LESSON PROPER

1. The reproductive system or genital system

 A system of sex organs within an organism, which work together for the purpose of
sexual reproduction.

 Many non-living substances such as fluids, hormones, and pheromones are also
important accessories to the reproductive system.

 Unlike most organ systems, the sexes of differentiated species often have significant
differences.

 These differences allow for a combination of genetic material between two

individuals, which allows for the possibility of greater genetic fitness of the
offspring.

2. The human reproductive system

■ Usually involves internal fertilization by sexual intercourse.

■ During this process, the male inserts his erect penis into the female's vagina and ejaculates
semen, which contains sperm. The sperm then travels through the vagina and cervix into the
uterus or fallopian tubes for fertilization of the ovum.
 ■ Upon successful fertilization and implantation, gestation of the fetus then occurs within the
female's uterus for approximately nine months, this process is known as pregnancy in humans.
Gestation ends with birth, the process of birth is known as labor.
■ Labor consists of the muscles of the uterus contracting, the cervix dilating, and the baby passing
out the vagina (the female genital organ). Human's babies and children are nearly helpless and
require high levels of parental care for many years. One important type of parental care is the
use of the mammary glands in the female breasts to nurse the baby.

3. The human male reproductive system

Male Part What It Does

PENIS Allows passage of urine and semen
(made up of shaft, Provides sensation (has many nerve endings)
glans, The average penis measures 3–4 inches when it's not erect (flaccid)
and foreskin) and 5–7 inches when erect
FORESKIN Protects the glans of the penis
Provides sensation
Males who have been circumcised don’t have one
SCROTUM Muscular sac which is shorter when cold, longer when warm
Holds testes
Controls temperature
Provides sensation
TESTES Produces sperm and sex hormones (androgens and testosterone)
(also called testicles) Each is made of 500–1,200 feet of tightly coiled tubes
EPIDIDYMIS Allows maturation of sperm
SPERMATAZOA Cell from a man called sperm
(sperm) Sperm carry the strings of genes (called chromosomes)
or DNA instructions in case the sperm meets with an egg cell
and fertilizes it
SPERMATIC CORDS Suspends the testicles
Supply blood to the testicles
Provide sensation
Carry sperm from the testicles
VAS DEFERENS Provides storage for sperm
Allow passage of sperm
Provides sensation
Carries sperm from the testes
SEMINAL VESICLES Contributes fructose (sugar) to semen for nourishing the sperm
SEMEN Helps sperm live longer and travel better
About a teaspoon per ejaculation
Contains hundreds of millions of sperm
PROSTATE GLAND Produces most of the fluid that makes up semen
COWPER’S GLAND Pair of glands
(also called Produces pre–ejaculatory fluid (called “pre–cum”) that cleans
bulbourethral the urethra to protect sperm. Some pre–ejaculatory fluid may
glands) contain sperm
4. Functions of female reproductive system

■ The first is to produce egg cells, and the second is to protect and nourish the offspring until
birth. The male reproductive system has one function, and it is to produce and deposit sperm.

■ Humans have a high level of sexual differentiation. In addition to differences in nearly every
reproductive organ, numerous differences typically occur in secondary sexual characteristics.

5. The human female reproductive system

FEMALE PART WHAT IT DOES

OVARY Provide storage for the ovum (eggs)
Allow maturation of the ovum
Produce sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone and androgens)
FALLOPIAN TUBES Allow passage of ovum toward uterus
Allow passage of sperm from uterus
FIMBRIA Guides a mature ovum, when it is released from an ovary, into a
Fallopian tube
Fringe–like or finger–like outer ends of the Fallopian tubes
SKENE’S GLANDS Area of firm tissue towards the front wall of the vagina
surrounding the urethra
Responds to pressure sometimes causing orgasm that may
or may not produce fluid (the fluid is not urine)
Also known as the Graffenberg–spot (G–spot) or the female
prostate gland
VULVA Protect opening of urethra and vagina, as eyelids protect eyes
(made up of labia Provide sensation (has many nerve endings)
majora, Labia are folds of skin
labia minora, and Outer labia (labia majora) have pubic hair

the endometrium,
and
a cervix. The uterus
is
also called “womb”)
CERVIX The bottom section of the uterus

HYMEN Membrane some females have that partly covers the
vaginal opening
Some girls are both without a hymen
May be stretched during use of a tampon, having finger
inserted or during sexual intercourse
OVUM Carries strings of genes called chromosomes which mix with
(also called “egg chromosomes of sperm if fertilization occurs
cell”) They dissolve in the Fallopian tube after about 24 hours if
not fertilized

6. Menstruation

 The length of the menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman, but the average is to have
periods every 28 days. Regular cycles that are longer or shorter than this, from 21 to 40 days,
are normal.

 The menstrual cycle is the time from the first day of a woman's period to the day before her
next period.
 Girls can start their periods anywhere from age 10 upwards, but the average is around 12 years.
The average age for the menopause (when periods stop) in this country is 50 to 55.

 Between the ages of 12 and 52, a woman will have around 480 periods, or fewer if she has any
pregnancies.
What happens during the menstrual cycle?

 The menstrual cycle is controlled by hormones. In each cycle, rising levels of the hormone
estrogen cause the ovary to develop and release an egg (ovulation). The womb lining also starts
to thicken.

 In the second half of the cycle, the hormone progesterone helps the womb to prepare for
implantation of a developing embryo.

 The egg travels down the fallopian tubes. If pregnancy doesn't occur, the egg is reabsorbed into
the body. Levels of estrogen and progesterone fall, and the womb lining comes away and leaves
the body as a period (the menstrual flow).

 The time from the release of an egg to the start of a period is around 10 to 16 days.

What are periods?

 A period is made up of blood and the womb lining. The first day of a woman's period is day 1 of
the menstrual cycle.

 Periods last around 2 to 7 days, and women lose about 3 to 5 tablespoons of blood in a period.

 Some women bleed more heavily than this, but help is available if heavy periods are a problem.

7. Pregnancy

What happens during ovulation?

 Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovaries. A woman is born with all her eggs.

 Once she starts her periods, 1 egg develops and is released during each menstrual cycle. After
ovulation, the egg lives for 24 hours.

 Pregnancy happens if a man's sperm meet and fertilize the egg. Sperm can survive in the
fallopian tubes for up to 7 days after sex.

 Occasionally, more than 1 egg is released during ovulation. If more than 1 egg is fertilized it can
lead to a multiple pregnancy, such as twins.
  A woman can't get pregnant if ovulation doesn't occur. Some methods of hormonal
contraception – such as the combined pill, the contraceptive patch and the contraceptive
injection – work by stopping ovulation.

When are you most fertile?

 Theoretically, there's only a short time when women can get pregnant, and that is the time
around ovulation.

 Vaginal secretions (sometimes called vaginal discharge) change during the menstrual cycle.
Around the time of ovulation, they become thinner and stretchy, a bit like raw egg white.

Pregnancy occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg after it’s released from the ovary during ovulation. The
fertilized egg then travels down into the uterus, where implantation occurs. A successful implantation
results in pregnancy.
