4 Program Worksheet Before the Program Activity Number One: Male or Female Test your knowledge Look at the list of reproductive organs below; make a decision: is it male or is it female? Place M in the second column if it is male or F in the second column if it is female. Reproductive Organ Vas deferens Testicle Ovary Urethra Vagina Penis Fallopian Tube Testicle Cervix Seminal Vesicle Uterus Clitoris Vaginal Opening Scrotum Prostate Gland Anus M or F - 4

5 Activity Number Two: Reproduction in men During puberty, a boy's body is transformed into that of a sexually mature man by the action of hormones, principally testosterone that is produced in the testicles. The only function of the male sex cell - the sperm - is to fertilise a female egg and create new life. Organs of the male reproductive system Penis Testicle Scrotum Vas Deferens Urethra Epididymis - 5

6 Functions of the male reproductive system a. Find the phrase below that best describes the function of each of the features of the male reproductive system. b. Write the number of the function in the space provided above 1. Contains erectile tissue that fills with blood during sexual arousal. Semen exits the penis via the urethra. 2. Sex glands located in the scrotum. This feature produces sperm and sex hormones. 3. A network of tubes at the back of each testicle that collect and store immature sperm. 4. A larger tube that transports sperm to the urethra (the urinary passage from the bladder). 5. A sac of skin that provide protection to the testicles. 6. A passageway that carries sperm and urine out of the body. c. Use the organs from above to label the diagram of the male reproductive system. - 6

7 Activity Number Three: Female Reproductive System The female reproductive system is made up of the: vagina uterus fallopian tubes ovaries - 7

13 Activity Number One: Complete the mix and match below to outline the function of the main sections of the female reproductive system. Outline the functions of the features of the reproductive system. Feature of the reproductive system Fallopian tubes Vagina Uterus Ovaries Function A muscular canal around 7.5 cm long that extends from the neck of the womb to the genitals, or vulva. A muscular organ, shaped like an upside down pear. Its lining is called the endometrium. The neck, or entrance, to the womb is the cervix. These tubes extend from the womb, one on each side. They both open near an ovary. These tubes carry the egg (ovum) from the ovary to the womb. Two small almond shaped glands that contain eggs (ova). Sex hormones are also made by the ovaries. Activity Number Two: Tubal Ligation and Vasectomy Below are a set of sentences that explain the process of tubal ligation and vasectomy. Both these processes are surgical procedures that provide a permanent method of contraception for the male and female. Activity The information below is a complete jumble. Reconstruct the information so that you can understand the process of a Tubal Ligation and a Vasectomy. Match the information to the questions below. An operation designed to sterilise a man. Periods will continue as normal, because the ovaries will continue to release the same hormones. This permanent form of contraception involves cutting and tying off certain tubes in the groin so that sperm can't leave the penis. Existing sperm are reabsorbed into the body over time, with no ill effects. The ovaries and uterus are not involved in the surgical procedure. This involves cutting the vas deferens and sometimes tying them off. The egg is broken down and safely reabsorbed by the body. This operation prevents the sperm from ever leaving the testicles. Tubal ligation should be regarded as a permanent method of contraception. The production of his male hormones will also continue unaffected. The fallopian tubes that lead from the ovaries to the uterus are surgically blocked to prevent sperm from reaching and fertilising an egg. The body will harmlessly reabsorb any existing sperm inside his testicles over a period of time. The testicles are shaved. A small cut is made on either side of the scrotum and the surgeon then loops out each vas deferens. Vasectomy Explain the process. How is this process performed? What is the final outcome? Tubal Ligation Explain the process. How is this process performed? What is the final outcome? - 13
