The Plumbing Sexual Anatomy and Disorders of Sexual Development
THE HORMONES Endocrine glands secrete their product into the system 1. Hypothalamus –structure in the brain that controls the pituitary gland 2. Pituitary—pea shaped gland, base of brain, master gland, stimulates all the other glands
Hormones Gonadotropins—sex hormones secreted by pituitary that stimulates the gonads to produce hormones. a) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) – released by pituitary, instructs the ovaries to prepare an egg to be released b) Lutenizing Hormone (LH)—stimulates ovulation c) Prolactin – pituitary hormone, stimulates production of milk from mammaries
Sex Hormones Estrogen—produced by ovaries *level in blood controls menstrual cycle* Progesterone—released by corpus lutuem to signal endometrium to develop in preparation for a zygote Androgens –“male” sex hormones
MENSTRUATION Menstrual phsiology -If zygote not implanted then no hormones to sustain corpus luteum, so it disintegrates. -With no progesterone being released menstruation is then signaled Phases of the menstrual cycle 1. Proliferative phase 2. Secretory/Luteal phase 3. Ovulatory phase 4. Menstrual phase

Breast Problems 1. The breasts a) Breast cancer b) Cysts c) Fibroidenoma non cancerous tumor d) Nipple discharge e) Breast abscess
The internal genitals 1. The urethra 2. The corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum – fill with blood, erection 3. The testis a) Vas deferens -- tube through which sperm is passed b) Seminiferous tubules – structures in the testicles that actually produce sperm c) Epididymis -- where sperm are stored and nourished
The pathway of sperm a) Seminal vesicles sacs that secrete nutrients to sperm b) Ampulla where sperm are provided with nutrients from the seminal vesicles c) Prostate gland structure that secretes fluid into semen before ejaculation. d) Cowper’s gland pre-ejaculate e)Ejaculation and orgasm expulsion of semen from penis and peak of sexual tension, sensory pleasure

Erection + Ejaculation • Most often, stimulation of an erection plays a big part in ejaculation • HOWEVER ejaculation can happen without an erection • Stimulation of the prostate is one way this can happen
Sperm • Mature sperm .0024 inches • Acrosome, head, neck, midpiece and tail • Adult male produces over 100 million sperm cells each day
Ejaculation • Muscle contractions • 300 million sperm expelled in a single ejac. • Valve to bladder closes to prevent passage of urine • A tablespoon of semen contains approximately six calories. Semen does contain protein, but it also contains all kinds of chemicals and minerals, including water, sugar, calcium, chlorine, magnesium, nitrogen, vitamin B12, and zinc. But it does not contain enough of any of these things to be considered "nutritious."
