Science 10 - Reproductive System

The document summarizes the male and female reproductive systems and hormones involved. It describes the key organs in each system like the testes, ovaries, and their functions. It also explains the roles of hormones like FSH, testosterone, estrogen and progesterone in regulating the male and female reproductive cycles and development of secondary sex characteristics. The pituitary gland secretes FSH and ICSH/LH which stimulate the testes and ovaries, while the gonads produce testosterone, estrogen and progesterone to control reproduction.

Science 10

01
The
reproductive
system
Objective:
• Explain the role of hormones involved in the female and
male reproductive systems
The Male Reproductive System
The Male Reproductive System

Scrotum
• Pouch of skin that hangs behind
the penis, houses the testes, and
protects the sperm keeping the
temperature of the testes slightly
lower than the normal body
temperature in order for the sperm
to survive.
The Male Reproductive System

Testes
• Made up of coiled tubules in
which sperm are produced in
which the sperm are produced.
• Produce the male sex hormones
called testosterone for the
production of sperm.
The Male Reproductive System

Epididymis
• Coiled J-shaped tube located on
the back of each testicle.
• Stores the sperm for two to four
days after they have been
produced.
The Male Reproductive System

Vas deferens
• Tube that receives sperm from the
epididymis of each testicle
The Male Reproductive System

Penis
• Soft, tubular organ that hangs in
front of the body and is the
external sexual organ of the male
through which sperm are delivered
into the female’s body.
• Contains erectile tissue that makes
the penis larger and stiffer due to
increase flow of blood during
ejaculation.
The Male Reproductive System

Urethra
• Tube that passes through the penis
to the outside of the body, which
carries urine and semen.
The Glands and Ducts of the Male Reproductive Organ

Vas deferens Urethra


• About 18 inches (45 cm) long • The valve within the urethra
and loops over the bladder prevents the mixing of urine
and sperm.

Seminal
Ejaculatory Ducts
Vesicles
• The two seminal vesicles at • The tubes that are lined with
the base of the bladder secrete muscles which contract to
a thick fluid that nourishes the force semen out of the body
sperm. during ejaculation.
The Sperm Cell
• Produced by the testes to fertilize the egg to become a matured ovum.
• Semen – mixture of sperm and the nutrient secretion from the
prostate gland and seminal vesicle.
The Female Reproductive System
The Female Reproductive System

Ovaries
• Small and almond-shaped organs
that secrete hormones called
estrogen and progesterone to
produce mature egg cells
• Ovulation – the ovaries
produce and release one
ripened egg every 28 days
The Female Reproductive System

Fallopian tubes
• Two very fine tubes that extend
from each ovary into the uterus.
• Contain the egg until fertilization
takes place and to provide a
passageway leading the sperm to
the egg and the fertilized egg to
the uterus
The Female Reproductive System

Uterus or Womb
• Hollow, muscular, pear-shaped
organ located between the two
ovaries.
• Location where the fertilized egg
develops and grows into a baby.
• Sheds if the egg remains
unfertilized then leaves the body
as menstrual discharge.
The Female Reproductive System

Cervix
• Narrow structure within an inch-
long canal connecting the lower
end of the uterus to the upper
portion of the vagina.
The Female Reproductive System

Vagina or Birth canal


• Hollow tube leading from the
cervix to the outside of the body.
• The wall is elastic, which allows it
to expand during childbirth and
sexual intercourse.
The Female Reproductive System

Vulva
• External genitalia that includes:
• Mons veneris/pubis
• Labia minora
• Labia majora
• Clitoris
• Vaginal orifice
The Egg Cell
02
The endocrine
system
The Endocrine System
• composed of glands that secrete different types of hormones

• essential in regulating growth and development,


metabolism, as well as reproductive processes, and mood
The Endocrine System
• Endocrine glands secrete chemicals known as hormones
into the bloodstream, which carries them throughout the
body.
• Hormones are chemical messengers, carrying instructions to cells
to change their activities.
The Endocrine System
• A gland is an organ in which cells secrete materials to be
brought to the different regions of the body, sometimes via
tube-like structures called ducts.
The Endocrine System
• Endocrine glands (endo mean “within,” krinein means
“separate,” i.e., to secrete)
The Pituitary Gland
• The pituitary gland is a part of
your endocrine system. Its main
function is to secrete hormones
into your bloodstream.
• The pituitary gland is sometimes
called the master gland because
it’s involved in so many
processes.

Reproductive Systems
Major Hormones Involved in the Female and Male
Reproductive Systems
The Role of Hormones in Male and Female Reproductive Systems

Male Reproductive System


Hormones of the pituitary gland
• follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
- seminiferous tubules of the testes become active and start
producing sperms

• interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH)


- stimulates a group of cells called the interstitial cell,
surrounding the seminiferous tubules to produce hormone
testosterone
The Role of Hormones in Male and Female Reproductive Systems

Female Reproductive System


Hormones of the pituitary gland
• follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
- controls the growth and release of
eggs from the ovaries
The Role of Hormones in Male and Female Reproductive Systems

Female Reproductive System


• Estrogen is the reproductive hormone in females that assists in
endometrial re-growth, ovulation, and calcium absorption; it is also
responsible for females' secondary sexual characteristics.

• Progesterone assists in endometrial re-growth and inhibition of


follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone release. While
other hormones prepare the uterus so a baby can grow in it, other
hormones still control the stretching of the uterus during pregnancy.
