Introduction
• Primary sex organs (gonads) testes in males,
ovaries in females
• Gonads produce sex cell (gametes) and
secrete sex hormones
• Sex hormones androgens (males), estrogens
& progesterone (female)
• Accessory sex organs ducts, glands, external
genitalia
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
• Produce • Transport,
sperm store,
maturation
System
Testes
ducts
Accessory Supporting
sex glands stucture
• Secrete • Scrotum,
liquid penis
Testes /Testicles
• Paired, oval glands in the scrotum
• Membrans: tunica vaginalis, tunica albugenia
• Tunica albugenia: lobules
seminiferous tubulus—produce sperm
• Function
endocrine testosteron
exocrine spermatozoa
Cell type of seminiferous
tubulus

Male reproductive tract
Spermatazoon in testes are not yet capable
of fertilization
Epididymis
spermatazoon complete maturation
as they move through epididymis
(about 2 weeks)
↓
Ductus deferens (vas deferens)
↓
Ejaculatory duct
System ducts
Epididymis
•Sperm maturation, stores &
reabsorbed sperm
Ductus deferens
•Conveys sperm, stores & reabsorb
sperm
Ejaculatory ducts
•Eject sperm & seminal vesicle
secretion
Urethra
•Terminal duct
Accessory sex glands
Seminal • Alkaline & viscous fluid
vesicles • Fructose, prostaglandin,clotting proteins
t. Seminiferous peristaltic
moves spermatozoa to
epididymis
Hormonal Feedback and the Regulation of the
Male Reproductive Function
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
• Ovaries---primary organs
• Accessory organs:
- uterus
- uterine (fallopian) tubes
- vagina
- external genitalia
The uterus
• Muscular organ
– Mechanical protection
– Nutritional support
– Waste removal for the developing embryo and fetus
• Supported by the broad ligament and 3 pairs of
suspensory ligaments
OVIDUCT
Vagina
Vulva
• Mons pubis
• Labia majora
• Labia minora
• Clitoris
Oogenesis
• Ovum production
• Occurs monthly in ovarian follicles
• Part of ovarian cycle
– Follicular phase (preovulatory)
– Luteal phase (postovulatory)
Uterine cycle
• Repeating series of changes in the endometrium
• Continues from menarche to menopause
– Menses
• Degeneration of the endometrium
• Menstruation
– Proliferative phase
• Restoration of the endometrium
– Secretory phase
• Endometrial glands enlarge and accelerate their rates of
secretion
