  5. Male Reproductive System Internal Structures • Prostate: exocrine gland of male reproductive system • Vas Deferens: tubes connecting epididymis to ejaculatory ducts • Epididymis: organ where sperm matures • Testicles: organ where sperm is created • Meiosis- creation of sex cells (gametes) • Urethra: tube that connects bladder to outside of body

  9. Female Reproductive System Internal Structures • Vagina: tract from uterus to exterior • Hymen: mucous membrane around vaginal opening • Cervix: lower, narrow portion of uterus • Uterus: pear-shaped organ containing growing fetus • Fallopian Tubes: pathway for egg travel during ovulation • Fimbriae: Fringes located at ends of fallopian tubes • Ovaries: egg-producing organs • Meiosis

  10. Female Disorders and Conditions • Progressive infection—gets worse over time • Affects fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix or ovaries • Can lead to long term reproductive problems • Symptoms include: foul-smelling discharge, heavier than normal periods, painful urination Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

  14. Menstrual Cycle • Menstrual (Uterine) Cycle • Cyclic changes of the endometrium • Regulated by cyclic production of estrogens and progesterone • Stages of the menstrual cycle • Menses – functional layer of the endometrium is sloughed • Proliferative stage – regeneration of functional layer • Secretory stage – endometrium increases in size and readies for implantation
