    Study Notes

    Male Reproductive System

    • Primary Function: Spermatogenesis (production of sperm)
    • Location of Spermatogenesis: Seminiferous tubules within the testes
    • Sperm Maturation: Occurs in the epididymis located on the posterior side of the testes
      • Maturation involves: Growth of a tail for swimming and production of enzymes to penetrate the oocyte (egg)
    • Sperm Transport: From the epididymis, sperm travels through the vas (ductus) deferens to the ampulla (pouch posterior to the urinary bladder where sperm is stored)
    • Ejaculation Pathway: Sperm is released into the prostatic urethra, a section of the urethra within the prostate
    • Seminal Fluid Production:
      • Seminal vesicles (posterior to the urinary bladder, adjacent to the ampulla)
      • Prostate (inferior to the urinary bladder within the pelvic cavity)
      • Cowper's glands (inferior to the prostate)
    • Erection: Stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system, causing penile arteriole dilation
    • Ejaculation: Stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system

    Female Reproductive System

    • Primary Function: Oogenesis (production of oocytes)
    • Location of Oogenesis: Ovaries, specifically within ovarian follicles
    • Follicle Development: Each month, one follicle matures beyond others, becoming the Graafian follicle
      • This development is stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
    • Ovulation: Occurs on day 14 of a woman's cycle, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH)
      • The empty follicle becomes the corpus luteum
    • Egg Transport: The ovulated egg travels down the fallopian tubes to the uterus
      • The uterus is located superior/posterior to the urinary bladder and anterior to the rectum
    • Childbirth: During delivery, the cervix (neck of the uterus, projecting into the vaginal canal) dilates

    Female Reproductive Cycle

    • Menstrual Phase (Day 1-5ish): First day of bleeding marks day 1
      • All reproductive hormones are at their lowest levels, except for FSH
    • Preovulatory Phase (Day 5-14): FSH and estrogen (building the uterine lining) levels increase, LH levels start to rise
    • Ovulation (Day 14): Surge in LH triggers ovulation
    • Postovulatory Phase/Luteal Phase (Day 14-28): Estrogen and progesterone levels increase to prepare for potential pregnancy
      • If pregnancy occurs, these hormones remain elevated
      • If not, these hormones decline, triggering the next menstrual cycle

    Male Reproductive System

    • Primary function: Spermatogenesis (production of sperm)
    • Spermatogenesis location: Seminiferous tubules within the testes
    • Sperm maturation: Occurs in the epididymis, located on the posterior side of the testes
      • Includes growth of a tail for swimming and production of enzymes to penetrate the oocyte (egg)
    • Sperm transport: From the epididymis, sperm travels through the vas deferens (ductus deferens) to the ampulla
      • Ampulla is a pouch located posterior to the urinary bladder (UB) where sperm is stored
    • Ejaculation: Sperm is released into the prostatic urethra, a section of the urethra within the prostate gland
    • Seminal fluid production: Three glands contribute to seminal fluid:
      • Seminal vesicles: located on the posterior side of the UB, next to the ampulla
      • Prostate gland: inferior to the UB within the pelvic cavity
      • Cowper's glands: inferior to the prostate gland
    • Erection: Stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system, which causes dilation of penile arterioles
    • Ejaculation: Stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system

    Female Reproductive System

    • Primary function: Oogenesis (production of oocytes)
    • Oogenesis location: Ovaries, specifically within ovarian follicles
    • Ovarian follicle maturation: Each month, one follicle matures beyond the others, becoming a Graafian follicle
      • This development is stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
    • Ovulation: Occurs on day 14 of a woman's menstrual cycle
      • Triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH)
      • The empty follicle becomes the corpus luteum
    • Ovulated egg transport: Travels down the fallopian tubes towards the uterus
    • Uterus location: Superior/posterior to the UB, anterior to the rectum
    • Cervix: The neck of the uterus, projects into the vaginal canal; dilates during delivery

    Female Reproductive Cycle

    • Menstrual phase: Days 1-5ish, including the first day of bleeding
      • All reproductive-related hormones are at their lowest levels except FSH
    • Preovulatory phase: Days 5-14
      • Increased levels of FSH and estrogen (rebuilding uterine lining)
      • Rising LH levels
      • Day 14: LH surge triggers ovulation
    • Post-ovulatory phase (luteal phase): Days 14-28
      • Elevated estrogen and progesterone levels prepare for potential pregnancy
      • If pregnancy occurs, these hormone levels remain elevated
      • If pregnancy does not occur, hormone levels drop, triggering the next menstrual cycle

    • Sperm Transport: Sperm travels from the epididymis to the ampulla (pouch posterior to the urinary bladder) via the vas deferens (ductus deferens).
    • Seminal Fluid Production: Three glands contribute to seminal fluid production:
      • Seminal vesicles (posterior to the urinary bladder, near the ampulla).
      • Prostate (inferior to the urinary bladder within the pelvic cavity).
      • Cowper's glands (inferior to the prostate).
    • Erection: Stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system, causing dilation of penile arterioles.

      • FSH and estrogen levels rise (estrogen begins rebuilding the uterine lining).
      • LH levels start to increase.
      • Day 14: Surge in LH triggers ovulation.
    • Postovulatory Phase/Luteal Phase (Days 14-28):
      • Estrogen and progesterone levels elevate to prepare the uterus for pregnancy.
      • If pregnancy occurs, these hormones remain elevated.
      • If not, the hormones drop, triggering the next menstrual cycle.
