What I Need to Know
The purpose of this module is to help you understand the organism as
having feedback mechanisms that help maintain homeostasis to reproduce and
survive.
The module is divided into two lessons, namely:
● Lesson 1 – Parts and Functions of Male and Female Reproductive Systems
● Lesson 2 – Effects of Hormonal Secretion in Human Reproductive System
After going through this module, you are expected to explain the role of
hormones involved in the female and male reproductive systems.

After the sperm cells are produced in the testes, they will enter the
epididymis where the sperms will continue to develop and mature. When sperm
cells are capable of moving, they move into a long tube called vas deferens. Along
the vas deferens, three glands are connected. These glands are the seminal
vesicles, the prostate gland, and the bulbourethral glands. The glands secrete
fluids that give nourishment and energy to sperm cells as well as to ease their
passage through the female reproductive system. The mixture of these seminal
fluids with the sperm cells is called semen. Sperm cells leave the body by passing
through the urethra, which forms a common duct with vas deferens, thus the
urethra serves as a common passageway of semen and urine. The penis, as the
copulatory organ, completes the task of the male reproductive system by
discharging the sperm within the female reproductive system to increase the
chance of meeting and fertilizing an egg cell.

7. How are the hypothalamus, the pituitary glands, and gonads (ovaries and

What Is It
The reproductive system starts to become functional when males and
females are in the puberty stage. At the age of 12 to 15 years old, the
hypothalamus in the brain becomes active in producing Gonadotropin-releasing
Hormone (GnRH). Once this hormone is released, it will act on the anterior
pituitary gland found in the brain. The anterior pituitary gland produces two
hormones that target both the cells of the testes and ovaries. Two hormones,
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) will be
produced by the anterior pituitary gland. When FSH is released it will be carried by
the blood to the gonads. In both males and females, FSH triggers the meiotic
division of sperm cells in the testes and egg cells in the ovary, giving rise to haploid
sex cells. The LH release from the anterior pituitary gland also targets the gonads.
However, its effect on the testes and ovaries is to produce sex hormones.

cells also regulate the production of FSH in the pituitary gland by producing
Activin and Inhibin proteins. The Activin stimulates the pituitary gland to produce
more FSH while the Inhibin signals the pituitary gland to stop producing FSH. The
Leydig cells are the ones that produce the hormone testosterone. Spermatogenesis
needs a great amount of testosterone. From Leydig cells where testosterone is
made, it attaches to the protein, Androgen-binding protein, produced by the
Sertoli cells, thus increasing the concentration of testosterone in the seminiferous
tubules which are needed to continue the production of sperm cells.

stop in the first meiotic division and will resume and be completed after an egg cell
is fertilized by the sperm cell.
When the FSH, from the anterior pituitary gland, reaches the ovaries, the
follicle cells that enclose an egg cell start to grow and mature. Likewise, the
secondary oocyte inside the follicle undergoes growth and maturation. While the
follicle cells are growing and maturing, the cells produce and secrete estrogen and
inhibin. Estrogen is the main sex hormone in females. Once it is released by the
ovary through the follicle, it causes changes in the body that makes females look
feminine like developed breast and broad hips. The estrogen also maintains the
lining of the uterus by allowing the endometrial cells to grow. The other protein,
inhibin, signals the anterior pituitary gland and hypothalamus to stop producing
and releasing FSH, eventually preventing another follicle and egg cell to develop. The
ovary is also activated by another hormone from the anterior pituitary gland, the
luteinizing hormone (LH). The LH also stimulates the follicle cells to grow and
mature, inducing the follicle to break open, releasing the mature egg cell shown in
figure K. This stage is called ovulation. After ovulation, the ruptured follicle changed
its form into a gland called the corpus luteum. It is described as a gland because it
produces and secretes another female hormone called progesterone. The effect of
progesterone, in general, is to prepare the female's body for a possible pregnancy.
This hormone causes further thickening of the endometrium of the uterus. It also
signals the posterior pituitary gland to secrete hormones like Prolactin for milk
production in the mammary glands and Oxytocin, for later use, causing muscular
contraction during childbirth.
