Reproductive Changes of Ageing: System

The reproductive system produces gametes and facilitates reproduction through sexual intercourse. In middle and old age, the reproductive systems undergo changes including a decline in fertility and fluctuations in sex hormone production, triggering anatomical and physiological changes. Common changes for males include decreased testosterone, circulation, sperm count, and erectile abilities.

REPRODUCTIVE

CHANGES OF AGEING
The reproductive system of an organism, also known as the genital
system, is the biological system made up of all the
anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction. Many non-living
substances such as fluids, hormones, and pheromones are also important
accessories to the reproductive system.

• Throughout the fertile years, the male and female reproductive
organs (testes and ovaries) produce gametes (sperm and ova) which,
through sexual intercourse, may fuse to form an embryo. The
production of gametes is orchestrated by a cascade of hormones and
growth factors, many of which have complex effects on the body.

• In middle and old age, the reproductive systems undergo


significant changes: a gradual decline in fertility and fluctuations in the
production of sex hormones, the latter triggering anatomical and
physiological changes in distant organs and tissues.
