Study Notes
Reproductive System and Endocrine System Overview
- Follicles in the ovaries hold eggs and produce estrogen and inhibin as the egg and follicle grow.
- The release of LH is triggered when the fully-grown follicle produces the most estrogen, helping the egg mature and causing ovulation.
- After ovulation, the follicle becomes the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone to prepare the endometrium for embryo implantation.
- The female reproductive organs include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina, and vulva.
- The male reproductive system produces, maintains, and transports sperm and semen, and secretes male sex hormones.
- FSH stimulates sperm production in the testes, while LH signals the production of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone.
- The male reproductive organs include the penis, scrotum, testicles, epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra.
- The endocrine system, made up of glands that produce hormones, influences almost every cell, organ, and function of the body.
- Hormones, the body's chemical messengers, enter the bloodstream from endocrine glands and influence cells in other parts of the body.
