general functions of male repro system
|
maintain sperm cells, transport sperm to femal repro tract and secrete male sex hormones
|
|
|
function of testis
|
produce sperm
|
|
|
function of epididymis
|
store sperm
|
|
|
fx of vas deferens

|
|
|
fx corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum
|
erectile tissue
|
|
|
fx of testosterone
|
formation of male repro organs, causes testis to descend into scrotum, stimulates enlargment of testis, secondary male sex characteristics (puberty), increase the rate of cellular metabolism and production of RBC by stimulating the release of erythropoietin
|
|
|
secondary male sex characteristics
|
increase grorth of body hair, lowers pitch of voice,thickening of skin, muscle growth,thickening and strengthing of bones
|
|
|
general fx of female repro system
|
produce and maintain female sex cells, transport egg cells to fertilization, provide a favorable environment for a developing offspring, move offspring to outside, and produce female sex hormones
