system involved in sexual reproduction

reproductive system

male reproductive cell

sperm

protective fluid around sperm

semen

produce, maintain, and transport sperm and semen

reproductive system in men

produces and secretes male sex hormones (testosterone & androgen)

male reproductive system

2 male sex hormones

androgen


testosterone

produces sperm cells

testis

also known as testicles

testis

male gonad is called

testis

coiled threadlike tubules that make up the testis where sperms are produced

seminiferous tubules

sac of skin that holds testis

scrotum

deposits sperm into vagina when mating

penis

where the sperm cells are stored

epididymis

carries sperm from testes to urethra

vas deferens

carries sperm and urine out of the body

urethra

provide liquin in which sperm can swim

glands

4 male reproductive glands

seminal, prostate, bulbourethral, cowper's glands

secretes a fluid that makes up most of the component of the semen

seminal vesicle

secretes a slightly alkaline milky fluid that is discharged as part of the semen

prostate gland

secretes a thick and clean mucus that lubricates and neutralizes any trace of acidic urine in the urethra

bulbourethral gland `

pea sized gland

cowper's gland

produce thick and clear mucus prior to ejaculaton that drains into spongy urethra

cowper's gland

8 parts of male reproductive system

testes, scrotum, epididymis, seminiferous tubules, penis, vas deferens, urethra, glands

6 functions of female reproductive system

1. produces female egg cells


2. transports eggs to the site of fertilization


3. fertilization of egg by sperm in fallopian tubes


4. provides baby to develop


5. designed to mesntruate


6. produces female sex hormones (progesterone and estrogen)

produces egg cells

ovary

passageway from ovary to uterus

fallopian tube/oviduct

site for fertilization

fallopian/oviduct

site of egg implantation

uterus

where fertilized eggs develop

uterus

receives penis during mating

vagina

small, fingerlike projections connected to ovary

fimbriae

when does menstruation occur?

every month from between 10yrs old to 13 yra old first onset

menstruation continues for about

for about 40 years

the breakdown of uterus wall lining and its dischrarge through vagina with small amount of blood and cells

menstruation

first menstrual period is called

menarche

hormonal process that occur every month to prepare for a possible pregnancy

menstrual cycle

menstrual cycle is controlled by

progesterone, estrogen, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone

secretion of these hormones in menstrual cycle are controlled by

interacting positive and negative feedback loops

results of strong contractions of uterine wall

menstrual cramps

cramps can be caused by excessive secretions of

prostaglandins

group of lipids made at the site of tissue damage

prostaglandins

how many days is the normal menstrual cycle

28 days

4 phases of menstrual cycle

1. flow/menstrual phase


2. follicular phase


3. ovulation phase


4. luteal phase

the release of egg from ovary

ovulation

ovulation usually occurs approximately ___ days until next peiod

14 days

egg can survive _____ before it must be fertilized

24 hours

signs of oluvation

change in cervical mucous


rise in body temperature


abdominal pain

you are considered most fertile when

when mucous becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy

rise in body temp during ovulation is caused by

progesterone

tips to feel better during menstruation

do light exercise, hug a heating pad, drink water, eat good-for-you foods, avoid caffeine, sleep well

caffeine can give you what feeling

achy, crampy, bloated feeling

phase when endometrium is shed

flow/menstruation phase

body changes in response to stress?

dilated pupils, pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat

smallest gland, "third eye"

pineal gland

pituitary gland is located at

the brase of the brain

hyperfunction of pituitary

gigantism

hypofunction of pituitary

dwarfism

overproduction og growth hormone during adolescence

gigantism

abnormal enlargement of thyroid gland

goiter

under/overproduction of thyroid glands

goiter

symptoms of goiter

breathing & swallowing difficulty, hoarse voice, enlargement of thyroid

possible cause of osteoporosis

limbs of dogs and whales

ex. of analogous structure

bird & insect wings


octopus and human eyes


whales and bats' echolocation

estrogen and progesterone are low, but high fsh

menstrual phase

uterus sheds its lining

menstrual phase

also known as flow phase

menstrual phase

follicles grow and mature

follicular phase

secretes estrogen: endometrium thickens and stimulates LH

follicular phase

high levels of FSH

follicular

rapid release in LH

ovulation phase

follicle ruptures open

ovulation phase

starts when rising estrogen level signal the pituitary

ovulation phase

the egg can survive for abt ________ before it must be fertilized
