Study Notes
Reproductive System
- The gonads produce sex cells (gametes) and sex hormones.
Sex Determination
- The hormone testosterone determines the formation of male or female structures.
Intersex Conditions
- Individuals with accessory reproductive structures that do not match their gonads have a condition characterized as intersex.
Scrotum Development
- When the normal event of the scrotum's development fails, the testes do not descend into the scrotum, a condition known as cryptorchidism.
Testicular Atrophy
- In males with atrophy of the testes, the testes shrink and lose their function.
Phimosis
- Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin of the penis is too tight and cannot be pulled back over the head of the penis.
Puberty
- The period of life between 10 and 15 years old, when the reproductive organs grow to their adult size and become functional, is called puberty.
Menstruation
- The first menstrual period of females is called menarche.
- When females no longer experience menstruation, they have reached menopause.
Testicular Inflammation
- Inflammation of the testes is called orchitis.
Reproductive Cancers
- The most common reproductive cancers in adult females are breast and cervical cancer.
Hormones and Maturation
- In males, the hormone responsible for sexual maturation, marked by the presence of mature semen in the testes, is testosterone.
Erogenous Zones
- Erogenous zones refer to parts of the body that are primarily receptive and increase sexual arousal when touched in a sexual manner.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
- The most common inflammatory conditions in males that may follow sexual contacts with STD microorganisms are epididymitis and urethritis.
Aging and Testosterone
- As males age, they show a steady decline in testosterone secretion.
