Day 1

• Male Reproductive System

3
Stress can affect you in both positive and
negative ways.
4
The male reproductive system is a series of
organs involved in producing children.
5

• sperm
• testosterone
• testes
• scrotum
• penis
• semen
• sterility

6
How Male Reproduction Works
The male reproductive system includes both
external and internal organs that, with the help
of hormones, allow physically mature males to
produce children.
7
How Male Reproduction Works

• The two main functions of the male reproductive
  system are to produce and store sperm and
  transfer them to the females body during sexual
  intercourse.

Sperm
Male gametes
8
How Male Reproduction Works

• Hormones produced in the pituitary gland
  stimulate the production of testosterone, which
  initiates physical changes that signal maturity.

Testosterone
The male sex hormone
9
How Male Reproduction Works

• Testosterone may spur the development of muscles
  in adolescence.

10
External Reproductive Organs

• A males external reproductive organs include the
  testes, the penis, and the scrotum.

Testes
Two small glands that secrete testosterone and
produce sperm
11
External Reproductive Organs

• The testes are located in the scrotum.

Scrotum
An external skin sac
12
External Reproductive Organs

• The penis is composed of spongy tissue that
  contains many blood vessels.

Penis
A tube-shaped organ that extends from the trunk
of the body just above the testes
13
External Reproductive Organs

• When the penis becomes erect, semen can be
  ejected from the body.

Semen
A thick fluid containing sperm and other
secretions from the male reproductive system
14
Internal Reproductive Organs

• Sperm must travel through the vas deferens, the
  urethra, the seminal vesicles, and the prostate
  and Cowpers glands before they are released from
  the body.

15
Maintaining Reproductive Health
Male reproductive health involves care and
monitoring throughout a males lifetime.
As with any other body system, the male

  intestines push through a tear in the abdominal
  wall.
•

lower than body temperature.

24
The female reproductive system matures at puberty
and enables women to reproduce.
25

• eggs
• ovaries
• uterus
• ovulation

• fallopian tubes
• vagina
• menstruation
• cervix

26
Female Reproductive Organs

enable pregnancy to occur with the first monthly
ovulation.

  functions, including producing female sex
  hormones and storing the eggs.

Eggs
Female gametes
28
Female Reproductive Organs

• A female at birth has more than 400,000 immature
  ova in her ovaries.

Ovaries
The female sex glands that store the ova, or
eggs, and produce female sex hormones
29
Female Reproductive Organs

• The ovaries are located on each side of the
  uterus.

Uterus
The hollow, muscular, pear-shaped organ that
nourishes and protects a fertilized ovum until
birth
30
Female Reproductive Organs

• The process of ovulation is controlled by the
  release of luteinizing hormone by the pituitary
  gland.

Ovulation
The process of releasing a mature ovum into the
fallopian tube each month
31
Female Reproductive Organs

• A mature ovum is released from an ovary and moves
  into one of the two fallopian tubes.

draw in the ovum
32
Female Reproductive Organs
Cervix
The cervix is the opening of the uterus.
The uterus protects and nourishes a developing
fetus.
Uterus

Ovaries
Ova travel to the uterus through the fallopian
tubes.
Fallopian Tubes
Endometrium

The passageway from the uterus to the outside of
the body.
Vagina
33
Female Reproductive Organs

• Sperm from the male enter the female reproductive
  system through the vagina.

Vagina
A muscular, elastic passageway that extends from
the uterus to the outside of the body
34
Female Reproductive Organs

• The fertilization of an egg by a sperm produces a
  cell called a zygote.
•  
• When the zygote leaves the fallopian tube, it
  enters the uterus and attaches itself to the
  uterine wall. The fetus remains in the uterus
  until birth.

35
Female Reproductive Organs

• After a female matures, the uterus prepares each
  month for possible pregnancy. If pregnancy
  doesnt occur, menstruation occurs.

Menstruation
The shedding of the uterine lining
36
Female Reproductive Organs

  and into the vagina.
