Male Reproductive System What is a vasectomy? vas deferens (sperm duct) epididymis testis
Testes • For production of male gametes (sperms) • For production of male sex hormones
Epididymis • For temporarily storage of sperms • During copulation, muscles of epididymis contract to release sperms
Testis and epididymis epididymis vas deferens (sperm duct) sperm tubules
Male Reproductive System seminal vesicle secrete seminal fluid prostate gland Cowper’s gland
Functions of Seminal Fluid • To provide a medium for the sperms to swim • To activate and nourish the sperms • To neutralize the acidity in the female reproductive tract Seminal Fluid Semen Sperm +
Male Reproductive System urethra penis
Female Reproductive System oviduct ovary uterus cervix vagina
Functions of Ovary • For production of female gametes (ova/eggs) and production of female sex hormones
Oviduct • Carries the ovum forward by • the beating action of the cilia on its inner surface • the contraction of muscles of oviduct Cick here
Menstrual Cycle • Once in about 28 days • The uterine lining becomes thickened 14 days after ovulation to prepare for the fertilized ovum to implant in it
Video on change in uterine lining Menstrual Cycle • Day 6 - 14 • Lining becomes thicker with increased blood supply • Day 14 : ovulation • Day 14 - 28 • Lining remains thick to ready for implantation of fertilized ovum • Day 28 • No implantation of fertilization ovum • Uterine lining breaks down; menstruation starts • Day 1 - 5 • Menstruation starts • Uterine lining decreases in thickness to a minimum
Hormones HormoneMaleFemale • GnRH FSH/LH release from Ant. Pit • FSH Spermatogenesis Follicle growth • LH Testosterone Secretion Follicle release estrogen • Estrogen 2nd sex characteristics Long Bone growth General anabolic effects Female sex drive Skin Hydration- Increase HDL
Hormones • Progesterone: prepares uterus for pregnancy • Testosterone: suppress LH and GnRH male 2nd characteristics Stimulate growth spurt increase bone and muscle growth libido and aggressiveness
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin • promotes the maintenance of the corpus luteum during the beginning of pregnancy • Progesterone secretion- maintains uterus • Maybe morning sickness • Can also be used clinically to induce ovualtion • Can be found in blood and urine • Pregnancy test • Diet Use
