Reproductive System Chapter 25 Flashcards
Primary sexual organs
Gonads
Gamete
Male and female sex cells
Andrology
Male reproductive and urine system study
Basic reproductive anatomy
Five things
Gonads gametes
Ducts,
Male accessory organs and glands
Penis, prostate, bulbourethral glands, seminal vesicles
Female accessory organs and glands
Uterus, Bartholin glands, breast
2 Functions of reproductive system
Produce offspring
Hormone production and secretion
Male reproductive system
STEVE-U
Seminiferous tubule‘s: Sertoli cell sperm born here inside testes
Epididymis: final maturation
Vas deferens: leave epididymis to join seminal fluid at Jack with Tori duct
Ejaculatory: prostate 25%, bulbourethral 5%, Seminole bicycles 60%, sperm 10%
Urethra:
Cells of Leydig
In the testes produce testosterone
FSH
Follicle stimulating hormone from the anterior pituitary stimulates sperm production
Cells of leading
Luteinizing hormone from and Anterior pituitary stimulates interstitial cells of ladybug to produce testosterone
Seminal vesicle
60% of semen volume
Alkaline
Sugar prostaglandins and fibrinogen
Prostaglandins “contraction of smooth muscle” in female reproductive system this helps invoke labor
Nourish sperm on journey
Fibrinogen is a lumping agent
Prostate function
Produce relaxing enhance sperm motility and function
alkaline fluid
Scrotum
Divided pouch
Temperature regulation to facilitate sperm production 4°F cooler
The cremaster muscle draws testes closer to or away from body
Female primary reproductive organ
Ovaries
Estrogens with FSH & LH produced by anterior Pituitary facilitate sequence of events during menses
Estrogen
Development of female sex organs and secondary sex characteristics during puberty
Progesterone
Maintain the uterine lining for implantation and pregnancy
Oocytes
Contained in ovarian follicles (graafian)
Female born with all oocytes they will ever have
