Hair follicles Hair growth and coarser hair in the pubic area, legs, chest, axillary region, face, and occasionally back; male pattern baldness

Skin Coarser texture of skin; increased rate of secretion of sebaceous glands, frequently resulting in acne at the time of puberty;
increased secretion of sweat glands in axillary regions

Larynx Enlargement of larynx and deeper masculine voice

Most tissues Increased rate of metabolism

Red blood cells Increased rate of red blood cell production; a red blood cell count increase by about 20% as a result of increased erythropoietin
secretion

Kidneys Retention of sodium and water to a small degree, resulting in increased extracellular fluid volume

Skeletal muscle A skeletal muscle mass increase at puberty; average increase is greater in males than in females

Bone Rapid bone growth, resulting in increased rate of growth and early cessation of bone growth; males who mature sexually at a
later age do not exhibit a rapid period of growth, but they grow for a longer time and can become taller than men who
mature earlier

Table 19.3

Events During the Menstrual Cycle


Menses (day 1 to day 4 or 5 of the menstrual cycle)
Pituitary gland The rate of FSH and LH secretion is low, but the rate of FSH secretion increases as progesterone levels decline.
Ovary The rate of estrogen and progesterone secretion is low after degeneration of the corpus luteum produced during the previous
menstrual cycle.
Uterus In response to declining progesterone levels, the endometrial lining of the uterus sloughs off, resulting in menses followed by repair of
the endometrium.

Proliferative Phase (from day 4 or 5 until ovulation on about day 14)


Pituitary gland The rate of FSH and LH secretion is only slightly elevated during most of the proliferative phase; FSH and LH secretions increase near
the end of the proliferative phase in response to increasing estrogen secretion from the ovaries.
Ovary Developing follicles secrete increasing amounts of estrogen, especially near the end of the proliferative phase; increasing FSH and
LH cause additional estrogen secretion from the ovaries near the end of the proliferative phase.
Uterus Estrogen causes endometrial cells of the uterus to divide. The endometrium of the uterus thickens, and tubelike glands form.
Estrogen causes the cells of the uterus to be more sensitive to progesterone by increasing the number of progesterone receptors
in uterine tissues.

Ovulation (about day 14)


Pituitary gland The rate of FSH and LH secretion increases rapidly just before ovulation in response to increasing estrogen levels. Increasing FSH and
LH levels stimulate estrogen secretion, resulting in a positive-feedback cycle.
Ovary LH causes final maturation of a mature follicle and initiates the process of ovulation. FSH acts on immature follicles and causes several
of them to begin to enlarge.
Uterus The endometrium continues to divide in response to estrogen.

Secretory Phase (from about day 14 to day 28)


Pituitary gland Estrogen and progesterone reach levels high enough to inhibit FSH and LH secretion from the pituitary gland.
Ovary After ovulation, the follicle is converted to the corpus luteum; the corpus luteum secretes large amounts of progesterone and smaller
amounts of estrogen from shortly after ovulation until about day 24 or 25. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates
after about day 25, and the rate of progesterone secretion rapidly declines to low levels.
Uterus In response to progesterone, the endometrial cells enlarge, the endometrial layer thickens, and the glands of the endometrium reach
their greatest degree of development; the endometrial cells secrete a small amount of fluid. After progesterone levels decline, the
endometrium begins to degenerate.

Menses (day 1 to day 4 or 5 of the next menstrual cycle)


Pituitary gland The rate of LH remains low, and the rate of FSH secretion increases as progesterone levels decline.
Ovary The rate of estrogen and progesterone secretion is low.
Uterus In response to declining progesterone levels, the endometrial lining of the uterus sloughs off, resulting in menses followed by repair of
the endometrium.

Possible Changes in Postmenopausal Women Caused by Decreased Ovarian


Hormone Secretion
Changes

Menstrual cycle Five to seven years before menopause, the cycle becomes irregular; the number of cycles in which ovulation does not occur
and in which corpora lutea do not develop increases.

Uterus Gradual increase in irregular menstruations is followed by no menstruation; the endometrium finally atrophies, and the uterus
becomes smaller.

Vagina and external The epithelial lining becomes thinner; the external genitalia become thinner and less elastic; the labia majora become smaller;
genitalia the pubic hair decreases; reduced secretion leads to dryness; the vagina is more easily inflamed and infected.

Skin The epidermis becomes thinner.

Cardiovascular system Hypertension and atherosclerosis occur more frequently.

Vasomotor instability Hot flashes and increased sweating are correlated with vasodilation of cutaneous blood vessels; the hot flashes are related to
decreased estrogen levels.

Libido Temporary changes, usually a decrease in libido, are associated with the onset of menopause.

Fertility Fertility begins to decline about 10 years before the onset of menopause; by age 50, almost all the oocytes and follicles have
degenerated.

Pituitary function Low levels of estrogen and progesterone produced by the ovaries cause the pituitary gland to secrete larger than normal amounts
of LH and FSH; increased levels of these hormones have little effect on the postmenopausal ovaries.

REPRESENTATIVE DISEASES AND DISORDERS: Reproductive System


Condition Description

Infectious Diseases
Pelvic inflammatory Bacterial infection of the female pelvic organs; commonly caused by a vaginal or uterine infection with the bacteria
disease (PID) gonorrhea or chlamydia; early symptoms include increased vaginal discharge and pelvic pain; antibiotics are effective; if
untreated, can lead to sterility or be life-threatening

Sexually Transmitted Commonly known as STIs; spread by intimate sexual contact


Infections

Nongonococcal urethritis Inflammation of the urethra that is not caused by gonorrhea; can be caused by trauma, insertion of a nonsterile
(non-gon′ō-kok′ăl u-rē- catheter, or sexual contact; usually due to infection with the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis (kla-mid′ē-ă tra-kō′mă-
thrῑ′tis) tis); may go unnoticed and result in pelvic inflammatory disease or sterility; antibiotics are effective treatment

Trichomoniasis Caused by Trichomonas (trik′ō- mō′nas), a protozoan commonly found in the vagina of women and in the urethra of
(trik-ō-mō-nῑ′ă-sis) men; results in a greenish-yellow discharge with a foul odor; more common in women than in men

Gonorrhea (gon-ō-rē′ă) Caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae (nῑ-sē′rē-ă gon-ō-rē′ă), which attaches to the epithelial cells of the vagina
or male urethra and causes pus to form; pain and discharge from the penis occur in men; asymptomatic in
women in the early stages; can lead to sterility in men and pelvic inflammatory disease in women

Genital herpes (her′pēz) Caused by herpes simplex 2 virus; characterized by lesions on the genitals that progress into blisterlike areas, making
urination, sitting, and walking painful; antiviral drugs can be effective

Genital warts Caused by a viral infection; very contagious; warts vary from separate, small growths to large, cauliflower-like clusters; lesions
are not painful, but sexual intercourse with lesions is; treatments include topical medicines and surgery to remove the lesions

Syphilis (sif′i-lis) Caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum (trep-ō-nē′mă pal′i-dǔm); can be spread by sexual contact; multiple
disease stages occur; children born to infected mothers may be developmentally delayed; antibiotics are effective

Acquired immunodeficiency Caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which ultimately destroys the immune system (see chapter 14);
syndrome (AIDS) transmitted through intimate sexual contact or by allowing infected body fluids into the interior of another person
