    Reproductive System

    Uploaded by

    Mary Grace Novida
    This document provides an overview of the male and female reproductive systems. It describes the key organs involved in reproduction for both males (penis, scrotum, testes, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, urethra) and females (vagina, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes). It explains the processes of sperm production and maturation in the male, egg production and maturation in the female, and fertilization when sperm and egg unite in the fallopian tubes. Diagrams illustrate the journeys of both sperm and egg cells through the reproductive systems.

    Our Body

    Systems
    Reproduction- is the biological
    process of producing offspring of
    the same kind.
    Why do we need
    to reproduce?
    • To ensure survival of the species
    • To produce egg and sperm cells
    • To transport and sustain these cells
    • To nurture the developing offspring
    • To produce hormones
    Male Reproductive
    System
    Male
    Penis
    - It is the male external
    genitalia. It contains
    spongy tissue that
    becomes turgid and
    erect when filled with
    blood.
    Male
    Scrotum
    - It is a sac of
    thick skin that
    protects and
    surrounds the
    testes.

    Male
    Duct System
    Vas Deferens
    - transports mature
    sperm to the
    urethra
    Epididymis
    - sperm mature
    in epididymis
    Male

    Seminal vesicles
    – attached to
    vas deferens
    – produce a
    sugar- rich fluid
    that provides
    energy to sperm
    Male

    Prostate Gland
    – makes fluid
    Bulbourethral gland
    Produces a clear, slippery fluid into the
    urethra during sexual intercourse.
    Male
    Urethra
    – tube that carries
    urine from the
    bladder to
    outside of the
    body
    – also carries
    sperm out of the
    body

    Vagina
    – canal that joins
    the cervix to
    the outside of
    the body
    – also is known
    as the birth
    canal
    Female

    Uterus
    – hollow organ that
    is the home to a
    developing fetus
    Female

    Ovaries
    – produce eggs
    and
    hormones
    – oval-shaped
    glands that are
    located on either
    side of the
    uterus
    Female
    Fallopian Tubes
    – tunnels for the
    egg cell to
    travel from the
    ovaries to the
    uterus
    – where
    fer tilization
    happens

    Magic of

    Male + Female =

    Sperm

    cell
    Male + Female =
    Fertilization
    -fertilization of an egg by a sperm,
    normally occurs in the fallopian tubes

    - fertilized egg cell is called a zygote

    - t he zygote then moves to the


    uterus, where it implants into
    the lining of the uterine wall
    Amnion
    - transparent
    sac that
    protects the
    baby inside
    - filled with
    amniotic fluid
