What I Need to Know
Hello! Welcome to another learning opportunity. Are you ready to learn
something new? If you are, let us start the learning journey.
Have you noticed several changes in your body during the stage called
puberty? Your height and weight increase. Physical changes in your body become
visible. If you compare yourself when you were younger and now that you enter
puberty, there is a big difference. You know why? It is because your reproductive
system starts to develop and is responsible for all the body changes you experience.
Later, you will know that reproductive system is also responsible in reproducing
another human being and reproducing your own offspring, too.
This module is divided into two lessons: Lesson 1 – The Male Reproductive
System and Lesson 2 – The Female Reproductive System. In this module, you will
describe the parts of the reproductive system and their functions (S5LT-IIa-1).
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. identify and describe the parts of the male reproductive system
and their functions; and
2. identify and describe the parts of the female reproductive system
and their functions.
Before you start reading and answering the different learning tasks in this
module, answer the questions below. This will test your prior knowledge about the
male reproductive system. Follow the given instructions. Enjoy answering!

What’s In
In the previous module, you have learned the importance of recycling as a
way to manage solid wastes either at home or in school. To remember everything
you have learned about recycling, can you sing the song below? After singing,
answer the guide questions that follow.
The Recycling Song
By: Christina Chilcote
(Tune: twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)
We will help keep our Earth green
We will help keep our Earth clean.
Paper, plastic, cans of tin,
Toss them in the recycling bin.
Plastic bottles, newspaper too
Recycling’s good for the Earth and you.
Questions:
a. What are the solid waste materials the than can be recycled
as identified in the song? Aside from these, what other
materials do you know that can be recycled?
b. Why is recycling good for the Earth?
Recycling is a process of making something new from something that has
been used before. Through this, solid waste materials found in your locality can be
made into useful products like flower vase or pots, pencil holder, bags, etc.

STATEMENT
1. The male reproductive system is made up of testis,
penis, prostate gland, Cowper’s glands, and cervix.
2. The urethra serves as the passageway of both
semen and urine.
3. The testis produces the sperm.
4. Prostate gland deposits sperm into the vagina.
5. Vas deferens is also called as the sperm duct.
TRUE/FALSE
What is It
The male reproductive system is made up of the testis, scrotum, penis,
urethra, epididymis, vas deferens, prostate gland, Cowper’s gland, and seminal
vesicle. If your answers in Activity 1.2 are exactly the same, then you are correct.
How many correct answers did you get? Very good!

Figure 1. The Male Reproductive System
Examine the diagram of the male reproductive system. Figure 1 shows the
main parts of the male reproductive system.

The testis (testes in plural) consists of many highly coiled tubes or ducts
surrounded by several layers of connective tissues, found inside the scrotal sac or
scrotum. It produces sperm cells and secretes the male sex hormones, androgen
and testosterone.
The scrotum is also called as the scrotal sac. It is an external structure
with temperature slightly lower than that of the rest of the body. It is important
because it holds the testis. Aside from that, it keeps the temperature of the testis
slightly lower than that of the rest of the body.
The penis, on the other hand, is composed of spongy erectile tissues. Its
head is covered by a foreskin, which can be removed through circumcision. Its
function is to deposit sperm into the vagina.
Urethra is also a part of the male reproductive system. It is a duct that runs
through the length of the penis and opens to the outside. It serves as the
passageway for both sperm and urine.
The epididymis is a long, narrow, flattened, highly coiled cumulated ducts
lying on the edge of the posterior border of the testes. It stores mature sperm. It is
also a site where the sperm cells gain the ability to move which is necessary for
fertilization.
The vas deferens or also known as sperm duct is a short muscular duct. It
is a passageway of fluid that neutralizes to the urethra. It also stores sperm.
The prostate gland consists of muscular and glandular tissues that lie
around the base of the bladder. This thumb-sized gland secretes a fluid that
neutralizes the acidity of the vagina to ensure the survival of the sperm. It also aids
in sperm motility.
Meanwhile, the Cowper’s gland is a pair of pea-sized gland along the
urethra and below the prostate gland. It secretes a fluid that may serve as lubricant
and urine neutralizer.
The seminal vesicle is a pair of gland found between the bladder and the
rectum. It secretes a fluid that contains fructose which is an energy source for
sperm.

6. The vas deferens is called as the sperm duct. It stores sperm. It is a
passageway of fluid that neutralizes to the urethra.
7. There are glands found in the male reproductive system. These include the
prostate gland and the Cowper’s gland. The prostate gland is as big as a
thumb. It secretes a fluid that neutralizes the acidity of the vagina. It also
aids in sperm motility. The Cowper’s gland, on the other hand, is found
along the urethra and below the prostate gland. It secretes a fluid that may
serve as lubricant and urine neutralizer.
8. The seminal vesicle is found between the bladder and the rectum. It
secretes a fluid that contains fructose.

Try to discover as you go through the next part of this module. Are you ready to
discover the parts of the female reproductive system? Good luck!
What is It
If you listed down ovary, fallopian tube, cervix, vagina, and uterus, then
you are correct. The female reproductive system has these 5 main parts. Do you
want to know more about these main parts? Read about the parts of the female
reproductive system and their functions below.
fallopian tube
ovary
uterus
cervix
vagina
Figure 2. The Female Reproductive System
Examine the diagram of the female reproductive system. Figure 1 shows the
main parts of the female reproductive system.
The female reproductive system produces the egg or ovum and hormones
like estrogen and progesterone and receives sperm from the male. It is made up of
the ovary, fallopian tube, cervix, vagina, and uterus.
The ovary (ovaries in plural) is a small, flattened, elongated organ on both
sides of the uterus. It produces the female sex cells called eggs or ova. In addition,
it also secretes the female hormones called estrogen and progesterone.
16
Fallopian tube or also called as oviduct is a pair of ducts leading from the
ovaries to the uterus. It is where the ova travel from the ovary to the uterus. It is
also the site of fertilization.
The cervix is the neck of the uterus that opens to the vagina. It is the
passageway for menstrual flow as well as for the sperm.
Like the cervix, the vagina is also a passageway for menstrual flow and the
baby to the outside. It is found between the anus and the urethra. This thin-walled
part is also a passageway through which sperm can enter and swim to the fallopian
tube.
The uterus or the womb is a hollow muscular organ located at the lower
abdomen. It is the place where the fertilized egg develops. It is also the site of egg
implantation.

Always remember the key concepts and ideas about the female reproductive
system:
1. The female reproductive system is made up of the ovary, fallopian tube,
cervix, vagina, and uterus.
2. The ovary is an organ found on both sides of the uterus. It produces eggs or
ova, the female sex cells. It also secretes the female hormones called
estrogen and progesterone.
3. The site of fertilization is the fallopian tube or the oviduct.
4. The cervix is the neck of the of the uterus that opens to the vagina. It is the
passageway for menstrual flow as well as for the sperm.
5. The vagina is also a passageway for menstrual flow and the baby to the
outside. It is found between the anus and the urethra.
6. The uterus or the womb is the place where the fertilized egg gains
