2 Overview of Reproduction Reproductive System Essentials Gonads (reproductive organs) Testes in males, ovaries in females Gametes (reproductive cells) Spermatazoa in males, ova in females Fertilization Fusion of male and female gamete Zygote Fertilized egg

3 Male Reproductive System Reproductive Organs Testes Enclosed by scrotum Produce spermatazoa (sperm) Epididymis Stores sperm Ductus deferens Conducts sperm outward Within spermatic cord

4 Male Reproductive System Reproductive Organs (cont d) Ejaculatory duct Accessory organs Seminal vesicle Prostate gland Bulbourethral glands Urethra Within penis, an erectile organ

5 Male Reproductive System The Male Reproductive System Figure 19-1

6 Male Reproductive System The Testes Primary sex organ in males Hang within scrotum Dartos muscle wrinkles skin of testes Cremaster muscle lifts testis toward body Tunica albuginea encloses testis

7 Male Reproductive System The Testes (cont d) Septa divide testis into lobules Seminferous tubules within lobule produce sperm Interstitial cells surround tubules Produce testosterone, the main male sex hormone

8 Male Reproductive System Seminiferous Tubules Contain spermatogonia Stem cells for spermatogenesis Contain sustentacular cells Sustain and promote spermatogenesis

9 Male Reproductive System The Scrotum, Testes, and Seminiferous Tubules Figure 19-2(a)

19 Male Reproductive System Key Note Meiosis produces gametes that contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. For each cell entering meiosis, the testes produce four spermatozoa, whereas the ovaries produce only one ovum.

20 Male Reproductive System Male Reproductive Tract Epididymis Long tubule in which sperm mature Secretes tubular fluid Ductus deferens (vas deferens) Ascends within spermatic cord Joins with seminal vesicle Forms ejaculatory duct Urethra Extends from bladder to tip of penis Passageway for urine and semen

21 Male Reproductive System The Ductus Deferens Figure 19-5(a)

22 Male Reproductive System The Ductus Deferens Figure 19-5(b)

23 Male Reproductive System The Accessory Glands Seminal vesicle Secretes 60% of volume of semen Secretes fructose to power the sperm Prostate gland Contributes about 30% of semen volume Bulbourethral glands Secretes alkaline mucus as a lubricant

24 Male Reproductive System Semen Typical ejaculation expels 2 5 ml of semen Called the ejaculate Contains million sperm per ml

25 Male Reproductive System The Penis Penis skin resembles scrotal skin Contains three erectile bodies A pair of corpora cavernosa dorsally A single corpus spongiosum ventrally Urethra passes through it Erection of penis follows dilation of erectile bodies with blood

48 Female Reproductive System Key Note Oogenesis begins during embryonic development, and primary oocyte production is completed before birth. After puberty, each month the ovary produces one or more secondary oocytes from pre-existing primary oocytes. The number of viable primary oocytes declines with age, until ovarian cycles end at age

49 Female Reproductive System The Uterine Tubes End in a funnel-shaped infundibulum Opens into pelvic cavity Ovum enters here after ovulation Ovum moves from infundibulum toward uterus Fertilization must occur during first hours of its passage from infundibulum to uterus

50 Female Reproductive System The Uterus Protects and supports developing embryo Anchored by several ligaments Regions Body Cervix Uterine cavity

51 Female Reproductive System The Uterus (cont d) Wall components Endometrium Lining of cavity Myometrium Smooth muscle layer Perimetrium Serous covering

52 Female Reproductive System The Uterus Figure 19-11

53 Female Reproductive System The Uterine Cycle Also called, menstrual cycle Typically, 28 days long Begins with Onset of menses Loss of the functional zone of endometrium Lasts one to seven days

54 Female Reproductive System The Uterine Cycle (cont d) Proliferative phase follows menses Repair, growth of functional zone of endometrium Secretory phase follows Endometrial glands become active Uterus prepared for embryo Menarche First menses Menopause Cycles stop

55 Female Reproductive System The Vagina Muscular tube between uterus and external genitalia Highly elastic, distensible Partially blocked by hymen Thin fold of epithelium

56 Female Reproductive System Functions of the Vagina Convey menstrual fluid Receive penis during intercourse Hold semen after ejaculation Passageway for fetus during birth

57 Female Reproductive System The External Genitalia Also called, vulva Components of vulva Vestibule Labia minora Clitoris Labia majora Mons pubis Vestibular glands

58 Female Reproductive System The Female External Genitalia Figure 19-12

59 Female Reproductive System The Mammary Glands Located within the breast Specialized organs of the integumentary system Produce milk to nourish the infant Lactation The processes of milk synthesis and secretion by cells of the mammary glands Stimulated by hormones

60 Female Reproductive System Mammary Gland of the Left Breast Figure 19-13

61 Female Reproductive System Hormones and the Reproductive Cycle Coordinate ovarian and uterine cycles Estradiol The estrogen that dominates follicular phase of ovarian cycle Progesterone The progestin that dominates luteal phase of ovarian cycle Ovulation triggered by mid-cycle LH surge Hypothalamic secretion of GnRH triggers pituitary to release FSH, LH

62 Female Reproductive System Hormonal Regulation of the Female Reproductive Cycle Figure 19-14

63 Female Reproductive System Hormonal Regulation of the Female Reproductive Cycle Figure 19-14(a)

64 Female Reproductive System Hormonal Regulation of the Female Reproductive Cycle Figure 19-14(b)

65 Female Reproductive System Hormonal Regulation of the Female Reproductive Cycle Figure 19-14(c)

66 Female Reproductive System Hormonal Regulation of the Female Reproductive Cycle Figure 19-14(d)

67 Female Reproductive System Hormonal Regulation of the Female Reproductive Cycle Figure 19-14(e)

68 Female Reproductive System Key Note Cyclic changes in FSH and LH levels are responsible for the maintenance of the ovarian cycle; the hormones produced by the ovaries in turn regulate the uterine cycle.

69 Physiology of Sexual Intercourse Male Sexual Function Arousal Erotic thoughts, sensations lead to parasympathetic activity Erection Sympathetic activity increases blood flow into erectile tissues of penis

70 Physiology of Sexual Intercourse Male Sexual Function (cont d) Coitus Sexual intercourse increases sensation Emission Ejaculation Orgasm Associated with strong contractions

71 Physiology of Sexual Intercourse Female Sexual Function Phases of sexual arousal resemble the male s Parasympathetic activity during arousal Clitoral erection Muscular contraction associated with orgasm

72 Reproductive System and Aging Menopause Time when menstruation and ovulation cease Normally occurs about age 50 Production of sex steroids drops Estrogen, progesterone Production of regulatory hormones rise GnRH, FSH, LH Negative feedback effect

73 Reproductive System and Aging The Male Climacteric Onset at about age Hormone levels change Testosterone levels drop FSH, LH levels rise Negative feedback effect Sperm quantity and quality decline

74 The Reproductive System in Perspective FIGURE Functional Relationships Between the Reproductive System and Other Systems Figure of 11

75 The Integumentary System Covers external genitalia; provides sensations that stimulate sexual behaviors; mammary gland secretions provide nourishment for newborn Reproductive hormones affect distribution of body hair and subcutaneous fat deposits Figure of 11

76 The Skeletal System Pelvis protects reproductive organs of females, portion of ductus deferens and accessory glands in males Sex hormones stimulate growth and maintenance of bones; sex hormones at puberty accelerate growth and closure of epiphyseal cartilages Figure of 11

77 The Muscular System Contractions of skeletal muscles eject semen from male reproductive tract; muscle contractions during sexual act produce pleasurable sensations in both sexes Reproductive hormones, especially testosterone, accelerate skeletal muscle growth Figure of 11

78 The Nervous System Controls sexual behaviors and sexual function Sex hormones affect CNS development and sexual behaviors Figure of 11

79 The Endocrine System Hypothalamic regulatory hormones and pituitary hormones regulate sexual development and function; oxytocin stimulates smooth muscle contractions in uterus and mammary glands Steroid sex hormones and inhibin inhibit secretory activities of hypothalamus and pituitary gland Figure of 11

80 The Cardiovascular System Distributes reproductive hormones; provides nutrients, oxygen, and waste removal for fetus; local blood pressure changes responsible for physical changes during sexual arousal Estrogens may help maintain healthy vessels and slow development of atherosclerosis Figure of 11

81 The Lymphatic System Provides IgA for secretions by epithelial glands; assists in repairs and defense against infection Lysosomes and bactericidal chemicals in secretions provide nonspecific defense against reproductive tract infections Figure of 11

82 The Respiratory System Provides oxygen and removes carbon dioxide generated by tissues of reproductive system Changes in respiratory rate and depth occur during sexual arousal, under control of the nervous system Figure of 11

83 The Digestive System Provides additional nutrients required to support gamete production and (in pregnant women) embryonic and fetal development Figure of 11

84 The Urinary System Urethra in males carries semen to exterior; kidneys remove wastes generated by reproductive tissues and (in pregnant women) by a growing embryo and fetus Accessory organ secretions may have antibacterial action that helps prevent urethral infections in males Figure of 11
