In females, the two systems become completely separate, whereas the male reproductive and urinary tracts share a common passage, the urethra. a Thus, the two systems are referred together as the genitourinary (GU) or urogenital (UG) tract, and urologists are called on to treat disorders of the male reproductive system as well as those of the urinary. system.  Male Reproductive System - The male germ cells, the sperm cells or spermatozoa are produced in the paired testes that are suspended outside of the body in the scrotum. I  Terminology Definition Androgen hormone that produces male characteristics (root andr/o means “male”) Circumcision Surgical removal of the end of the prepuce (foreskin). Ductus deferens The duct that conveys spermatozoa from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct; also a called vas deferens 0 Ejaculation Ejection of semen from the male urethra Erection The stiffening or hardening of the penis or the clitoris, usually because of sexual excitement Follicle-stimulating hormone A hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary that acts on the gonads; in males, FSH (FSH) promotes sperm cell development; in females, it stimulates ripening of ova in the ovary made Gamete A mature reproductive cell, the spermatozoon in the male and the ovum in the female Female Gonad A sex gland; testis or ovary Ids  Terminology Definition Luteinizing hormone (LH) A hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary that acts on the gonads; in males, it stimulates the interstitial cells to produce testosterone; in females, it stimulates ovulation and corpus luteum formation. HALES Meiosis The type of cell division that forms the gametes; it results in cells with 23 chromosomes, half the number found in other body cells Penis The male organ of copulation and urination Pituitary gland An endocrine gland at the base of the brain Prostate gland A gland that surrounds the urethra below the bladder in males and contributes secretions to the semen (root: prostat/o) Puberty Period during which the ability for sexual reproduction is attained and secondary sex characteristics begin to develop Scrotum A double pouch that contains the testes (root: osche/o) Semen The thick secretion that transports spermatozoa (roots: semin, sperm/i, spermat/o)  Terminology Definition Seminal vesicle A sac-like gland behind the bladder that contributes secretions to the semen (root: vesicul/o) Testis The male reproductive gland (roots: test/o, orchi/o, orchid/o) Testosterone The main male sex hormone Urethra The duct that carries urine out of the body and also transports semen in the male Benign prostatic hyperplasia Nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate; frequently develops with age (BPH) Gprostast Erectile dysfunction (ED) Inability of the male to perform intercourse because of failure to initiate or maintain an erection until ejaculation; impotence Infertility Decreased capacity to produce offspring Prostatitis Inflammation of the prostate gland. Female Reproductive System - Formation of the female gamete is cyclic, with an egg released midway in the menstrual cycle. - Each month, the uterus is prepared to receive a fertilized egg. - If fertilization occurs, the developing offspring is nourished and protected by the placenta and surrounding fluids until birth. - If the released egg is not fertilized, the lining of the uterus is sloughed off in menstruation.  Terminology Definition Cervix Neck; usually means the lower narrow portion (neck) of the uterus (root: cervic/o); HE Contraception The prevention of pregnancy th Corpus luteum The small yellow structure that develops from the ovarian follicle after ovulation and secretes progesterone and estrogen Endometrium The inner lining of the uterus plate Estrogen A group of hormones that produce female characteristics and prepare the uterus for the fertilized egg; Labia majora The two large folds of skin that form the sides of the vulva (root labi/o means “lip”) Labia minora The two small folds of skin within the labia majora Luteinizing hormone (LH) A hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary that acts on the gonads; in males, it stimulates the interstitial cells to produce testosterone; in females, it stimulates ovulation and corpus luteum formation  Terminology Definition Mammary gland A specialized gland capable of secreting milk in the female (roots: mamm/o, mast/o); the breast Menopause Cessation of menstrual cycles in the female ugis It 55 Menstruation The cyclic discharge of blood and mucosal tissues from the lining of the nonpregnant uterus 611 (roots: men/o, mens); menstrual period, menses Ovary A female gonad (roots: ovari/o, oophor/o) GW Ovulation The release of a mature ovum from the ovary ten of In 1 25 Progesterone A hormone produced by the corpus luteum and the placenta that maintains the endometrium for pregnancy Uterine tube ; Falopian Tube A tube extending from the upper lateral portion of the uterus that carries the ovum to the uterus (root: salping/o); Uterus The organ that receives the fertilized egg and maintains the developing offspring during pregnancy (roots: uter/o, metr, hyster/o)  Terminology Definition Vagina The muscular tube between the cervix and the vulva (roots: vagin/o ) At cervix vagina vulva Vulva The external female genital organs (roots: vulv/o, episi/o) o Candidiasis o Infection with the fungus Candida, a common cause of vaginitis Vaginitis Inflammation of the vagina Endometriosis Growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, usually in the pelvic cavity Hysterectomy Surgical removal of the uterus; most commonly done because of tumors Mammography O Radiographic study of the breast for the detection of breast cancer; the image obtained is a mammogram Mastectomy Excision of breast tissue to eliminate malignancy Female Reproductive System Female Reproductive System Female Reproductive System Match each terminology with the correct definition: Terminology Definition Answer A.
