Module 3 Flashcards
➢Stimulates sexual
response, such as
erection and ejaculation
in males and erection of
the clitoris in females
➢Sex hormones influence CNS development and sexual behaviors
NERVOUS SYSTEM
➢ Stimulate the onset of puberty
and sexual characteristics
➢ Stimulates gametes formation
➢ Promote uterine contraction for
delivery
➢ Makes possible and regulates
milk production
➢ Testosterone, estrogen and
inhibin regulate the release of hormones from the hypothalamus and pituitary
gland
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
➢Pelvis protects internal
reproductive organs and developing fetus
➢Estrogen and
testosterone regulates bone growth and closure of the epiphyseal plate
SKELETAL SYSTEM
➢ Pelvic floor muscle support
internal reproductive organs,
such as the uterus
➢ Responsible for ejaculation
➢ Cremaster muscle help
regulate testes temperature
➢ Abdominal muscle assist in
delivery
➢ Sex hormones increase
muscle growth
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
➢Delivers oxygen,
nutrients, hormones and
immune cells
➢Remove carbon dioxide,
waste products and toxins
➢Vasodilation necessary
for erection
➢Estrogen may slow the
development of
atherosclerosis
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
➢ Mammary glands
produce milk
➢Areolar glands prevent
chafing during nursing
➢Covers external
genitalia
➢Sex hormones increase
sebum production
(contributing to acne),
secrete apocrine glands
secretion (contributing to
body odor) and stimulate
axillary and pubic hair
growth
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
➢Immune cells provide
against microorganisms
and toxins and promote
tissue repair by releasing chemical
mediators
➢Removes excess interstitial fluid
➢Blood-testes barrier
isolates and protects
sperm from the immune
system
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
AND IMMUNITY
➢Provide oxygen and
removes carbon dioxide
➢Helps maintain the body’s
pH
➢Sexual arousal increases
respiration
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
➢Provides nutrients
➢Developing fetus crowds
digestive organs
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
➢ Removes waste production
➢ Helps maintain the body’s pH,
ions and water balance
➢ Urethra common passageway
for sperm cells and urine in
males
➢ Developing fetus compresses
the urinary bladder
URINARY SYSTEM
