2. Introduction
The function of the
reproductive system is
human reproduction.
Human reproduction
results from the union of
a female sex cell and a
male sex cell.
3. Female reproductive system
The Vagina
Hallow, pear shaped
muscular organ.
Located in the anterior
portion of the pelvic
cavity.
Three areas of the uterus:
Body
Isthmus
Neck or cervix
4. Female reproductive system
Fallopian Tubes
Also called uterine tubes
or oviducts
Found laterally on either
side of the uterus
Move the ovum from
the ovaries to the uterus
6. Female reproductive system
The Vagina
A musculomembranous tube
that extends from the
uterus to the vestibule.
Functions of the uterus
include:
Copulation
Passageway for discharge
of menstruation
Birth canal
7. Female reproductive system
Vulva consists of 5 organs
that comprise the external
female genitalia:
Mons pubis
Labia majoria
Labia minoria
Vestibule
Clitoris
The area between the vulva
and the anus is the
perineum.
8. Female reproductive system
Breasts
Mammary glands
Provide milk for infants
Prolactin stimulates the
production of milk
Menstrual Cycle
The onset is called
menarche.
Cessation is called
menopause.
Repeats approximately
every 28 days
9. Male reproductive system
Purpose is to provide
sperm cells to the ovum.
Consists of the following:
Testes and ducts
Urethra
Accessory glands;
bulbourethral, prostate
and seminal vesicles
Accessory sex organs;
scrotum and penis
10. Male reproductive system
External organs
External organs consist
of the scrotum and the
penis.
Scrotum contains
smooth muscle fibers
that contract, allowing
for viability of the
spermatozoa.
11. Male reproductive system
Internal Organs
Testes (gonads)-site of
development of the male
reproductive cells & the
hormone testosterone
Epidydymis- coiled tube
13-20 feet in length, ends
at the ductus deferens;
maturation of sperm
cells.
12. Male reproductive system
Ductus deferens- vas
deferens, it is the
excretory duct of the
testes
Seminal vesicles- store
sperm and produce
semen.
Prostate gland-lies
below the bladder and
secretes fluid into the
semen.
13. Male reproductive system
Bulbourethral gland-
secrete mucous
secretion into the
seminal fluid before
ejaculation.
Urethra- extends from
the bladder to the
urethral orifice (meatus)
14. Prostate cancer warning signs
The following are some potential prostate cancer
warning signs or signs of BPH:
incomplete emptying of the bladder
dribbling
difficulty starting urination
reduced force of the stream
frequent urination of small amounts
pain with urination
ejaculation pain
blood in the urine
