Study Notes
Male Reproductive System
- Functions: produce sex hormones, produce and store sperm, deliver sperm to the female reproductive system
- Pathway of sperm: testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands, urethra
- Pear-shaped, hollow muscular organ: uterus
- Females born with all egg cells: True
- Sterilization procedure: Vasectomy (cuts vas deferens to prevent sperm transport)
- Hormone stimulating spermatogonia division: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
- Female gonads: Ovaries
- Most important hormone produced by testes: Testosterone
- Sperm development location: Seminiferous tubules
- Inner layer of uterus: Endometrium
- Male reproductive structure behind urethra: Prostate gland
- Male reproductive structure connecting testes and storing sperm: Epididymis
Female Reproductive System
- Functions: produce sex hormones, produce eggs, provide nourishing environment for the baby
- Egg pathway: ovary, uterine tube, uterus, vagina
- Opening to uterus: Cervix
- End of female reproductive cycle in middle age: Menopause
- Examples of mechanical birth control: Condoms, cervical caps, diaphragms
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Some are viral (incurable) like genital herpes, HPV, AIDS and some are bacterial
General Reproductive Information
