(8) Involvment of the Bladder in the Male&Female reproductive system (1) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Stores urine until it is released through the urethra in males and females.
(8) Involvment of the Cervix in the Female reproductive system (3) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Opening to the mucus plug, upper end of vagina. Develops a mucus plug during pregnancy to keep in the amniotic fluid. Expands from less than 1cm opening to 10cm during labour.
(8) Involvment of the Cowper’s Gland in the Male reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Serves as a lubricant for sperm. Cleanses the urethra of acidic urine.
(8) Involvment of the Endometrium in the Female reproductive system (3) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Allows for implantation of a fertilized egg. Becomes the placenta if pregnancy occurs. Sheds off if pregnancy doesn’t occur.
(8) Involvment of the Epididymis in the Male reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Matures and stores sperm.
(8) Involvment of the Estrogen in the Female reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Causes the uterus to begin to develop the endometrium. Causes luteinizing hormone to be produced.
(8) Involvment of the Fallopian Tube in the Female reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Where the egg and sperm meet up and become fertilized.
Leads to the uterus for pregnancy.
(8) Involvment of the Egg (ovule) in the Female reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Makes the characteristics of the child. develops into a new organism when fertilized.
(8) Involvment of the Ovary in the Female reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Stores and releases eggs. Produces estrogen and progesterone.
(8) Involvment of the Penis in the Male reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
It delivers sperm into the female reproductive tract. Used in urination.
Involvment of the Prostate gland in the Male reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Helps activate sperm. Gives sperm Zinc to stabilize DNA.
(8) Involvment of the Scrotum in the Male reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Maintains testes at 34°C to keep sperm alive. Raises and lowers depending on the temperature outside.
(8) Involvment of the Seminiferous tubules in the Male reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
produces, maintains, and stores the sperm.
(8) Involvment of the Seminal vesicles in the Male reproductive system (2)
Uses hormones to help sperm sneak through the female system. Gives sperm Fructose for energy and Vitamin C for motility.
(8) Involvment of the Sperm in the Male reproductive system (2)
Fertilizes the egg which forms a zygote. Has DNA used to create a new individual when combined with an egg’s DNA.
(8) Involvment of the Testis in the Male reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Contains Seminiferous tubules. Produces millions of sperm each day.
(8) Involvment of the Testosterone in the Male reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
used in sperm production. Keeps the penis erect during sexual intercourse.
(8) Involvment of the Urethra in the Male&Female reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Connects to the bladder to an opening just above the vaginal opening in females. Carries urine and sperm in males.
(8) Involvment of the Uterus in the Female reproductive system (3) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
receives a fertilized egg and nourishes it. Expands throughout pregnancy and contracts to push out the baby during delivery.
(8) Involvment of the Vagina in the Female reproductive system (2)
Serves as a birth canal. Receives the penis during sexual intercourse.
(8) Involvment of the Vas Deferens in the Male reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation.
(8) Involvment of the Clitoris in the Female reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Can improve the chance of a woman becoming pregnant. Has a corpus cavernosum that will become erect during sexual intercourse.
(8) Involvment of the Labia Majora in the Female reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Protects the inner and more sensitive parts of the vulva.
(8) Involvment of the Labia Minora in the Female reproductive system (2) IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Glands produce a fluid for lubrication during sexual intercourse.
