LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS The


Human Reproductive System

Background Information for Learners

The human reproductive system consists of the set of organs which produces the sex
cells necessary for reproduction .One of the distinct characteristics of a living organism is its
ability to produce offspring. Every human being has a reproductive system which works
together for the purpose of sexual reproduction and ensure the survival and continuity of the
species.
The major organs of the female reproductive system are the ovaries. Other organs of
the female reproductive system are the: fallopian tubes or the oviduct, uterus(womb), cervix,
and vagina (birth canal. The female reproductive system has several functions. The ovaries
produce the egg cells, called the ova or oocytes. The oocytes are transported to the fallopian
tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur. The fertilized egg can be implanted into the
thickened uterine lining and continue to develop. If implantation does not take place, the
uterine lining is shed off as menstrual flow. In addition, the female reproductive system
produces female sex hormones that maintain the reproductive cycle.

The primary male reproductive organs are the testes. Other organs of the male
reproductive system include the scrotal sac(scrotum), epididymis, vas deferens, prostate
gland, Cowper’s gland (bulbourethral gland), seminal vesicles, vas deferens, urethra, and
penis. The organs of the male reproductive system are specialized for the following functions:
• 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.

Parts and Functions:


1. Testis (testes in plural) - produces sperm cells and secretes the male sex hormones
(androgen and testosterone)
2. Scrotal sac or scrotum - external pouch-like structure that holds the testis/testes
3. Penis – it is an external organ that contains the urethra
4. Urethra - serves as the passageway for both sperm and urine
5. Epididymis - stores sperm from the testis and provides environment for sperm to
mature
6. Vas deferens (sperm duct) - transports mature sperm from the epididymis to the urethra
7. Prostate gland – contributes additional fluid and help nourish the sperm
8. Bulbourethral gland (also known as Cowper’s gland) - to produce fluid that will
provide the sperm with nourishing and balance environment
9. Seminal vesicle - secrete a fluid that contains fructose (an energy source for sperm);
when this fluid is added to the sperm, it is known as the semen

The Female Reproductive System

InternalParts
Internal Parts External Parts

Parts and Functions:


1. Ovary (ovaries in plural) - alternately produce the female sex cells (egg or ova) and
secretes the female hormones (estrogen and progesterone)
2. Fallopian tube or oviduct- a pair of ducts leading from the ovaries to the uterus;
pathway where the ova travels from the ovary to the uterus
3. Uterus (womb) – it is the home for the developing fetus
4. Cervix - neck of the uterus that opens to the vagina; it is the passageway for menstrual
flow; passageway for sperm
5. Vagina (birth canal) - A thin-walled passageway through which sperm can enter;
passageway for menstrual flow and baby to the outside
6. Bartholin’s glands – located beside the vaginal opening and produce a fluid (mucus)
secretion.
7. Clitoris – a sensitive protrusion that is comparable to the penis in males that is very
sensitive to stimulation and can become erect
8. Hymen – thin piece of mucosal tissue that surrounds or partially covers the external
vaginal opening
9. Labia minora – they lie inside the labia majora and surround the openings to the
vagina
10. Labia majora – the majora enclose and protect the other external reproductive organs;
it contain sweat and oil- secreting glands; after puberty, the labia majora are covered
with hair; together with the labia minora and clitoris, they are called the vulva or the
external female genitalia
11. Fimbria - are small, fingerlike projections at the end of the fallopian tubes, through
which eggs move from the ovaries to the uterus. The fimbriae are connected to the

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS The Menstrual Cycle

Background Information for Learners

Menstruation is the periodic monthly discharge of the inner lining of the uterus
(endometrium), lasts about 3 to 5 days and occurs on the average, every 28 days.

Once a month an egg cell is released from an ovary. Every time an egg cell is released
the uterus prepares itself for implantation. This is when a thick lining of blood vessels slowly
develops. If the egg is fertilized it passes into the uterus and attaches itself to the thickened
lining. If the egg is not fertilized the uterus lining breaks down and is expelled through the
vagina. This process is called menstruation and is often referred to as a period. The whole
sequence of changes in developing a new uterus lining and producing an egg is call the
menstrual cycle. Menstruation is an indication that a woman is not pregnant.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.

11
Factors such as genetics, diet and overall health can affect cycle. Periods or
menstruation usually occurs between age 11 and 14 and continue until menopause at about the
age of 45 – 55.

Besides bleeding from the vagina, the following are also experienced during
menstruation: lower back pain, bloating and sore breasts, food cravings, mood swings and
irritability, headache and fatigue

Activity 5: Explain Me

Menstrual Cycle is the regular change that occurs in the female reproductive system that
usually lasts for 28 days. This is composed of 4 phases: The Menstruation Phase,
Follicular Phase, Ovulation Phase and the Luteal Phase.
The cycle starts at the menstruation phase and is usually the first 5 days. Here, the lining
of the uterus breaks down and blood comes out of the vagina. After this comes the repair
period which is days 6-13. The uterine lining starts to thicken again preparing for the
development period for an egg to mature. This is called the Follicular Phase.
Ovulation phase occurs when the egg travels from the ovary to the oviduct or the
fallopian tube and waits for a sperm cell to fertilize. Lastly, the luteal phase wherein the
uterine lining starts to thicken again, preparing for a possible fertilization and
implantation of a zygote. If fertilization did not take place, the cycle starts again.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET Modes of Reproduction in Animals

Background Information for Learners:

Reproduction the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring and which
fundamentally consists of the segregation of a portion of the parental body by a sexual or
an asexual process and its subsequent growth and differentiation into a new individuals.
Sexual reproduction is the production of a new organism from two parents. A sperm cell
from a male and an egg cell from a female join into a single unit in a process called
fertilization. Dogs, cats, butterflies, mosquitoes, and frogs reproduce sexually.
Fertilization in dogs and cats takes place inside the female’s body (internal fertilization)
occurs when male animal releases sperm cell into the body of the female animal to
fertilize the egg cell inside the body of the female animal. The embryo develops inside the
female body until it is born or develop inside an egg laid by the female. Fertilization in
frogs happens outside the body; that is, in water where they live (external fertilization)
occurs when female releases egg into the water or attaches them to a plant or rock. Male
animal releases sperm cells over the eggs to fertilized them. Asexual reproduction is the
production of new individuals from a single parent. This type of reproduction is generally
observed in single-celled organisms. Here, no fusion of gametes is involved and a single
parent divides into two or more daughter cells. The offsprings produced are genetically
and physically identical to the parent and are known as clones. Asexual reproduction takes
place in different ways. The different asexual reproduction examples include:

Binary fission. In this type of reproduction, parent cell divides into two equal parts each
containing a nucleus. These are called daughter cells. The daughter cells are genetically
and physically like the parent cell. This type of asexual reproduction can be seen in
organisms such as amoeba, bacteria, euglena, etc.

Budding is another method of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from
an outgrowth from the parent body known as a bud. These derive nutrition from the parent
for growth and development. Once grown, the new organism detaches from the parent
body. This process is called budding. This type of reproduction can be seen in Hydra.

Fragmentation, this type of asexual reproduction is exhibited by Planaria. In this, the


parent body breaks into several pieces where each piece grows into a new individual. The
detachment of the body parts is intentional.

Lastly, Regeneration, if a part of the body of an organism is detached, the detached part
grows into a completely new individual. Regeneration is observed in Echinoderms.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET Reproductive Parts of Plants and its


functions

Background Information for Learners:

You can see different types of plants everywhere. They differ in size, shape, color, smell
and even in their mode of reproduction. Plants have parts that enable them to produce
sexually. They also have parts that enable them to reproduce asexually. Some plants
reproduce through their roots, stems, and leaves. Generally, most plants reproduce through
their seeds.
Flowers are the main parts of plant involved in reproduction. A flower contains structures
needed for sexual reproduction. Most flowers have four main parts – the petals, sepals.
Stamen and pistil. A flower may be complete or incomplete.
The flower is said to be incomplete if the stamen or pistil is not present together in a
flower. A complete flower has the female (pistil) and male (stamen) reproductive parts
with their accessory parts (receptacle, pedicel, sepals, and petals).

Below are parts and function of a flower.


Parts Function
Receptacle The enlarged upper end of a flower stalk which bears the flower or group of
flowers.
Sepals A modified leaf which encloses and protects the other parts of a flower when it
is still a bud.
 Calyx is a group of sepals.
Petals The most obvious part of a flower which are brightly colored to attract insects
for pollination.
 Corolla is a group of petals.
Stamen The male part of a flower that consists of the filament and anther.
Filament A threadlike stalk that holds the anther in a position tall enough to release the
pollen.
Anther It consists of two lobes that contain pollen sacs. Pollen sacs have a mass of
powdery particles or grains called pollen grains.
Pistil The female part of a flower that consists of stigma, style and ovary.
Stigma A swollen structure at the end of the style. It receives the pollen grains. The
mature stigma secretes a fluid that stimulates the pollen grains to germinate.
Style A stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary. It is tall enough to trap the pollen
grains.
Ovary The enlarged, rounded lower part of the pistil of a flower in which seeds are

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET Sexual and Asexual Reproduction in


Plants

Background Information for Learners:

Plants reproduce sexually and asexually. Plant sexual reproduction happens when pollen
grains are transferred from the anthers (male) into the stigmas (female) which is called
Pollination. There are two types of pollination- self- pollination and cross- pollination.
Selfpollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same
flower or of a different flower that belongs to the same plant. While cross-pollination is
the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of another flower
that belongs to another plant but of the same kind. Once a pollen grain enters the stigma, it
swells and grows a long tube that travels though the style until it reaches the ovary, the
tube releases the sperm cells into the ovule to fertilize the egg cell. The fertilize egg and
the ovule itself develops into a seed. The ovary then enlarges and thickens its walls to
become some fruit. These seeds grow into a new plant.

Asexual reproduction in plant does not involve seed. Vegetative propagation is a form of
asexual reproduction where new plants are produced from one part of a parent plant. New
plant can grow from roots, stems, and leaves of a parent plant. Most shrubs grow through
stem cutting like rose plant, bougainvillea, and sugar cane. Some plants have modified
stems and roots such as bulb (onion and tulip), rhizome (ginger and lotus), corm
(gladiolus, taro and gabi), tuber (potato-stem, sweet potato-root) and runners (strawberry).
Leaves such as katakataka plant can produce young plants on its edge. Ferns and moss can
reproduce by sexual or asexual methods depending on its type. Fern can reproduce spores,
rhizomes, and stems.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET Biotic and Abiotic Factors in an


Intertidal Zone and Estuarine Ecosystem
Background Information for Learners (Overview of the Lesson)
When organisms of the same kind live together, they form a group called
population. The interaction among two or more population is called community. The
community interacts with nature, air, water, soil, sunlight, and other nonliving things, thus
called an ecosystem. An ecosystem is the relationship between biological indicators /
biotic indicators (living things) such as mosses, lichens, birds, sedges, earthworms, and
butterflies. And nonliving factors / abiotic factors (non-living things) such as air, soil,
water, and sunlight in a certain place.
In this lesson, you will learn about two ecosystems; (1) the intertidal zones –
these are zones which are constantly exposed to changing tides and home to different
animals. Furthermore, biotic factors of intertidal zones include several species of animal
like crabs, starfishes, sea urchins, shrimps, corals, and sea anemones, while its abiotic
factors include waves, water depth, salinity, temperature, winds, and sunlight.
(2) The estuaries – bodies of water that are formed when freshwater from rivers
flows and mixes with saltwater from sea or ocean. Biotic factors of estuaries include
several kinds of plants and animals like algae, salt marshes, mangrove trees, fishes,
sponges, planktons, shrimps, and oysters while its abiotic factors include waves, water
depth, salinity, temperature, winds, and sunlight. With the interaction between the biotic
and abiotic factors on both intertidal zones and estuaries, different habitats arise from it
such as coral reefs, salt marshes, mud flats, and rocky shores which serves to different
animals and plants as a home and/or sanctuary for them to populate and live in peace. Find
out the components of estuaries, their importance, and how to protect them.
Learning Competency with Code
Discuss the interactions among living things and non-living things in estuaries and
intertidal zones. (S5LT-IIh-8)

Activity 4: What’s Next?


Every plant and animal no matter how big or small, depends on another plant or animal
for its survival. It could be photosynthesis of plants known as producers (first trophic
level) as they can make their own food. Bees taking pollen from a flower, or deer eating
shrub leaves known as the primary consumers (second trophic level) which are usually
herbivores or planteaters. Wolves eating the deer are classified as secondary consumers
(third trophic level) and are generally carnivores or meat-eaters. Lastly, there are
organisms that eat secondary consumers which are called tertiary consumers (fourth
trophic level) as they are carnivoreeating carnivores.

A food chain shows how energy is transferred from one living organism to another
through food. It is important for us to understand how the food chain works so that we
know what are the important living organisms that make up the food chain and how the
ecology is balanced.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET “PROTECTING AND


CONSERVING OUR INTERTIDAL ZONES AND ESTUARIES”

Background Information for Learners:

Do you know where most seafood-like clams, mussels, mollusks and crabs come from?
Intertidal Zones and Estuaries are places where we can find these living things, and just
like humans, these sea creatures need a safe, clean and favorable environment in order for
them to live. Examples of Intertidal zones are beaches, streams, and rivers connected to
seas. While Estuaries filters dirt before freshwater enters the seas or ocean, it filters salt
from the seas and oceans, and it serves as exit points for floods during stormy days.
Protecting these from harm should be a priority to human. Here in our country, the
Philippines, there are many intertidal zones and estuaries, one good example is the
Cataggaman Boulevard at Cataggaman Nuevo, Tugegarao City. This place was a newly
accomplished place for people to visit for recreation and fun. The place has also been
rehabilitated for such purposes. The Sangguniang Kabataan of CNTC spearheaded a
clean-up drive to develop the area with the support of Barangay Employees, CNES
Teachers, Kalinga Scholars and many more volunteers. Clean-up drives are best practices
each region should practice ensuring the cleanliness and development of Intertidal zones

and Estuaries. It is essential that we conserve and preserve Intertidal zones and Estuaries
because these are also sources of natural resources, like fish and clams that we eat.
