenerating corpus lutetium
Uterine lining time ( days )
menstrual phase ( 2-4 days )
Proliferative phase ( 5-14 days )
Uterine phases ( 14 days )
Secretory phase ( 14-28 days )
To produce egg and sperm cells
To transport and sustain these cells
. To nurture the developing offspring
To produce hormones
For the female - The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone
These hormones are responsible for sexual development and preparing the uterine wall to nourish fertilized eggs during pregnancy.
For the male - Testosterone is indispensable for sperm production, however both testosterone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
are needed for optimal testicular development and maximal sperm production
