Reproductive System a.bustanji A. BUSTANJI
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Functions: • Produce sperm; • Deliver sperm to female repro. tract; • Produce androgens (male sex hormones). A. BUSTANJI
Components of Male reproductive organs • Scrotum • Testes • Duct system • Penis • Accessory glands A. BUSTANJI
● SCROTUM: -a pouch of skin that encloses the testes for protection and temperature regulation A. BUSTANJI
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM ● TESTES -develop in abdomen; descend into scrotum before birth; -made up of tightly coiled tubes (SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES) where sperm are formed; -scattered between tubules are the LEYDIG CELLS (produce testosterone and other androgens). A. BUSTANJI
(Leydig cells) TESTIS A. BUSTANJI
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM ● EPIDIDYMIS -6 meters of tubes; sperm cells are here for approx. 20 days; -location where sperm become motile, gain ability to fertilize. A. BUSTANJI
Seminiferous tubules • Spermatogenic cells • Spermatogenesis begins at puberty • ~400 million sperm/day A. BUSTANJI
SEMEN ● consists of: sperm cells and secretions from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands *typical semen production = 2-5 mL; *semen first coagulates; then thins & sperm begin to swim through the female reproductive tract… A. BUSTANJI
Spermiogenesis • Spermatid spermatozoan • Head • Nucleus • Acrosome (lysosome) • Midpiece • Base of tail • Mitochondria • Tail • Long flagellum A. BUSTANJI
Spermiogenesis • Spermatid spermatozoan A. BUSTANJI
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM ● PENIS -Cylinders of erectile tissue (when filled with blood, penis becomes erect); -head of penis = glans penis; has thinner covering; is covered by foreskin. A. BUSTANJI
Penis • Thin skin • Spongy urethra • Erectile bodies • Corpus spongiosum • 2 corpora cavernosa • Capsule • Vascular spaces A. BUSTANJI
Erection • Sexual excitement (parasympathetic) • blood flow to erectile bodies • Squeezes veins shut • blood pressure in erectile bodies A. BUSTANJI
Ejaculation • Sympathetic activation • Peristaltic contraction of smooth muscles in ducts and glands - ejaculation • Constriction of arteries • blood pressure in erectile bodies A. BUSTANJI
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM ● VAS DEFERENS (muscular tube) ● EJACULATORY DUCT ● URETHRA -tube that drains both repro. & excretory products A. BUSTANJI
Urethra • Shared with urinary system • Prostatic urethra • Membranous urethra • Spongy (penile) urethra A. BUSTANJI
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM There are 3 sets of accessory glands (add secretions to semen): 1) SEMINAL VESICLES (2): ● produce 60% of semen volume/fluid; ● fluid contains mucus, fructose sugar (energy!), coagulating enzyme, prostaglandins. A. BUSTANJI
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Accessory glands (continued): 2)PROSTATE GLAND: ● secretes thin, milky, slightly alkaline fluid; ● fluid helps to balance the pH environment of the vagina. A. BUSTANJI
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Accessory glands (continued): 3) BULBOUREHTRAL GLANDS (2): ● secrete viscous mucus PRIOR to ejaculation ● fluid neutralizes any acidic urine in the urethra; ●carries some sperm; ● a.k.a. Cowper’s glands. A. BUSTANJI
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM - Anatomy A. BUSTANJI
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Functions: • Produce egg cells; • Produce female hormones; • Nurture & protect developing fetus. A. BUSTANJI
External Female Structures Collectively, the external female reproductive organs are called the Vulva. • Mons Pubis. • Labia Majora & Minora. • Clitoris. • Vestibule. • Perineum A. BUSTANJI
Mons Pubis Is rounded, soft fullness of subcutaneous fatty tissue, prominence over the symphysis pubis that forms the anterior border of the external reproductive organs. It is covered with varying amounts of pubic hair. A. BUSTANJI
Labia Majora & Minora • The labia Majora are two rounded, fleshy folds of tissue that extended from the mons pubis to the perineum. • It is protect the labia minora, urinary meatus and vaginal introitus. A. BUSTANJI
Labia Minora • It is located between the labia majora, are narrow. • The lateral and anterior aspects are usually pigmented. • The inner surfaces are similar to vaginal mucosa, pink and mois. • Their rich vascularity. A. BUSTANJI
Clitoris. • The term clitoris comes from a Greek word meaning key. • Erectile organ. • It’s rich vascular, highly sensitive to temperature, touch, and pressure sensation A. BUSTANJI
Internal Female Structures • Vagina • Uterus • Fallopian tubes • Ovaries A. BUSTANJI
Fallopian tubes • The two tubes extended from the cornu of the uterus to the ovary. • It runs in the upper free border of the broad ligament. • Length 8 to 14 cm average 10 cm • Its divided into 4 parts. A. BUSTANJI
Fallopian tube1. Interstitial part • Which runs into uterine cavity, passes through the myometrium between the fundus and body of the uterus. About 1-2cm in length. A. BUSTANJI
Fallopian tube 2. Isthmus • Which is the narrow part of the tube adjacent to the uterus. • Straight and cord like , about 2 – 3 cm in length. A. BUSTANJI
Fallopian tube 3. Ampulla • Which is the wider part about 5 cm in length. • Fertilization occurs in the ampulla. A. BUSTANJI
4. Infundibulum • It is funnel or trumpet shaped. • Fimbriae are fingerlike processes, one of these is longer than the other and adherent to the ovary. • The fimbriae become swollen almost erectile at ovulation. A. BUSTANJI
Functions • Gamete transport (ovum pickup, ovum transport, sperm transport). • Final maturation of gamete post ovulate oocyte maturation, sperm capicitation. • Fluid environment for early embryonic development. • Transport of fertilized and unfertilized ovum to the uterus A. BUSTANJI
Ovaries • Oval solid structure, 1.5 cm in thickness, 2.5 cm in width and 3.5 cm in length respectively. Each weights about 4–8 gm. • Ovary is located on each side of the uterus, below and behind the uterine tubes A. BUSTANJI
Structure of the ovaries • Cortex • Medulla • Hilum A. BUSTANJI
Ovaries and Relationship to Uterine Tube and Uterus A. BUSTANJI Figure 28–14
Function of the ovary • Secrete estrogen & progesterone. • Production of ova(eggs) A. BUSTANJI
Uterus • The uterus is a hollow, pear shaped muscular organ. • The uterus measures about 7.5 X 5 X 2.5 cm and weight about 50 – 60 gm. A. BUSTANJI
Its normal position is anteverted (rotated forward and slightly antiflexed (flexed forward) • The uterus divided into three parts A. BUSTANJI
1. Body of the uterus • The upper part is the corpus, or body of the uterus • The fundus is the part of the body or corpus above the area where the fallopian tubes enter the uterus. • Length about 5 cm. A. BUSTANJI
2. Isthmus • A narrower transition zone. • Is between the corpus of the uterus and cervix. • During late pregnancy, the isthmus elongates and is known as the lower uterine segment. A. BUSTANJI
3. Cervix • The lowermost position of the uterus “neck”. • The length of the cervix is about 2.5 t0 3 cm. A. BUSTANJI
Layers of the uterus • Perimetrium. • Myometrium. • Endometrium. A. BUSTANJI
1. Perimetrium • Is the outer peritoneal layer of serous membrane that covers most of the uterus. A. BUSTANJI
2. Myometrium • Is the middle layer of thick muscle. • Most of the muscle fibers are concentrated in the upper uterus, and their number diminishes progressively toward the cervix. A. BUSTANJI
