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

Fluid production glands: Seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands
Preventing AIDS: Avoiding unprotected sexual intercourse
Best way to prevent HIV spread: Use condoms during sexual intercourse
"Why don't antibiotics cure HIV?": Viruses are not affected by antibiotics
Viral STI examples: Herpes, HPV, hepatitis, HIV
STI treatment: Antivirals or Antibiotics (depending on specific infection)
