Study Notes
Male Reproductive System
- The system responsible for the manufacture of sperm and testosterone in males is the testes.
- The epididymis is involved in the maturation of sperm.
- The ductus deferens is responsible for transporting sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
- The seminal vesicles store semen before ejaculation.
- The Vas Deferens is the structure that leads sperm from the testes to the urethra.
- The Prostate Gland produces fluid that nourishes and protects sperm cells.
- Cowper's Gland produces fluid that nourishes and protects sperm cells.
- The testicles lie in the scrotum, which surrounds them and controls their temperature.
- The Vas Deferens stores sperm cells primarily.
- The prostate gland is located near the bladder and urethra.
- The function of the prostate gland is to produce fluids that nourish and protect sperm cells.
Female Reproductive System
- The ovaries are responsible for the production of eggs.
- The ovaries produce egg cells and female hormones.
- The Fallopian tube is where fertilization of the egg and sperm cells usually occurs.
- The fallopian tube is responsible for carrying the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
- The uterus is where fertilized eggs develop.
- The cervix is the narrow opening located between the vagina and the uterus.
- The vagina is also known as the 'Birth Canal'.
General Reproductive System Functions
- The overall function of the reproductive systems in both males and females is to produce sex cells and support the development of a fetus.
- The temperature required for sperm production in males is approximately 2-3°C below body temperature.
- Puberty is the stage when the reproductive system becomes functional.
