What This Module is About

Introductory Message
Welcome to the Science 10 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on
Coordinated Functions of the Endocrine and Reproductive Systems
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators
from public schools to assist you, the teacher or facilitator, in helping the learners
meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal,
social, and economic constraints in schooling.

To the facilitators:
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

To the parents:
As a vital partner in education, your support to your children’s learning at home, is a
great factor to ensure that they will become succesful in what they do. As a parents,

the tasks in this module while at the same time, ensuring that they learn
independently.

The objectives set for this learning material will be certainly accomplished with your
steadfast guidance and support.

To the learners:
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.
Furthermore, it is our objective that you will have fun while going through this
material. Take charge of your learning pace and in no time, you will successfully
meet the targets and objectives set in this module which are intended for your
ultimate development as a learner and as a person.

1 Coordinated Functions of the

Endocrine and Reproductive
Systems

What I Need To Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
to deepen your knowledge about Coordinated Functions of the Endocrine, and
Reproductive Systems. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many
different learnings situations. The Languange used recognizes the diverse
vocabulary level of studnets. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence off the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1) Explain the role of hormones involved in the female and

male reproductive system.
a. Describe the parts of the endocrine and
reproductive systems.
b. Explain how endocrine and reproductive
systems perform coordinated functions.
c. Cite some ways on how to take good care of
the endocrine and reproductive systems.

 1. What Is It

The Endocrine System

The endocrine gland is composed of glands that secrete different types of
hormones that affect almost every cell, organ, and function of our body. It is essential
in regulating growth and development, metabolism, as well as reproductive
processes and mood.
Endocrine glands secrete chemicals known as hormones into the
bloodstream, which carries them throughout the body. When a hormone in the blood
reaches the target organ, it produces a notable effect. The endocrine system sends
signals all over the body, much like the nervous system but the effects can take a
few hours or even weeks.
The table below shows the location, hormones released and function of each
gland.

Male Reproductive System

The following are the functions of the male reproductive system:

 To produce, maintain and transport sperm (the male reproductive cells)
and protective fluid (semen).
 To discharge sperm within the female reproductive tract.
 To produce and secrete male sex hormones.

The production of sperm cells and the release of semen can be regulated by
hormones or special chemicals that come from the testis, the brain and the pituitary
gland. These hormones androgen and testosterone keep the reproductive system
properly functioning.

 Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system has the following functions:

 produce female sex cells receives sperm cells from males; and
 nurtures the development of and provides nourishment to the new
individual.

The female reproductive system, is also regulated by hormones. These

hormones are estrogen and progesterone. The follicles produce hormones that
control the growth and release of eggs from the ovaries. While other hormones
prepare the uterus so a baby can grow in it, other hormones still control the
stretching of the uterus during pregnancy.
