Study Notes
Levels of Biological Organization
- Biological organization progresses from cells to the biosphere
- Cells are the basic units of life
- Tissues are groups of similar cells
- Organs are structures composed of tissues with specific functions
- Organ systems are groups of organs working together
- Organisms are individual living things comprised of organ systems
- Populations are groups of the same species
- Communities are interacting populations
- Ecosystems include communities and their environment
- Biosphere encompasses all ecosystems
Human Reproductive System
-
The male reproductive system produces sperm
-
The female reproductive system produces eggs
-
These systems work together in a process called sexual reproduction
-
The male reproductive system includes testes, scrotum, ducts, penis, seminal vesicles, prostate glands, and bulbourethral glands
-
The parts of the female reproductive system include ovaries, oviducts, uterus, cervix, and vagina
-
The penis is involved in both urination and sexual intercourse. It contains spongy tissue and blood vessels
-
Testes are oval-shaped organs located in the scrotum. They produce testosterone and sperm.
-
The foreskin is a retractable fold of skin that covers the end of the penis.
-
The scrotum is a bag of skin that contains the testes and helps regulate temperature for sperm production.
-
The urethra is a hollow tube that transports urine and sperm.
-
The epididymis is a long coiled tube behind each testis where sperm mature
-
The vas deferens transports mature sperm cells to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation
-
Semen is a mixture of sperm cells and secretions from various glands, and plays a part in fertilization.
- The seminal vesicles, prostate gland and bulbourethral glands play a part in producing components of semen.
-
The bladder temporarily stores urine
-
Prostate glands are walnut shaped structures located under the urinary bladder, surrounding the urethra's first part.
-
Seminal vesicles produce an alkaline secretion rich in fructose that gives sperm energy for motility
-
Cowper's gland also known as the bulbourethral gland produces a clear, slippery fluid that lubricates the urethra to neutralize any acidity due to residual urine.
Properties of Life
- Organisms reproduce to perpetuate their kind through sexual or asexual means.
Importance of Learning about Reproduction
- Understanding the reproductive system helps with personal health and how to show respect towards others within a community.
