  1. Sex Education Mr. Darling

  2. Male Reproduction • Puberty – the stage of growth and development when the body becomes capable of producing offspring • Male’s pituitary gland increases it production of LH, hormone that travels through bloodstream to testes, causing it to secrete Testosterone • Testosterone – hormone that produces male secondary sex characteristics • Physical and emotional changes that occur during puberty (ages 12-15)

  3. Male Reproductive System

  4. Male Reproductive System • Consists of organs in the male body that are involved in producing offspring • External Organs: • Penis: Male sex organ used for reproduction and urination • Scrotum: A sac-like pouch that holds the testes and helps regulate their temperature • Hangs lower then the body so sperm can be produced • Testes: Male reproductive glands that produce sperm cells and testosterone • Sperm: Male reproductive cells

  5. Male Reproduction System • Internal Male Reproductive Organs: • Testes • Seminiferous Tubules • Epididymis • Vas Deferens • Seminal Vesicles • Ejaculatory Duct • Prostate Gland • Cowper’s Glands • Urethra

  6. Sperm Production • Seminiferous Tubules – network of coiled tubules in which sperm are produced • Spermatogenesis – Process by which sperm are produced • After sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules, they move to the epididymis • Epididymis – comma-shaped structure along the upper rear surface of the testes where sperm mature • Some sperm are stored here • Most move to the vas deferens after they mature

  7. Male Reproduction System • Vas Deferens – two long, thin tubes that act as a passageway for sperm and a place for sperm storage • Extend from the epididymis and the scrotum up into the abdomen • The walls are lines with cilia, which help transport sperm when the walls are contracting • Form part of the ejaculatory duct with the seminal vesicles

  8. Male Reproduction • Seminal Vesicles – 2 small glands that secrete a fluid rich in sugar that nourishes sperm and helps them move • Ejaculatory Duct – short, straight tube that passes into the prostate gland and opens into the urethra • Urethra – serves as a passageway for sperm and urine to leave the body

  9. Male Reproduction • Prostate Gland – a gland that produces a fluid that helps keep sperm alive • Located beneath the bladder and surrounds the urethra • Necessary for fertilization to keep sperm alive • Cowper’s Glands – located beneath the prostate gland • Two small glands that secrete a clear, lubrication fluid into the urethra

  10. Male Reproduction • Erection – process that occurs when the penis swells with blood and elongates • may be accompanied by an ejaculation • Ejaculation – the passage of semen from the penis and is a result of a series of muscular contractions • Semen – the fluid that contains the sperm and fluids from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and Cowper’s glands

  11. Male Reproductive Health • Circumcision – the surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis • Foreskin – skin covering the end of the penis • Usually performed on the second day after birth • May reduce the risk of urinary infections and cancer of the penis • Smegma – substance that forms under the foreskin consisting of dead skin and other fluids

  12. Inguinal Hernia • The testes pass from the abdomen into the scrotum through the inguinal canal during he 7th month of pregnancy, which then closes • Inguinal hernia – a hernia in which some of the intestine pushes through the inguinal canal into the scrotum • Can be painful; can be repaired surgically

  13. Male Reproductive Health • Rectal Examination – rectum an internal reproductive organs are examined for irregularities • Recommended for males over 40 regularly • Testicular Examination – screening procedure for testicular cancer • High rate of cure if detected early • Should begin at early age

  14. Female Reproductive System • Consists of organs in the female body that are involved in producing offspring • External Female Reproductive Organs:Vulva • Mons Veneris • Labia Majora • Labia Minora • Clitoris • Hymen

  15. Female Reproduction • Mons Veneris – the fatty tissue that covers the front of the pubic bone and serves as protection for internal reproductive organs • Labia Majora – heavy folds of skin that surround the opening of the vagina

  16. External Female Reproductive Organs • Labia Minora – Two smaller folds of skin located within the labia majora • The clitoris and the opening of the urethra and the vagina are located within the labia minora • Clitoris – small, highly sensitive structure located above the opening of the urethra • Richly supplied with blood vessels and nerve endings • Hymen – A thin membrane that stretches across the opening of the vagina

  17. Internal Female Reproductive Organs • Ovaries • Fallopian Tubes • Uterus • Vagina

  18. Internal Female Reproductive Organs • Ovaries – female reproductive glands that produce ova and estrogen • Females born with between 200,000 and 400,000 immature ova in the ovaries – about 375 of these ova will mature and be released in a female’s lifetime • Ova begin to develop during puberty (each contained in follicle) • Ovum matured and released every month from its follicle during the menstrual cycle • Ovulation – the release of a mature ovum from one of the ovaries

  19. Internal Female Reproductive Organs • When an ovum is released from an ovary, it enters one of the fallopian tubes • Fallopian Tube – a tube four inches long that connects an ovary to the uterus • Females have 2 fallopian tubes: one connected to each ovary • A mature ovum moves through a fallopian tube to the uterus during the menstrual cycle • Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes • An ovum that is not fertilized disintegrates in the uterus or leaves the body during menstrual flow • Uterus – muscular organ that receives and supports the fertilized egg during pregnancy and contracts during childbirth to help with delivery

  20. Internal Female Reproductive Organs • Cervix – the lowest part of the uterus and connects the uterus to the vagina • Vagina – Muscular tube that connects the uterus to the outside of the body • The Vagina serves as: • The female organ for sexual intercourse • The birth canal • The passageway for the menstrual flow

  21. Female Reproductive Health • Pap Smear- Yearly examination of the cervix by an OB-GYN (starting at age 18 or the start of sexual intercourse) • Gardasil- Vaccine that may help guard against diseases that are caused by HPV, which include cervical cancer, cervical abnormalities and genital warts. (3 injections over 6 months) • Mammograms- x-rays of the breast tissue to detect pre-cancerous or cancerous cells (yearly starting at 40; Self-examinations monthly after a woman’s period.)
