The Reproductive System

The Reproductive
System makes it
possible for humans to
bear offspring and
ensure the continuity
of the human race.

Humans reproduce sexually and the

male and female are involved in
the reproductive process.
MALE FEMALE
The Male Reproductive System
The Male Reproductive System is composed of various
organs with unique and important functions.

Parts Functions
Testes Develop male sex cells (sperm) and sex hormones (testosterone)
Scrotum Holds the testes, supports healthy sperm production
Epididymis Where sperms transported and stored to mature and become ready
for fertilization
Vas Deferens a.k.a. sperm duct, transport mature sperm to the urethra
Urethra Passageway of semen containing sperm cells
Prostate Produces fluids that help nourish the sperms
Gland
Penis Delivers the sperm to the female reproductive tract

The Female Reproductive
System
The female
reproductive system is
composed .of various
organs with unique and
important functions

Functions
1. Reproduction of new
offspring
.
2. Produces female sex
hormones that maintain
the reproductive cycle.
The Female Reproductive
System
Ovaries
The ovaries are
responsible for the
development of female
sex cells called the ova or
eggs.

Female sex hormones, estrogen

and progesterone are also
developed in the ovaries. These
hormones regulate the
reproductive process.
Uterus
The uterus is a hollow organ
where the egg is deposited after
travelling via the fallopian tube.

When the egg is fertilized here, it

results to pregnancy.

The Uterus is also

called the womb.
The Wall of Uterus has 3 Layers of Tissue
1. Perimetrium- external thin membranous

2. Myometrium- middle thick layer of smooth muscle

- exhibit strong contraction during the
delivery of the baby

3. Endometrium- inner glandular layer that lines the

uterine cavity
- under goes cyclical changes during
menstrual cycle
Cervix The cervix acts as the gatekeeper of
the uterus which controls the flow of
substances going into and out of the
uterus.
It allows the passage of menstrual
fluid (in case of menstruation), or of a
baby (in case of pregnancy).
Fallopian Tube
The egg travels from the
ovary to the uterus through
the fallopian tubes. The
finger- like projections at the
tubes pick up egg released by
the ovary.
Vagina
The vagina is an
elastic and muscular
tube that connects the
uterus of a woman to
the vulva.

This is where a fully

Vagina, they’re developed fetus
usually referring to passes through during
the vulva, which is birth. It stretches as
the outer part of the needed, for example,
female genitalia. when giving birth.
Female External Genitalia

Mons pubis: fatty pad over the pubic symphysis

Labia majora & minora: folds of skin encircling
vestibule where find urethral and vaginal openings
Clitoris: small mass of erectile tissue
Bulb of vestibule: masses of erectile tissue just deep
to the labia on either side of the vaginal orifice
Perineum: Area between the vagina and anus

body system to maintain homeostasis?
 Infertility is not an
inconvenience; it is a disease of
the reproductive system that
impairs the body’s ability to
perform the basic function of
reproduction.
