1. The Reproductive Systems

2. Male Reproductive System
Function

4. Male Reproductive System
Penis
External reproductive organ composed of spongy tissue that contains many blood vessels.
Function: sexual reproduction, sexual pleasure and elimination of body waste
Erection – blood fills the vessels in the penis

5. Male Reproductive System
Testes (Testicles)
Two small glands that produce sperm and manufacture testosterone.
Testosterone is responsible for secondary sex characteristics:
Enlargement of reproductive organs
Broadened shoulders
Facial, underarm & pubic hair
Deepened voice
Muscular development
Lengthens bones

6. Male Reproductive System
Scrotum
Sac that holds the testes at the temperature optimal for sperm production
Epididymis
Stores and matures sperm
Vas Deferens
Tube that connects epididymis to the urethra right below the bladder
Cilia and smooth muscle movement help move sperm through the vas deferens

7. Male Reproductive System
Semen
Mixture of sperm and fluids from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland and Cowper’s glands.
Fluid provides nourishment, help sperm movement, alkaline solution
Comprised of millions of sperm cells (but sperms is only 5% of mixture)

8. Sperm

9. Male Reproductive System
Urethra
Tube that travels from the bladder through the penis to the outside of the body
Passageway for sperm and urine
Muscle located below the bladder prevents urine and sperm from being present at the same time.

10. Reproductive Glands
Seminal Vesicles – glands located behind the bladder that secretes fluid that mixes with sperm to make up semen
Prostate Gland – gland located below the bladder that secretes fluid that mixes with sperm to make up semen
Cowper’s Glands - gland located below the prostate gland that secretes fluid that mixes with sperm to make up semen

11. Male Reproductive System

12. Male Reproductive System
Ejaculation
Release of sperm/semen from the body
Pre-ejaculatory Fluid
Fluid released from Cowper’s gland before ejaculation to cleanse the urethra
Nocturnal Emission
While asleep the penis becomes
erect and fluid is released

18. Female Reproductive System
Vulva – external organs
Mons Pubis – fatty tissue that cover the pubic bone
Labia Majora & Labia Minora – folds of skin around the vagina that serve as protection & produce sexual arousal
Vaginal Opening – location of the hymen

Cervix
Opening of the uterus
Uterus (Womb)

Menstrual flow comes from the uterus lining

20. Female Reproductive System
Fallopian Tubes
Tubes that connect the uterus to both ovaries.
Fertilization (union of sperm and ova) occurs in these tubes
Ovaries
Female sex glands that mature ovum and produce estrogen & progesterone

Widened hips & increase in body fat
Start of menstrual cycle
