Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs)

MELCs 1. Explain the role of hormones involved in the female and male reproductive systems
(S10LT-IIIb-34).
2. Describe the feedback mechanisms involved in regulating processes in the female reproductive
system (e.g., menstrual cycle) (S10LT-IIIc-35).

Human reproductive system, organ system by which humans reproduce and bear live offspring.
The source of the ova (the female germ cells) is the female ovary; that of spermatozoa (the male germ
cells) is the testis. In females, the two ovaries are situated in the pelvic cavity; in males, the two testes
are
enveloped in a sac of skin, the scrotum, lying below and outside the abdomen. Besides producing the germ
cells, or gametes, the ovaries and testes are the source of hormones that cause full development of
secondary sexual characteristics and also the proper functioning of the reproductive tracts. These
tracts comprise the fallopian tubes, the uterus, the vagina, and associated structures in females and the

penis, the sperm channels (epididymis, ductus deferens, and ejaculatory ducts), and other related
structures and glands in males. The function of the fallopian tube is to convey an ovum, which is
fertilized in the tube, to the uterus, where gestation (development before birth) takes place. The function
of the male ducts is to convey spermatozoa from the testis, to store them, and, when ejaculation occurs, to
eject them
with secretions from the male glands through the penis.

Sex hormones are responsible for driving sexual development (puberty). The main reproductive
hormones are estrogen and testosterone. Estrogen causes eggs to mature in ovaries once a girl hits

puberty. These are then released at regular intervals during the menstrual cycle. Testosterone stimulates
sperm production in males.

The nervous system includes both the Central nervous system and Peripheral nervous system. The central
nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system is made up of
the Somatic and the Autonomic nervous systems.
