    Study Notes

    Male Reproductive System

    • The penis contains erectile tissue and has three parts: the root, body or shaft, and glans.
    • The scrotum is a loose pouch-like sac of skin that holds the testicles, nerves, and blood vessels.
    • The testes produce testosterone and sperm, while the epididymis stores and carries sperm cells.
    • The vas deferens is a muscular tube that travels from the epididymis to the pelvic cavity.

    Female Reproductive System

    • The cervix is the lowest part of the uterus, allowing sperm to enter and menstrual blood to exit.
    • The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ that holds a fetus during pregnancy.
    • Ovaries produce eggs and hormones, while the Fallopian Tubes serve as pathways for the egg to travel from the ovaries to the uterus.
    • The vaginal opening allows menstrual blood and babies to exit the body.

    Reproductive Health Issues

    • Prostate cancer is an uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate gland.
    • Epididymitis is a condition causing discomfort, pain, and swelling in the scrotum.
    • Cervical Cancer occurs in the cells of the cervix.
    • Endometriosis is a disease where tissue similar to the uterus lining grows outside the uterus, causing pelvic pain and infertility.
    • Uterine fibroids are benign growths that develop from the uterine muscle tissue.
    • Dysmenorrhea is difficult menstrual flow or painful menstruation.
    • Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a condition causing mood, emotional, physical, and behavioral changes between ovulation and menstruation.
    • Menorrhagia is menstrual periods with abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding.
    • Testicular cancer is most common in young or middle-aged men.
