 What is the role of the hormones in
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

• The male reproductive system also has prostate glands.

Chemicals from these glands nourish the sperm cells and help
them mature.

• The production of sperm cells and the release of semen can be

regulated by hormones or special chemicals that come from
testes, the brain and the pituitary gland.
 What is the role of the hormones in
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

• The female reproductive system, just like the male reproductive

system, is also regulated by 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.
KEY CONCEPT:

• Hormones play an important role in both male

and female reproductive systems. The pituitary
gland controls the function of both the testes and
the ovaries. These hormones keep the
reproductive system properly functioning. It also
help to control many body function such as
growth and repair.
FEEDBACK MECHANISM:
• As the body system work together to maintain
homeostasis, FEEDBACK MECHANISM, or
system that responds to changes occur in the body.
• When there is stimulus, or change in the Positive Feedbacks Negative Feedbacks
environment, feedback mechanism responds by • Increases the change, • Decreases the
increasing or reducing the change to bring the
meaning there will be change, meaning
systems back to normal.
• It is the process through which the level of one more of a product or there will be less of
substance influences the level of another substance a moving away from a product or an
a target point. action that moves
towards the target
point.
MENSTRUATION
 Function of the
Female Reproductive System:

• Production of eggs
• Support the growth of the embryo and
fetus. (Monthly Cycle)
Menstrual Cycle
- a complex periodic series of events during which the
following occur:

1. Development and release of an egg.

2. Build up breakdown of the uterine lining.

Begins at a puberty when hypothalamus stimulates the anterior

pituitary to release FSH and LH.

nNegative Feedback
• A negative feedback • Positive feedback, rising levels of
affects the production of
hormones in the menstrual
cycle. High levels of one
hormone may inhibit the
production of another
hormone
Positive Feedback
hormones feedback to increase
hormone production. During most
of the menstrual cycle, estrogen
and progesterone provide negative
feedback to the hypothalamus and
pituitary gland. This keeps their
levels more or less constant.
 HOMEOSTASIS
• HOMEOSTASIS is the state reached when each pert of the
body functions in equilibrium with other part.

• Most body systems maintain homeostasis by using feedback

mechanisms.

• To achieve homeostasis, the nervous and endocrine systems

maintain a normal range of the following variables.
 • BODY TEMPERATURE
• AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE BODY
• AMOUNT OF METABOLLIC WATERS IN THE
CELL
• BLOOD CALCIUM LEVEL
• HORMONES IN THE BLOOD
