  1. Reproductive System By: Rufus Terry and Antonio Jones

  2. What Is the Reproductive System? • The Reproductive System is one of the many systems of the human body and of all living organisms that enables us to sustain life on planet earth.

  3. Functions of the Reproductive System • Has the necessary organs capable of accomplishing reproduction, the creation of new individual • Manufacture hormones necessary for the development of the reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics • The female produces the sex hormone Progesterone and Estrogen • The Male produces Testosterone

  4. Male Reproductive Anatomy

  5. Female Reproductive Anatomy

  6. Disorders of the Reproductive System • Although the reproductive system is one of the most unique systems of the human body, it also is one of the most fatal systems of the body. So lets find out how it is one of the most fatal systems of the human body.

  7. Aids/Hiv

  8. The Photo you just witnessed was a patient who contracted the disease Aids. Aids (Acquired Immune deficiency syndrome), a disease in which there is a severe loss of the body’s cellular immunity, greatly lowering the resistance to infection.

  9. Female Disorders • Amenorrhea is a term used to define absence of the menstrual cycle. • Premenstrual Syndrome is a group of systems which are exhibited just prior to the menstrual cycle, caused by water retention in the body tissue. • Salpingitis is an inflammation of the fallopian tubes which may result in permanent damage.

  10. Male Disorders • Epididymitis is a painful swelling in the groin and the scrotum due to infection of the epididymis. This is treated with antibiotic therapy. • Orchitis is an inflammation of the testes. • Prostatitis is an infection of the prostate gland.

  11. Fetal Devlopment At 4 weeks from conception, a baby's eye, ear, and respiratory systems begin to form. •     Thumb sucking has been documented at 7 weeks from conception. •     At 8 weeks from conception, a baby's heartbeat can be detected by ultrasonic stethoscope. •     By 9 weeks from conception, a baby is able to bend her fingers around an object in her hand. •     By 11 to 12 weeks from conception, the baby is breathing fluid steadily and continues to do so until birth. •     By 11 weeks from conception, a baby can swallow. •     Between 13 and 15 weeks from conception, a baby's taste buds are present and functioning. •     At 20 weeks, and perhaps as early as 16 weeks from conception, a baby is capable of hearing his mother's heartbeat and external noises like music. •     At 23 weeks from conception, babies have been shown to demonstrate rapid eye movements (REM), which are characteristic of active dream states. •      At six months from conception, a baby's oil and sweat glands are functioning. •       At seven months from conception, a baby frequently "exercises" in preparation for birth by stretching and kicking. •       At eight months from conception, a baby's skin begins to thicken, and swallows a gallon of amniotic fluid each day and often hiccups. •    During the ninth month from conception, a baby gains half a pound per week. Of the 45 generations of cell divisions before adulthood, 41 have already taken place.

  12. Fetal development • Once the woman is in labor she will start developing contractions and will soon have a special surprise…………………

  13. Not really, just kidding……..
