REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

The system involve in sexual reproduction is called the reproductive system. There
is a striking difference between the male and the female reproductive system, although
they also share a number of similarities.

The Male Reproductive System

 Testis- produces sperm cells.

 Scrotum- sac of skin that holds the testis.

 Penis- deposits sperms into the vagina during mating.

 Vas deferens (tube) - carries sperm from testes to urethra.

 Urethra- carries sperm and urine out of the body.

The Female Reproductive System

 Ovary- produces egg cells.

 Oviduct- serves as passageway of eggs from the ovary to the uterus; site of
egg fertilization.

 Uterus- serves as site of egg implantation; is where the fertilized egg develops.

 Vagina- receives the penis of male during mating.

 NERVOUS SYSTEM
Your nervous system connects all your body parts and transmits signals from one
part to another.

Major Divisions and Parts of the Nervous system

1. Central Nervous System (CNS) - The CNS serves as the main processing center
for the entire nervous system. It consist two main components.

A. Brain- this is an organ located within the skull that function as organizer and
distributor of information for the body.

Cerebrum- large, upper part of brain that controls activity and thought.

Cerebellum- the part under the cerebrum that controls posture, balance, and
coordination.

Brainstem- the part that connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls
automatic function such as breathing, digestion, heart rate, and blood pressure.

B. Spinal cord- this serves as a channel for signals between the brain and the rest of
the body, and controls simple musculoskeletal reflexes without input from the brain.

2. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - the PNS connects the central nervous
system to the organs and limbs. It has two main divisions:

A. Somatic Nervous System- this system is associated with the voluntary control of
body movements and has two main parts:

Spinal Nerves- the nerves that carry motor and sensory signals between the
spinal cord and the body.

Cranial Nerves- the nerves fiber that carry information into and out of the brain
stem.

B. Autonomic Nervous System- this system is as associated with the involuntary

control of body movements and has two subdivisions:

Sympathetic- it is activated when the body is in a dynamic role stress (e.g.

increased heart rate and breathing, dilation of pupil, sweating, etc.).

Parasympathetic- it maintains body function and restores the body normal or

relaxed mode.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
 ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The Endocrine system is composed of glands that secrete different types of
hormones that affect almost very cell, organ, and function of our body. Endocrine
system contains a group of glands that release hormones into the body.

Parts and their function

 Pituitary-
stimulates growth,
and controls the
function of other
glands.

 Thyroid- regulates
body metabolism
and causes storage
of calcium in bones.

 Parathyroid-
controls the calcium
level in your body,
and normalizes
bone growth.

 Thymus- enables
the body to
produce certain
antibodies.

 Adrenal- prepares
the body for action,
controls the heart rate and breathing in times of emergency.

 Pancreas- regulates blood sugar level.

 Reproductive

Testes (male) - control maturation and male characteristics.

Ovaries (female) - influence female traits, and support reproductive

function.
