Good morning Grade 10! How are you doing today? You have learned
that cells make up a tissue, then tissues make up an organ, and organs
make up a system. Let us now understand the organ system to know
specifically how the individual cells of the male reproductive system
work. By the way, the reproductive system of humans does not fully
become active until an individual reaches puberty

The male reproductive system includes the structures seen in picture above.
The male gonads are the testes (singular: testis) hanging in the scrotum. Sperm
production requires a slightly lower temperature than the human body that is why the
scrotum hangs loosely outside the body cavity. However, when the testis fails to
descend, it leads to sterility because of the inhibiting effect of normal body
temperature on sperm development.
To summarize, the male reproductive system consists of the following important
structures:
Part Function
Testis produces sperm cells
Scrotum a sac that holds the testis
Penis places sperm into the vagina during mating
Vas Deference carries sperm from the testes to the urethra
Urethra carries sperm out of the body
Gland provides liquid in which sperm can swim

a. seminal vesicle a. secretes one of the components of the semen

b. prostate gland b. secretes a milky fluid that is discharged into the
urethra as part of the semen
c. Cowper’s gland or c. a mucous secreting gland located at the base of the
Bulbourethral gland penis
 The picture above shows the parts of the female reproductive system. The
female reproductive system performs female sexual and child-bearing functions. It
consists of a pair of gonads or the ovaries, fallopian tube or oviduct, the uterus, the
vagina, and the external genitalia or the vulva. Each organ performs related functions
such as to produce eggs, to produce hormones, to receive the sperm cells that will
fertilize the eggs, and to provide for the development of the embryo.
The following describes the function of each parts
Part Function
Ovary produces egg cells
Fallopian Tube or Oviduct The passageway of eggs from the ovary to the uterus
and the same place where the egg is fertilized
Uterus develops the fertilized egg
Vagina receives the penis of the male during mating

The picture above shows the female external genitalia. The female external
genitalia contain the vestibule and its surrounding structures. Vestibule is the space
into which the vagina and urethra open. A pair of thin, longitudinal skin folds called
the labia minora borders the vestibule. A small erectile structure called the clitoris is
located in the anterior margin of the vestibule. The labia minora unite over the clitoris
to form a fold of skin called the prepuce skin.
 Activity:
Direction: Answer the following questions below.

2. Describe the relationship between the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus and
vagina.
