Various organ systems
Male Reproductive System
Function
Produce, store, and ultimately introduce mature sperm into female
reproductive tract
Organs
Essential
Accessory
Essential Organs
Gonads: Testes
Function:
Spermatogenesis and
testosterone production
Seminiferous tubules:
sperm develop in walls
Interstitial cells: release
testosterone
Page 494
Spermatogenesis
Spermatogonium
Daughter Cell
1° spermatocyte
2° spermatocyte
Spermatid
Spermatozoa (Sperm)
Acrosome

Case Study
A friend of yours who has four children is considering a vasectomy, an
operation in which the ductus deferens are cut and tied off to prevent
the passage of sperm through the reproductive ducts, thus preventing
fertilization. However, your friend has concerns. He asks you, “Will
this completely stop the process of ejaculation?” How should you
reply?
Accessory Organs
Reproductive Ducts:
Epididymus
Ductus (Vas) Deferens
Ejaculatory Duct
Urethra
Page 494
Accessory Organs
Sex Glands
Seminal vesicles
Source of energy for motile sperm using fructose
Prostate gland
Helps activate sperm and maintain motility
Bulbourethral gland
Neutralize acidic urine residue
Lubricate urethra to prevent friction
Accessory Organs
External Genitalia
Penis
Corpus spongiosum
Corpora cavernosa
Glans
Scrotum
Sac containing testis,
epididymis, part of ductus
deferens and spermatic cords
Page 494
Hormone
Testosterone
Masculinization
Promote and maintain accessory organs
Protein anabolism
Female Reproductive System
Function
Produce ova, receive sperm, and permit fertilization
Organs
Essential
Gonads: Ovaries
Function: oogenesis and production of estrogen & progesterone
Accessory
Oogenesis
Ovarian follicles (containing
oocytes)
1° follicles
2° follicles
Graafian follicle (mature
follicle)
**After ovulation, follicle
becomes corpus luteum
Page 503
Accessory Organs
Reproductive Ducts &
Organs
Uterine tubes
Uterus
Vagina
Page 504
Case Study
A 30-year-old woman with normal menstrual periods has a total
hysterectomy. Would she still ovulate? Would she still have
menses?
Accessory Organs
Sex Glands
Bartholin’s glands
Lubricating fluid
Breast
Mammary glands
Accessory Organs
External Genitalia (Vulva)
Mons Pubis
Clitoris
Orifice of Urethra
Labia minora
Hymen
Orifice, duct of Bartholin’s
glands
Orifice of vagina
Labia Majora
Page 507
Hormones
Estrogen
Maturation of reproductive organs
Secondary sexual characteristics (ex. pubic hair)
Body Contours
Initiate menstrual cycle
Progesterone
Proliferation and vascularization of lining of uterus
Initiate menstrual cycle
Menstrual Cycle
Divided into (3) phases:
Menses:
shedding of uterine lining
Proliferative phase:
after menses until ovulation
High levels of estrogen
Secretory phase:
Ovulation to menses
High levels of progesterone
Page 508
Menstrual Cycle Regulation
Day 1 to 7, FSH secreted,
immature ovarian follicle
secretes estrogen
As estrogen increases, LH
increases, which matures the
ovum, marks ovulation, and
lutenization
Sharp, sudden decrease in
estrogen & progesterone
cause menstrual period
Page 509
Prenatal Period
Begins from time of
fertilization to time of
birth
Fertilization often occurs in
the outer one-third of the
oviduct
Zygote= fertilized ovum
Morula = 3 days after
fertilization
Blastocyst = once it has
reached the uterus
Implantation in 10 days
Page 523
Prenatal Period
Periods of Development
Embryonic phase: 3rd week of fertilization until the end of the 8th week
Fetal phase: 9th week to 39th week
Primary germ layers
Endoderm: inside
Lining of organs
Thyroid gland
Mesoderm: middle
Muscle
Bones
Circulatory system
Ectoderm: outer
Brain and spinal cord
Epidermis of skin
Page 529
Birth or Parturition
Stages of Labor
Stage 1 (6-24hrs)
Dilation of the cervix
Stage 2 (minutes to 1 hr)
Baby exits vagina
Stage 3 (15 minutes after delivery of baby)
Expulsion of placenta from vagina
Postnatal Period
Infancy
Birth to 18 months
Childhood
Infancy to sexual maturity
or puberty
Adolescence
Usually 13-19 years of age
Adulthood and Older
adulthood
Page 533
Effects of Aging
Skeletal System
Osteoarthritis
Integumentary System
Wrinkles
Urinary System
Incontinence
Respiratory System
Respiratory insufficiency
Cardiovascular system
atherosclerosis
Special Senses
Vision and hearing issues
