Study Notes
Male Reproductive System
- Functions include production of gametes (sperm) and hormones (mainly testosterone).
- Sperm development occurs in the epididymis.
- Vas deferens transports sperm from epididymis to urethra.
- The penis is the male copulatory organ.
- Pathway of sperm: epididymis → vas deferens → seminal vesicles → prostate gland → urethra.
- Essential hormones include testosterone, which develops male secondary sex characteristics.
- The male reproductive system is not vital for sustaining life.
Female Reproductive System
- Ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone.
- Eggs are produced in the ovaries.
- Uterus is a muscular organ where a developing offspring grows.
- The first day of a female's reproductive cycle corresponds to the shedding of the uterine lining when hormone levels are low.
- Estrogen is responsible for female secondary sex characteristics during puberty.
- After fertilization, a fertilized egg contacts the fallopian tubes and uterus.
- The ovaries play a role in hormone production, including progesterone.
Additional Structures
- Seminal vesicles produce fluid that nourishes sperm and enhances motility.
- Hormonal regulation is crucial for reproductive processes in both males and females, affecting growth and reproductive readiness.
