Study Notes
Sex vs. Gender
- Sex refers to biological attributes in humans and animals.
- Gender is a social construct, meaning it varies from society to society and can change over time.
Female Development
- In the absence of the SRY gene, ovaries develop.
- Wolffian ducts degenerate.
- Müllerian ducts differentiate to form the oviducts, uterus, cervix, and upper portion of the vagina.
Male Development
- The prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral glands are internal reproductive organs in males.
- The prostate gland secretes an alkaline fluid that protects sperm from the naturally acidic environment of the urethra.
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common non-cancerous condition that can be treated medically or surgically.
- Testes produce sperm and hormones.
- The urethra passes through the center of the testes.
- The Bulbourethral Glands are also part of the male reproductive system.
