Male Reproductive System Cowper's
Male Reproductive System First, sperm are produced in the small seminiferous tubules of the testes. These oval-shaped glands are protected by a sac called the scrotum. After sperm cells are produced, they are stored in a large coiled tube on the outer surface of each testicle called the epididymis. From this tube, the sperm go into a larger tube called the vasdeferens, which eventually carries them to the external male reproductive organ, the penis. Along the way, sperm is nourished by a sugary fluid from the seminalvesicle, a chemical fluid from the prostate which is the most common site of cancer in men, and fluid from the cowper’sglands which are two small glands located near the bladder.
These fluids plus the sperm cells combine to form semen, the fluid ejaculated from the penis during orgasm. Before a male can ejaculate, the spongy tissue surrounding the penis becomes engorged with blood causing the penis to become stiff and hard. This is known as an erection. The tube that carries the semen from the body is the urethra. This tube also carries urine from the bladder. Males can have uncontrolled ejaculation during sleep, which are called nocturnalemissions.
The Female Reproductive System First, eggcells are produced in two almond-shaped organs known as the ovaries. During the process of ovulation, a mature egg (ovum) is released and enters one of two fallopiantubes. For a few days the egg cell travels towards the pear-shaped uterus. The lining of this organ thickens in preparation for a fertilized egg. If the egg is not fertilized by the male spermcell, it will leave the body together with the lining of the uterus and a small amount of blood. This is called menstruation.
The lower portion of the uterus is called the cervix and is a common site of cancer in women. The female organ of intercourse is the vagina. A circular fold of skin is usually present at the entrance to this organ and is called the hymen. Outside of this organ are folds of skin covered with pubic hair known as the labia. Between these skin folds is a small, round, sensitive area of skin called the clitoris. The development of the reproductive system is triggered by the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which cause many physical changes in a girl. This period of change is called puberty.
Menstruation begins If the egg is not fertilized, the blood vessels in the wall of the uterus shrink and break down. Day 3-7 flow ends; FSH (from pituitary) stimulates an egg to develop Fertilization can occur If the egg is fertilized, it embeds itself in the wall of the uterus Estrogen (from ovaries) causes uterus lining to thicken (prepares for a fertilized egg) Ovulation (egg is released from ovary)
Contraceptives (Birth Control) • Choosing a birth control method is one of the most important decisions in your life. Some things to consider include: • How effective is it? • Does it protect against sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) • What are the risks and side-effects? • How much does it cost? • How often do you have to use it? • How convenient is it to obtain? • How comfortable are you touching your genitals? Every year in Canada, there are approximately 42 000 girls between 15-19 years old who get pregnant.
