LESSON PREVIEW/ REVIEW

2. I learned the things about the Urinary Incontinence of Bladder Control.
3. I learned the process on how fluid-filled cysts developed in the Kidneys.
4. I learned what are the chronic diseases that can lead to kidney failure.
5. I learned the different diseases and disorders that affects our Urinary System.
MAIN LESSON
You will study and read their book, if available, about this lesson.
Introduction to the Reproductive System
❖ The major function of the reproductive system is to ensure survival of the species.
❖ Other systems in the body, such as the endocrine and urinary systems, work continuously to maintain
homeostasis for survival of the individual.
❖ An individual may live a long, healthy, and happy life without producing offspring, but if the species is to continue, at least
some individuals must produce offspring.
Within the context of producing offspring, the reproductive system has four functions:
● To produce egg and sperm cells
● To transport and sustain these cells
● To nurture the developing offspring
● To produce hormones
These functions are divided between the primary and secondary, or accessory, reproductive organs.
● The primary reproductive organs, or gonads, consist of the ovaries and testes.
o These organs are responsible for producing the egg and sperm cells gametes), and hormones.
o These hormones function in the maturation of the reproductive system, the development of sexual
characteristics, and regulation of the normal physiology of the reproductive system.
● All other organs, ducts, and glands in the reproductive system are considered secondary, or accessory,
reproductive organs.
o These structures transport and sustain the gametes and nurture the developing offspring.

Education (Department of Nursing) 1 of 4
STAGES OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
1. Conception
2. Zygote (first through third day).
3. Blastocyst (second day through second week)
a. By the end of the 2nd week, implants itself in uterine wall ("nidation")
4. Embryo (third through eighth week)
a. Occasional primitive heart contractions at 2 weeks;
b. Heart pumps blood and ECG tracing looks normal by 4th to 5th week;
c. Some brain activity by the end of the 6th week;
d. Normal heart functioning after the end of the 7th week.
5. Fetus (9th week until birth)
a. develops fingernails, vocal chords, taste buds, and salivary glands and begins to urinate (3rd month)
b. "quickening" = spontaneous movement, between the 13th and 20th week (3rd, 4th or 5th month).
c. develops hair and eyelashes (5th month)
d. "viability" = fetus can survive outside the mother; occurs at approximately the 24th week. (By
convention, "fetus" is sometimes used generically to refer to all the stages of pregnancy.)
6. Infant (birth until one year)
a. Meltzoff research--rudimentary shape concepts
b. self-motivated activity
7. Child (ages 1 year to 12 years)
a. capacity to communicate
b. presence of self-concepts and self-awareness
c. reasoning (developed capacity to solve new and relatively complex problems)
d. morally responsible
CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING

You will answer and rationalize this by yourself. This will be recorded as your quiz. One (1) point will be given to the correct answer
and another one (1) point for the correct ratio. Superimpositions or erasures in your answer/ratio is not allowed.
1. After fertilization the zygote goes through a rapid period of cell divisions called .
a. Organogenesis c. Teratogenesis
b. Blastulation d. Cleavage
ANSWER: D
RATIO: Cleavage is the zygote's recurrent mitotic division, which produces an increasing number of cells. Blastomeres are the
offspring cells produced by these divisions.
2. Implantation is usually completed after .

a. the amnion has formed
b. gastrulation has occurred
c. the nervous system forms
d. the blastocyst is entirely surrounded by endometrium
ANSWER: D
RATIO: Implantation, which takes about a week, is usually completed after the blastocyst is entirely surrounded by endometrium
(typically 12 days after ovulation).
3. The outermost embryonic membrane is the .

a. yolk sac c. chorion
b. amnion d. placenta
e. allantois
ANSWER: C
RATIO: The chorion is a double-layered membrane made up of trophoblast and extraembryonic mesoderm that gives rise to the fetal
portion of the placenta.
4. Which of the following is NOT a function of the placenta?

a. waste elimination
b. hormone production
c. respiratory gas transfer
d. urine formation

ANSWER: D
RATIO: All of the options are the function of the placenta except Option D which is the urine formation.
5. The heart begins to beat in the developing offspring .

a. at birth
b. at conception
c. at 3-4 months
d. when it becomes a fetus
e. at about 3 1/2 weeks
ANSWER: E
RATIO: The heart of an embryo starts to beat from around 5–6 weeks of pregnancy. Also, it may be possible to see the first visible sign
of the embryo, known as the fetal pole, at this stage.

LESSON WRAP-UP
You will now mark (encircle) the session you have finished today in the tracker below. This is simply a visual to help you track how
much work you have accomplished and how much work there is left to do.
You are done with the session! Let’s track your progress.

AL Activity: CHAIN NOTES
Answer the following questions based on your learnings and this will be used to improve the learning strategies to be used in the
future.
1. What are the functions of the reproductive system?
The major function of the reproductive system is to ensure the survival of the species. It has a direct relation in both
endocrine and urinary system in maintaining homeostasis needed for the survival of an individual.
2. Give the stages of human development.
The stages of Human Development are:
1. Conception
2. Zygote
3. Blastocyst
4. Embryo
5. Fetus
6. Infant
7. Child
