1 Reproductive System Project Students will research the Structure, Function, and Pathology of both male and female reproductive system parts. The students will have several periods in the library to research and find this information for all of the parts listed on the following page. Once all of this information has been gathered the students will then trace the path the sperm takes to reach the egg (conception) and then continue to trace the path of the fertilized egg ending the tracing at implantation. Students will need to have this assignment typed with a structure, function, and pathology description for each part. The following are the specifics students will be graded on in the project: Section 1: Definition One or two sentences giving a brief description of the part. USE A DICTIONARY. Structure This refers to how the part is built. Where is the part in relation to the rest of the body and other reproductive system parts? How would you describe it based upon the information you have researched? Function This refers to what the part is responsible for. What does it do? Each part has a specific responsibility and in this section you should be specific about what each part is responsible for and how it contributes to the reproductive system. Pathology In this section we will explore what could go wrong with each part. There are various diseases, cancers, and problems that each part could face. I would like to know the most common problems. In this section you should describe these problems (at least two) and talk about how they can happen and what the results of these problems are. Diagram This is an educational piece that enables the reader to make correlations between structure, function, and pathology. Diagrams should be taken from the websites and sources given by the instructor.

2 Section 2: Tracing - In this portion of the project the students will follow the path of the sperm from its creation (spermatogenesis) to the egg (conception), egg (Oogenesis) to sperm (conception), and finally implantation. Each part that the sperm passes should be accurately described. Each part that the egg passes should be accurately described. Students will be graded this portion based upon the accuracy of the tracing (each tracing should be in correct order and sequence) and upon the accuracy of the description of each part passed. The tracing portion of the project should be completed on a typed paper entitled, Tracings. The student should have three separate tracings to describe: the path of the sperm to meet the egg, the path of the egg to meet the sperm, and the path of the fertilized egg to implantation.

Testes 2. Epididymis 3. Vas deferens 4. Semen 5. Sperm 6. Prostate 7. Urethra 8. Penis (shaft & glanz) 9. Seminiferous tubules 10. Seminal vesicles 11. Bladder 11. Progesterone

4 Reproductive System Project List of Requirements for Reproductive System Project 1. Minimum of five pages TYPED report (12 font times new roman) 2. Definition is included for each part. 3. Detailed description(s) of the STRUCTURE of each part, what does it look like, where is it located, how is it built 4. Detailed description(s) of the FUNCTION of each part, how does this part work in relation to reproduction, what is this part responsible for 5. Detailed description(s) of the possible PATHOLOGY (problems) or things that could go wrong with each part. 6. A minimum of one educational diagram should be used to explain each part. This picture DOES NOT count towards the one page requirement. 7. Plagiarism will get you an automatic F(0). You can use other resources BUT you must put the project into your own words. 8. You will need at least 4 sources, other than your book, which must be cited on a separate sheet of paper. Title this page references or works cited. 9. Please create a cover page for your project and attach the rubric below to the back of your project. 10. Sections clearly defined: I can tell which section is section 1 and the start of section Tracing: clear flow from one structure to the next. 3 separate parts a. Spermatogenesis to conception b. Oogenesis to conception c. Fertilized egg to implantation
