  1. What is Your Health IQWhich Statements Are True or False? • Sperm are made in the vas deferens. • Both sperm & urine travel through a man’s urethra, although not at the same time. • Testicular cancer is most common among men who are over the age of 50. • Estrogen is the primary hormone in males. • Eggs are made in the ovaries. • The uterus is the organ in which a fetus develops. • A woman produces several eggs every month. • Fertilization of the egg usually occurs in the fallopian tubes. • By the end of the 6th month of pregnancy, all the baby’s major body structures are formed.

  3. The Male Reproductive System

  4. Objectives • State(What is) the role of the male reproductive system • Describe(What is) the function of each of the organs of the male reproductive system • Summarize(What are) the problems that can occur with the male reproductive system • List(What are) the things a male can do to keep his reproductive system healthy

  5. Key Vocabulary Words & Definitions • Sperm - the sex cell produced by the testes & needed to fertilize an egg • Egg (Ovum) - the sex cell produced by the ovaries & can be fertilized by sperm • Testes (Testicle) - male reproductive organ that makes sperm & testosterone

  6. Key Vocabulary Words & Definitions • Fertilization -the process by which a sperm & an egg w/their genetic material join to create a new human life • Reproduction – the process of producing a new human being

  7. Key Vocabulary Words & Definitions • Semen - a fluid made up of sperm & other secretions from the male reproductive organs • Ejaculation– the release of semen through the urethra

  8. The PenisThe Male Reproductive Organ That: • Removes urine from the body • Delivers sperm to the female reproductive organs • Is erect during ejaculation • Can ejaculate while sleepingcalled “wet dreams”

  9. Glans– the tip (head) of the penis; made up of nerve endings that make it extremely sensitive Shaft– the rest of the penis Circumcision– removal of the foreskin; often done for religious/cultural reasons Key Vocabulary Words & Definitions

  10. What Is Puberty & What Happens To The Body? • Begins between 12-14 years old • Hair growth (face, chest, arm pit, pubic) • Shoulders broaden • Voice deepens • Penis grows… Sometimes • Testicles produce sperm and testosterone • The sex drive begins…

  11. The male reproductive system works to produce sperm and deliver it to the female reproductive system. What Does The Male Reproductive System Do?

  12. The Path Of The Sperm

  13. Testes (testicles) Makes sperm (hundred million sperm/day) Makes testosterone (major sex hormone of male) Rests in the scrotum (keeps the sperm cooler than normal body temperature) How the Male Reproductive System WorksThe male reproductive system is made up of internal and external organs.

  14. Sperm travels from testes to the Epididymis where they finish their development; Sperm stays in the Epididymis for 6-10 days; The Path Of The SpermEpididymis

  15. From the Epididymis, sperm travels through the Vas Deferens waiting to be ejaculated; Sperm will live for up to 6 weeks before they disintegrate The Path Of The SpermVas Deferens

  16. Produces a thick secretion that helps sperm move easier Produced at the beginning of an orgasm as sperm is being released The Path Of The SpermSeminal Vesicles

  17. Secrets a thin, milky fluid that protects the sperm from acid in the female reproductive system Fluid is no longer sperm, now it is semen The Path Of The SpermProstate Gland

  18. Cowper’s Gland - Secrets a clear fluid that protects the sperm from acid in the male urethra Urethra - The canal through which urine and semen leaves the body. The Path Of The SpermThe Bulbourethral orCowper’s Gland & Urethra

  19. Problems of the Male Reproductive System

  20. 6 Ways To Keep Healthy • Wear appropriate protective gear when playing contact sports. • Avoid wearing tight clothing. • Wash the penis & scrotum every day, & dry yourself carefully after showering. • If you are not circumcised, wash underneath the foreskin. • Perform a monthly testicular self-exam. • Have an annual checkup w/a doctor.

  21. Preventing Problems • Watch for any changes or symptoms that might indicate a problem. • If any symptoms or problems are present, see the doctor right away.

  22. Preventing Jock Itch • A fungal infection in the groin area. • Physically active males in hot & humid locations are more likely to get jock itch. • Can usually prevent jock itch by wearing cotton clothing & by drying themselves thoroughly after a shower. • It is important to avoid wearing damp clothes for too long • Avoid sharing towels or clothes w/others.

  23. Preventing Trauma • Injuries due to an external force • Injuries can happen playing sports, from car or bicycle accidents, or during “horseplay”. • One way to reduce the risk of traumatic injuries to the testes is to wear protective gear when playing sports.

  24. Preventing Hernias • When a piece of the intestine bulges into a weak place in the wall of the abdomen or groin. • Caused by straining to lift or push something heavy. • Can occur when coughing or sneezing. • Doctors check for signs of a hernia by feeling for bulges in the groin while a male coughs. • Avoid strenuous lifting • Use your knees, not your back to when lifting heavy objects.

  25. Preventing Infertility • Inability to fertilize an egg • Infertility can be genetic • It can be caused by environmental conditions such as heat & trauma to the testes.

  26. Testicular Self-Exam • Each month, perform the self-exam during or after a warm bath or shower • Stand in front of the mirror, and hold the penis out of the way • Examine each testicle separately • Look and feel for any lumps or any change in the size, shape, or consistency of the testicle • Contact your doctor if you detect any troublesome signs

  27. Early Detection Of Prostate Cancer • Occurs mainly in older males • Regular exams can detect prostate cancer early. • Treatment is most effective when prostate cancer is detected early • Delaying doctor’s exams &/or treatment can be deadly.

  28. Section 2.1 Review

  29. Using Key Terms • Identify the key term for “the sex cell that is produced by the testes & that is needed to fertilize an egg. • Sperm • Define the term testes. • The male reproductive organ that makes sperm & testosterone.

  30. Understanding Key Ideas • What are the functions of the male reproductive system? • To produce & deliver sperm to the female reproductive system. • What are the functions of the penis? • Removes urine from the body & • Deliver sperm to the female reproductive system

  31. What is the path of the sperm through the male reproductive organs? • Testes • Epididymis • Vas Deferens • Seminal Vesicles • Prostate Gland • Bulbourethral (Cowper’s) Glands • Urethra • Penis

  32. Testicular Cancer Unusual lumps Enlargement or feeling of heaviness or fullness in the scrotum Inguinal Hernia Abnormal bulge in the abdomen or groin Sense of heaviness, pain, or fullness Compare The Symptoms Of Testicular Cancer W/Inguinal Hernia

  33. Wear protective gear when playing contact sports. Avoid wearing tight clothing. Wash the penis, underneath the foreskin & scrotum every day, Dry yourself carefully after showering. Perform a monthly testicular self-exam. Have an annual checkup. Look for changes or symptoms that might indicate a problem. If any symptoms or problems are present, see the doctor right away.

  34. Critical Thinking • Why do you think the male reproductive system produces so many sperm cells? • How might the male reproductive system be affected if the seminal vesicles did not function?
