The Reproductive System
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
2
Introduction
• Reproduction: process by which genetic
material is passed from one generation to
the next
• Meiosis produces sex cells
– Sperm from male and egg from female join to
form zygote
– Zygote develops into embryo
– Embryo develops into fetus

hormones

•
Outpouching of abdominal wall
Supports the testes
Divided internally by a septum
Scrotal sac elevates and descends

The Testes
• Tunica albuginea: capsule covering with
lobules
• Convoluted seminiferous tubules
– Spermatogenesis
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
8
The Testes (cont’d.)
• Spermatogenesis
– Spermatogonia > primary spermatocytes >
secondary spermatocytes > spermatids >
spermatozoa
• Sertoli cells: supply sperm cells with
nutrients
• Interstitial cells of Leydig: produce
testosterone

The Anatomy of the Spermatozoa
• Three hundred million produced daily
• Anatomy
– Head: contains genetic material and
acrosome
• Acrosome has enzymes that aid sperm in
penetrating covering of ovum
– Middle piece: contains mitochondria
– Tail: propels sperm

12
The Functions of Testosterone
• Controls development, growth, and
maintenance of male sex organs
• Stimulates muscle buildup and bone
development
• Causes sperm maturation
• Causes thyroid cartilage enlargement
• Produces body hair patterns

13
The Ducts of the System
• Seminiferous tubules: transport sperm
cells
• Rete testis: network of ducts
• Ductus epididymis: site of sperm cell
maturation
• Epididymis located on posterior border of
testis
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
14
The Ducts of the System (cont’d.)
• Vas deferens: straightened portion of
epididymis
– Enclosed in spermatic duct
• Ejaculatory duct: ejects spermatozoa into
urethra
• Urethra: terminal duct
– Prostatic urethra, cavernous urethra, urethral
orifice

15
The Accessory Glands
• Seminal vesicles: produce viscous part of
semen
• Prostate gland: produces fluid part of
semen
• Bulbourethral glands: produce mucus

Semen
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Mixture of sperm cells and secretions
Provides energy to the sperm via fructose
Neutralizes acidity of vagina
Acts as a transport medium
Contains enzymes that activate sperm
Average volume is 2.5 to 6 mL
Seminalplasmin: destroys certain bacteria

17
The Penis
• Delivers spermatozoa to female
reproductive tract
• Glans penis: end of the shaft
• Prepuce: loose skin covering glans penis
– Circumcision: removal of prepuce
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
18
The Penis (cont’d.)
• Contains masses of spongy tissue with
sinuses
• Sinuses fill with blood resulting in erection
– Compress veins so blood is retained
– Help penis penetrate vagina
• During ejaculation, sphincter at base of
urinary bladder is closed

The Female Reproductive
System
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
22
Introduction
• Primary sex organs
– Ovaries
• Accessory organs
– Uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, external
genitalia
• Accessory glands: produce mucus
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
23
Introduction (cont’d.)

24
The Ovaries
• Held in position by ligaments
• Covered by germinal epithelium
• Tunica albuginea: cortex contains ovarian
follicles
• Ovarian follicles: eggs in various
developmental stages
• Primary follicle: contains oocyte
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
25
The Ovaries (cont’d.)
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
26
The Ovaries (cont’d.)
• Oogenesis
– Begins in developing female fetus (700,000
produced)
– Puberty: ovarian cycle begins
• Primary oocyte: first meiotic division
• Mature egg: second meiotic division
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
27
The Uterine or Fallopian Tubes
• Transport ova to the uterus
• Infundibulum: funnel-shaped end with
fimbriae
• Cilia sweep an ovum into uterine tube
• Egg moved by peristalsis toward uterus
• Fertilization occurs in upper third of tube
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
28
The Uterus
• Site of menstruation, egg implantation and
labor
• Pear shaped
• Uterine cavity: interior of the body
• Cervical canal: interior of the cervix
• Uterine wall: endometrium, myometrium,
perimetrium
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
29
The Menstrual Cycle
• Menstrual phase
– Endometrial lining shed along with blood and
mucus
– Ovarian follicles begin development
• Preovulatory or proliferative phase
– Secondary follicle matures into graafian
follicle
– Ovulation is rupturing of graafian follicle
© 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning
30
The Menstrual Cycle (cont’d.)
• Postovulatory or secretory phase
– Corpus luteum develops
• Secretes estrogen and progesterone
– If fertilization and implantation do not occur
• Corpus luteum degenerates and new cycle starts
– If fertilization and implantation occur
• Corpus luteum maintained for four months

characteristics
– Breast development, pubic hair, fat deposits,
widening of the pelvic bone
• Enlargement of:
– Uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, external
genitalia

42
Pregnancy and Embryonic
Development (cont’d.)
• Egg fertilization 12-24 hours after
ovulation
• Zygote: fertilized egg
• Moves down uterine tube into uterus
– Blastula
• Zygote embeds in endometrium, placenta
develops
