Endocrine System and Reproductive System

1 Endocrine System and Reproductive System Quick Notes: Endocrine System Reproductive System Responsible for growth and development of the human body Responsible for continuing the species Big Question: How does the Endocrine system relate to the Reproductive system? Input (My Notes) Output (Your Notes) The Endocrine System is responsible for the and of the human body. The Reproductive System is responsible for the. The organs of the Endocrine System are called. Hormones are released by that messages to. The Endocrine System is similar to the System because it has the ability to send and receive messages. The Endocrine System is responsible for the growth and development of the human body. The Endocrine System contains organs called glands that release chemicals called hormones that send messages to other parts of the body to make them develop at the right time, such as a woman developing In males the Endocrine system helps to develop and in females the Endocrine helps to develop. The body uses a hormone known as adrenaline when you are in a situation in which you either have to fight or run away in order to preserve your life. Remember, the adrenal glands are located above your kidney.

2 breast milk once her child is born. The most known organs of the Endocrine System are the pancreas, the adrenal glands above the kidney, the testicles of the male reproductive system, and the ovaries of the female reproductive system. In the males, the most popular hormone is called testosterone, which helps to develop the sex organs of the male body. It is also responsible for the development of facial hair, muscular build, deepening of the voice, pubic hair, etc. In the females, the most popular hormones are progesterone and estrogen, which help to develop the sex organs of the female body. It is also responsible for the development of breasts, voice maturity, pubic hair, the menstrual cycle aka a period, which is a monthly cycle a young adolescent woman releases blood through her uterus and out her vagina as a result of her ovaries not being fertilized by the male s sperm. Once a woman s ovary has been fertilized by a male s sperm, then the menstrual cycle in the woman will stop until the birth of the child. <Critical Thinking> Why do you think the adrenal glands are designed to be above your kidneys? Name a characteristic that the hormone testosterone helps the male body to develop. - Name a characteristic that the hormone progesterone and estrogen helps the female body to develop. - Why does a single woman continue to have a menstrual cycle? The organs of the reproductive system that hormones develop in males are: a. Testicles where sperm are developed b. Penis a male sex organ where semen and urine are excreted from the body The organs of the reproductive system that hormones develop in females are: a. Vagina a female sex organ that receives male sperm and excretes blood during the menstrual cycle and

3 urine from the excretory system. b. Breasts- a female sex organ that provides breast milk for her newborn infant. c. Ovaries-the eggs of the female body that develops a fetus into an embryo once it has come into contact with male sperm. The purpose of the Reproductive system is to continue the species; in humans, it is to make your family s name live on. The beauty and design of the Endocrine and the Reproductive System helps to ensure that a species has the ability to pass on its genes from one generation to another. Sperm is known to have flagella. What organism do you know also has a flagella? Why do you think sperm has flagella? Vocabulary: 1. Endocrine System 2. Hormone 3. Gland 4. Adrenal Glands 5. Testosterone 6. Estrogen and Progesterone 7. Reproductive System 8. Penis 9. Sperm 10. Vagina 11. Breasts 12. Ovaries 13. Menstrual Cycle Colors of the Organs : Endocrine System Thyroid = blue Pancreas= orange Adrenal Glands =Pink Testes=Green Reproductive System Male=Penis =Orange Testes=Green Female=Vagina =Red Ovaries = Yellow Mammary Glands=Pink HW: 1. Define Vocab and 2. Frankenstein Torso of Endocrine System and Reproductive System. Instructions: With your tissue paper, cut out your Frankenstein torso and make legs so that you can add the Reproductive sex organs for the male and the female. You will use both sides of the torso. You should have received 2 Endocrine System Pictures- one for each side of the torso and sex organs for the male and the female side of the torso. Pick a male and a female side, correctly color, label, and define the major organs.
