Male Reproductive System
Seminal Vesicles- are sacUreter- this channel is part of
urinary tract that transport urine from the
bladder and the part of reproductive
system through which semen is
ejaculated.
Bladder- a muscular sac that
stores urine from the kidneys.
Prostate Glandthe prostates primary function is to
produce the the fluid that
nourishes and transports sperm.
(seminal fluid)
like poucjes that attach to the vas deferens
near the base of the bladder. The seminal
vesicle make a sugar-rich fluid (fructose)
that provides sperm with source of energy
and helps with the sperms ability to move
Vas Deferenstransports mature sperm to the
urethra,he tube that carries urine
or sperm to outside of the body, in
preparation for ejaculation.
Urethra- a narrow
fibromuscular tube that conducts
urine and semen from the bladder
and ejaculatory ducts,
respectively, to the exterior of the
body
Scrotum- the bag of skin that and
Testicle- are responsible for making
protect the testicle
testosterone, the primary male sec
hormone, and for producing sperm
Female Reproductive System
Cervix- The cervix is the lower
portion of the uterus, an organ of
the female reproductive tract. . It
connects the vagina with the main body
of the uterus, acting as a gateway
between them.
Fallopian Tube- are the
female structures that transport the ova
from the ovary to the uterus each month.
In the presence of sperm and fertilization,
the Fallopian tubes transport the fertilized
egg to the uterus for implantation.
Uterus- organ that receives the
Ovary-produce, store, and
release eggs into the fallopian tubes in
the process called ovulation
fertilized egg and supports its
development during pregnancy.
Vagina- a canal that joins the
cervix (the lower part of uterus) to the
outside of the body. It also is known as
the birth canal.
Give the functions of the following below:
1. Testosterone- is a hormone produced by the human body. It's mainly
produced in men by the testicles. Testosterone affects a man's appearance
and sexual development. It stimulates sperm production as well as a man's sex drive.
It also helps build muscle and bone mass.
2. Estrogen- to regulating the menstrual cycle, estrogen affects the reproductive tract,
the urinary tract, the heart and blood vessels, bones, breasts, skin, hair, mucous membranes,
pelvic muscles, and the brain.
3. Progesterone- Progesterone prepares the endometrium for the potential of pregnancy
after ovulation. It triggers the lining to thicken to accept a fertilized egg. It also prohibits
the muscle contractions in the uterus that would cause the body to reject an egg.
Medication and naturally occurring steroid hormone. It is a progestogen and is used in
combination with estrogens mainly in hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms
and low sex hormone levels in women.
4. FSH- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein
polypeptide hormone. FSH is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells
of the anterior pituitary gland, and regulates the development, growth, pubertal
maturation, and reproductive processes of the body.
5. LH- LH is made by your pituitary gland, a small gland located underneath the brain.
LH plays an important role in sexual development and functioning. In women, LH helps
control the menstrual cycle. It also triggers the release of an egg from the ovary.
This is known as ovulation.
6. Menstrual Cycle- The menstrual cycle is the regular natural change that occurs
in the female reproductive system that makes pregnancy possible. The cycle is
required for the production of oocytes, and for the preparation of the uterus for
pregnancy. The menstrual cycle occurs due to the rise and fall of estrogen.
