Learning Competencies/Objectives
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. Describe the parts of the nervous, endocrine, and
reproductive systems, along with their functions.
2.Explain the role of hormones involved in the female and

male reproductive systems.
3.Describe the feedback mechanisms in regulating
processes in the female reproductive system.
4.Describe how the nervous system coordinates and
regulates feedback mechanisms to maintain homeostasis.
LESSON 1 :
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
The morphological and physiological structure of
the male reproductive system are different from
the female reproductive system.
 the external and internal parts differ in size
and shape as well as its functions.
 Though the parts and functions of the
reproductive system are different in some
aspects, they are coordinated parts and
functions.
 The role of the male reproductive system is
to produce and transport the sperm cells
while;
 The female reproductive system is to
produce egg cells and for child bearing.
 Without the fusion of the gamete from the
testis of the male organ with the gamete
from the female organ, reproduction will
not occur.
Male Reproductive system
URETHRA - is the tube
that passes through the
penis to the outside of
the body, which carries
urine and sperm.
PENIS – is a soft, tubular organ that hangs front of
the body and is the external sexual organ of the
male through which the sperm are delivered into
the female’s body.
It contains erectile tissue in which the penis
becomes larger and stiffer due to increase flow of
blood during ejaculation.
TESTES- are made up of coiled tubules in
which the sperm are produce. They produced
the male sex hormones called testosterone for
the production of sperm.
TESTES- are made up of coiled tubules in
which the sperm are produce. They produced
the male sex hormones called testosterone for
the production of sperm.
SCROTUM - is a pouch of the skin that hangs
behind the penis, houses the testes, and
protects the sperm by keeping the
temperature of the testes slightly lower than
the normal body temperature in order for the
sperm to survive.
VAS DEFERENS - is the tube that receives
sperm from the epididymis of each testicles.
EPIDIDYMIS - is a coiled J- SHAPED tube
located on the back of each testicles. It stores
the sperms for two to four days after they
have been produced.
SEMINAL VESICLES- are sac-like pouches that attach to
the vas deferens. It secretes an alkaline fluid that helps
regulate the pH of the semen. It also contains fructose
as an energy source of the sperm.
PROSTATE GLAND- is a doughnut shape gland that is
located below the urinary bladder in front of the rectum.
 It contains several small ducts that open into the
urethra.
 It also secretes an alkaline and milky fluid that maintain
the pH of the semen.
 It also activates the swimming movements of the
sperm.
The glands and ducts of the Male Reproductive Organ
Male Organs that Specific Function
work together
The vas deferens is about 18 inches (45 centimeters ) long and

Vas deferens loops over the bladder
The valve within the urethra prevents the mixing of urine and
Urethra sperm.
The two seminal vesicles at the base of the bladder secrete a

Seminal vesicles thick fluid that nourishes the sperm.
The ejaculatory ducts are the tubes that are lined with muscles .
Ejaculatory ducts Contract to force the semen out of the body during ejaculation.
THE SPERM CELL
The Sperm cell is produced is produced by

the testes. It fertilizes the egg to become a
matured ovum. Males have a pair of testes
found inside the scrotum. Male produce
millions of minute sperm cells, which can be
observed only under the microscope.
THE SPERM CELL
The sperms cells which come from the testes, travel in
the epididymis where they are temporarily stored until
they are released. The sperm cells are released and
move along the vas deferens. along the way, the
sperms are combined with the nutrient secretions
from the prostate gland and seminal vesicles.
This mixture is called semen. The semen will be
transported into the urethra and out of the penis
Male Reproductive system
Parts and functions of the Female Reproductive System
OVARIES - the two ovaries are small and
almond – shaped organs. they are located
on each side of the body,
 a few inches below the waist. Just like the
testes , they secrete hormones called
estrogen and progesterone to produce
mature egg cells.
 The eggs begin to mature when the
female reaches puberty, during the
puberty, the ovaries usually produce and
release one ripened egg every 28 days.
This process is called ovulation.
FALLOPIAN TUBE- these are two very
fine tubes that extended from each
ovary into the uterus.
 Their main functions is to contain

the egg until fertilization takes place
and to provide a passageway leading
the sperm to the egg and the
fertilized egg to the uterus.
UTERUS or WOMB- the uterus
is the hollow, muscular, pear-
shaped organ located between
the two ovaries. It is here that a
fertilized egg will develop and
grow into a baby. However,
• If the egg remains unfertilized,
the uterus sheds, then leave
the body as menstrual
discharge.
 The walls of the uterus are composed of the
three layers. The endometrium is a layer
with mucus that lines the interior of the
uterus.
 The myometrium is a thick layer of muscles
that forms the wall thickness.
 The perimetrium is a thin layer that lines
the exterior of the uterus.
CERVIX – it is a narrow
structure within an inch-
long canal connecting the
lower end of the uterus to
the upper portion of the
vagina.
VAGINA or BIRTH CANAL – the
vagina or birth canal is the
hollow tube leading from the
cervix to the outside of the
body. The wall is elastic, which
allows it to expand during
childbirth and sexual
intercourse.
Other roles of the reproductive hormones
GLAND HORMONES FUNCTIONS
TESTES Regulates the development of the male sex
TESTOSTERONE organs in embryo.
It also controls sex drive and secondary sex
characteristics at puberty.
It controls sex drive and regulates the

OVARIES ESTROGEN development of female secondary sex
(FEMALE) characteristics at puberty
It controls the development of endometrium

PROGESTERONE ( mucus membrane lining the womb) during
the menstrual cycle and maintenance of
uterus during the pregnancy.
