System
Parts Function
Penis The urethral opening at the tip of the penis delivers sperm
into the vagina during sexual intercourse.

Scrotum the sac-like organ hanging behind and below the penis. It
contains the testicles (also called testes), as well as many
nerves and blood vessels.

Testicles (oval organs that lie in the scrotum) are the primary male
(Testes) reproductive organ and are responsible for testosterone
and sperm production.

Epididymis The epididymis is a C-shaped tube that rests on the

backside of each testicle. It transports and stores sperm
cells that are produced in the testes.
 Parts Function
Vas The vas deferens transports mature sperm to
deferens the urethra, the tube that carries urine or
sperm outside of the body, in preparation for
ejaculation.
Ejaculatory These are formed by the fusion of the vas
ducts deferens and the seminal vesicles. The
ejaculatory ducts empty into the urethra
Urethra tube that carries urine from the bladder to
outside of the body
Glands Several glands produce semen or fluid in
support of the reproductive process.
 Parts Function
seminal produces fructose that provides energy to
vesicle the sperm as they seek an egg.

prostate produces a fluid that helps the sperm

gland move more quickly through the female
reproductive system.
bulbourethral
or sometimes makes a fluid for protecting the sperm on
Cowper’s its way through the urethra.

System
 Function
Parts
Ovaries The ovaries are two small, oval-shaped glands
located on either side of the uterus.

Fallopian narrow tunnels for a fertilized egg to make its

way down to the uterus
tube
is a hollow, pear-shaped organ located in a
woman’s lower abdomen, between the bladder
Uterus and the rectum. It is also called the “womb” and
holds the fetus during pregnancy.
Parts Function
Cervix It forms a canal that opens to the
vagina. Often called the neck or
entrance to the womb, the cervix lets
menstrual blood out and semen into
the uterus
vagina the birth canal, joins the cervix (the
lower part of uterus) to the outside of
the body.

THE MENSTRUAL
CYCLE
Menstruation is a sign that a girl is
capable of producing offspring.

The menstrual cycle is a series of

changes during which an egg
matures, and the uterus is prepared
for possible pregnancy.

Luteal Phase
This is when the
endometrium (the lining of
the uterus)is thick and
prepared to support a
pregnancy or be released
in a period.
Ovulation
This is when an egg is
released from the biggest
follicle and travels through
the fallopian tube where it
can be fertilized. If it is not
fertilized, it dissolves in
about 24-48 hours.
Menstruation
This is the “period” when
the endometrium or lining
of the uterus sheds over
3-7 days if there is no
pregnancy
Follicular Phase
This is when several
eggs mature inside small
cysts or follicles, it starts
on day 1 of menstruation
and ends with ovulation
(day 14).

 Feedback Mechanism
Feedback Loops
are biological processes that
maintain homeostasis or body
balance.
Negative feedback
Positive feedback
Direction:
1. Get a separate sheet of paper for your answers. Do not
copy the statements or items. Just indicate the situation
number on your paper, and write the correct symbol for your
answer later.

2. Read the situations/events in the female reproductive

system and the brief explanation for each event in Table 3.
Analyze the underlined words as they were given as clues.

3. Determine whether a positive or a negative feedback

mechanism is taking place in each example. Put a plus (+)
sign if it is a positive feedback mechanism and a negative (-)
sign if it is a negative feedback mechanism.
 Situations Brief Explanation Type of
Feedback
1. childbirth The stretching of uterine walls causes
contractions that further stretch the walls.
These continues until birthing occurs.

2 lactation Suckling stimulates milk production which

causes further feeding (continues until
baby stops feeding).
3 Menstruation Follicles becomes the corpus luteum, and
this produces estrogen and progesterone
which inhibit FSH and LH secretion by
the pituitary.
Ovulation The dominant follicle releases estrogen
which stimulates LH and FSH release to
promote further follicular growth.
