Study Notes
Male Reproductive System
- The male reproductive system consists of scrotum, testes, epididymis, prostate, seminal vesicles, Cowper's glands, urethra, and penis.
- The smooth muscle is called the dartos muscle, which contracts with cold or sexual stimulation.
- Each testicle is divided into lobules, containing immature sperm that mature and become viable sperm.
- The spermatozoa are produced in the testes, and during sexual excitation, smooth muscle in the walls contract to propel sperm.
Anatomy of the Female Reproductive System
- The female reproductive system consists of ovaries, uterus, cervix, vagina, and vulva.
- The mammary glands are separated by dense connective tissue that supports the glands and attaches them to the chest wall.
- The breasts are composed of larger ducts that end just behind the nipple.
Hormones
- Testosterone, androstenedione, and dihydrotestosterone are the principal testicular hormones involved in prenatal growth and development.
- Progesterone and estrogen are the principal hormones involved in female reproductive development.
Reproductive Disorders
- Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) is a condition experienced by males aged 45 and over, where glandular tissue thickens due to stimulation by testosterone.
- Prostate cancer can be treated with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or surgery, and the cure rate exceeds 90% for individuals with seminoma.
- Testicular cancer can be treated with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or surgery, and the cure rate is approximately 80% for those with seminoma histology.
Menopause and Climacteric
- Menopause can be caused surgically by removing the ovaries, or chemically, and is characterized by symptoms such as depression, vaginal dryness, and emotional irritability.
- Climacteric is the period of time leading up to menopause, characterized by symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness.
Infertility and Sexual Dysfunction
- Infertility can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, anatomical abnormalities, and genetic disorders.
- Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be caused by a range of factors, including diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, neurological disorders, and certain medications.
Female Reproductive Disorders
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition characterized by insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and ovulatory dysfunction.
- Fibroids are noncancerous growths that can cause bleeding, pelvic pain, and reproductive problems.
- Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility.
- Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women, and can be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy.
Other Conditions
- Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, which can be acute or chronic, and can be treated with antibiotics, analgesics, and surgery.
- Epididymitis and orchitis are conditions characterized by inflammation of the epididymis and testes, respectively.
- Hydrocele, spermatocele, and varicocele are conditions characterized by fluid accumulation, cysts, and varicose veins in the scrotum, respectively.
