1. Human Reproductive Systems
Our species lives on…….you must reproduce to continue the species
I can:
1) Draw & label the structures of the male and female reproductive systems
2) Explain the function of each major structure of the male and female reproductive system

2. MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

3. Male Sexual Development
Testosterone is the male reproductive hormone
Secreted in small amounts until puberty
Puberty begins when:
Hypothalamus → Pituitary → increased FSH and LH→ GONADS (TESTES)
GONADS → TESTOSTERONE
Testosterone produces male 2ndary sex characteristics
Ex. body hair, muscle development, deep voice

4. Male Reproductive Parts
Testes:
Male reproductive gland
Sperm and testosterone produced
Scrotum:
Protective sac around testes
Keeps testes cool (this keeps the sperm at an optimum temperature for development 
Epididymis:
Stores sperm while they mature
Vas Deferens:
Tube that carries sperm from epididymis to urethra
Vasectomy - procedure that prevents sperm from exiting the body

5. tube through the penis carrying sperm to the outside of the body
Prostate gland -- the largest of several glands which add lubricating and other fluids to the sperm 
Urethra:
tube through the penis carrying sperm to the outside of the body
Other glands work together to produce seminal fluid.
Combination of sperm and seminal fluid = semen
Penis- adaptation for internal fertilization of the female
Semen travels from testes →vas deferens→ urethra→ penis → outside of the body through ejaculation (uncontrolled muscle contractions)

6. Female Reproductive System
2015 Reproduction -SMP

7. Female Sexual Development
Estrogen is the female reproductive hormone
Puberty begins when:
Hypothalamus → Pituitary → increased FSH AND LH → GONADS (OVARIES)
GONADS → Estrogen and progesterone
Estrogen produces female 2ndary sex characteristics
(broadening of pelvis, breast development, and are involved in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy).

8. Female Reproductive Parts
Ovaries:
Female Reproductive Gland
Egg (ova) produced here
Also contain follicles:
Place where eggs mature
Fallopian tubes (Oviduct):
Tubes that carry an egg from ovary to uterus
Place of fertilization
Egg Travel: From the ovaries → fallopian tubes/oviducts → uterus

9. Uterus:
Mostly muscle
implantation and development of the embryo and fetus before birth occurs here
Vagina
Vagina (or birth canal) entry point for sperm from the male and exit tube for the baby when it is born
