    The document summarizes the male and female reproductive systems. The male system includes testes that produce sperm and accessory organs like the seminal vesicles and prostate gland that provide fluids for ejaculation. The female system includes ovaries that produce eggs and accessory organs like the uterus and vagina that support pregnancy and childbirth. Both systems work together to produce offspring through the union of male sperm and female eggs.

    REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

    GONADS ACCESSORY REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS

    TESTES OVARIES

    Reproductive role of the Male Reproductive System Reproductive role of the Female Reproductive
    -manufacture male gametes System
    -deliver them to the woman’s reproductive tract -produces female gametes
    -provides a protective environment in which the
    embryo, later called fetus, develops until birth

    JOINT PURPOSE: TO PRODUCE OFFSPRING


    TESTES

    SPERMATIC CORD

    TUNICA ALBUGINEA SEPTUM LOBULES

    SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES

    RETE TESTIS

    EPIDIDYMIS

    INTERSTITIAL CELLS
    DUCT SYSTEM

    EPIDIDYMIS – 6 meters long; temporary storage site for sperm; it takes 20 days, they mature and develop the ability to swim

    DUCTUS DEFERENS – propel live sperm from their storage sites into the urethra

    URETHRA – extends from the base of the urinary bladder to the tip of the penis; terminal part of the male duct system

    PROSTATIC URETHRA – surrounded by the prostate gland

    MEMBRANOUS URETHRA – from the prostatic urethra to the penis

    SPONGY (PENILE) URETHRA – running within the penis and opening to the body exterior via the external urethral orifice
    EJACULATORY DUCT

    AMPULLA

    DESCENDS ALONG THE POSTERIOR BLADDER WALL

    LOOPS MEDIALLY OVER THE URETER

    SUPERIOR ASPECT OF THE BLADDER

    INGUINAL CANAL

    SPERMATIC CORD
    ACCESSORY GLANDS

    paired SEMINAL VESICLES


    -produced 60% of the seminal fluid (fluid portion)
    -thick, yellowish
    -rich in sugar, vitamin C, prostaglandins and other
    substances to nourish and activate the sperm
    passing though the tract
    -joins with the ductus deferens to form the
    ejaculatory duct

    single PROSTATE
    -prostate fluid
    -milky and plays a role in activating sperm

    paired BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS


    -tiny, pea-sized glands inferior to the prostate
    -thick, clear mucus
    -secretion first to pass down the urethra when a
    man becomes sexually excited
    -cleanses the urethra of trace acidic urine prior to
    ejaculation
    -serves as a lubricant during sexual intercourse
    SEMEN

    -milky white, somewhat sticky mixture of sperm and


    accessory gland secretion

    -liquid portion of the semen contains nutrients and


    chemicals that protect the sperm and aid their
    movement

    -sperm are sluggish under acidic conditions

    -the alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidic


    environment of the female’s vagina

    -also contain antibiotic chemicals


    EXTERNAL GENITALIA

    SCROTUM – divided sac of skin with sparse PENIS – functions to deliver sperm into the
    hairs that hangs outside the abdominal cavity, female reproductive tract
    between the legs at the root of the penis
    shaft – skin covered

    erectile tissues
    corpora cavernosa (2)
    corpus spongiosum (1)

    SUSPENSORY LIGAMENTS – LATERAL WALLS OF THE PELVIS

    OVARIAN LIGAMENTS – MEDIALLY TO THE UTERUS

    CORPUS LUTEUM
    BROAD LIGAMENT – HOLDS THE OVARIES AND UTERUS
    UTERINE TUBES/FALLOPIAN TUBES

    -RECEIVE THE OVULATED OOCYTE


    -PROVIDE A SITE FOR FERTILIZATOIN
    UTERUS

    -located between the bladder and rectum


    -hollow organ
    -receive, retain and nourish a fertilized egg
    -size and shape of a pear
    -in pregnancy, increases in size
    -suspended in the pelvis by the broad ligament
    -anchored anteriorly by the round ligament
    -anchored posteriorly by the uterosacral ligament
    portions of the uterus

    -body – major portion


    -fundus – rounded region and entrance to the uterine tubes
    -cervix – narrow outlet, protrudes inferiorly into the vagina

    layers of the uterus

    -endometrium – inner layer or mucosa


    -myometrium – composed of smooth muscles; active role
    in childbirth
    -perimetrium – outermost layer
    VAGINA

    -thin walled tube


    -provides a passageway for the delivery of an infant and for the
    menstrual flow to leave the body
    -female organ of copulation

    hymen – thin fold of mucosa that partially close the distal end of
    the vagina

    EXTERNAL GENITALIA/FEMALE PERINEUM

    collectively called the vulva

    mons pubis
    labia
    clitoris
    urethral and vaginal orifices
    greater vestibular glands – secretion lubricates the distal end of
    the vagina during intercourse
