The Reproductive System

An Overview of Human Anatomy and Physiology


Introduction

• - Ensures species survival


• - Regulates reproductive hormones
• - Key in human development
Male Reproductive System

• - Primary organs: Testes, Epididymis


• - Accessory organs: Prostate gland, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands
• - External structures: Penis, scrotum
Female Reproductive System

• - Primary organs: Ovaries


• - Internal organs: Uterus, Fallopian tubes, Vagina
• - External structures: Labia, clitoris
Gametogenesis

• - Male: Spermatogenesis (millions of sperm daily)


• - Female: Oogenesis (one mature ovum per cycle)
• - Hormonal control: FSH and LH
Hormonal Regulation

• - Male hormones: Testosterone


• - Female hormones: Estrogen and progesterone
• - Menstrual cycle: Follicular, ovulatory, luteal phases
Fertilization Process

• - Sperm meets egg in the fallopian tube


• - Fusion of gametes forms a zygote
• - Requires precise hormonal timing
Pregnancy and Development

• - Stages: First trimester (organ development), Second trimester (growth),


Third trimester (preparation for birth)
• - Role of placenta and amniotic sac
Common Disorders

• - Male: Erectile dysfunction, prostate cancer


• - Female: PCOS, endometriosis, cervical cancer
• - Infertility: Causes and treatments
Conclusion

• - Roles and differences in male and female systems


• - Hormonal regulation is crucial
• - Importance of reproductive health
