The male reproductive system consists of several organs, including the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and penis. The testes produce sperm cells and the hormone testosterone, while the other organs work together to support and transport the sperm during ejaculation.
The female reproductive system includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina. The ovaries produce eggs and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. The fallopian tubes transport the released egg to the uterus where it can implant and develop into a fetus if fertilized by sperm. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina, which serves as the passageway for sexual intercourse and childbirth.
2. WHAT IS REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM?
The Reproductive System is the organ system of the human body that is
responsible for producing the young or children.
Male and Female Reproductive System is both involved in producing new
individuals of the same kind.
3. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Humans are sexual, meaning that both male and female are need to reproduce.
Each is equipped with specific organs capable of producing specific cells needed
conjunction with a woman's reproductive organs, sexual intercourse can lead to
the reproduction of human life to procreate.
4. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
PENIS
● this tubular, muscular organ fills with blood
during arousal, thus making sexual
intercourse possible.
5. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
SCROTUM
● this pouch like sac hangs below the penis and
encases the testss or testicles.
6. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
TESTICLES
● these two oval shaped organs reproduce
sperm cells and testosterone.
7. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
EPIDIDYMIS
● a series of a small tubes attached to the back
of each testicles. The epididymis collects and
stores sperm.
8. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
VAS DEFERENS
● the epididymis eventually becomes the vas
deferens, a larger tube that transports sperm
to the urethra (the urinary passage from the
bladder)
9. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Sperm
● A sperm is a tadpole-shaped and around 60
microns in length (one microns is a million of a
meter). It has a lashing tail, which helps it to
"swim" towards a waiting egg. Sperm
production continues throughout a man's life
from puberty into old age but the quality of a
man's sperm declines from about age to 45.
● the sperm is the male reproductive cell. Its
role is to fertilise an egg. It contain's the man's
genetic materials.
10. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Pubic Bone (pubis)
● The main function of the pubis is to support
and protect the urinary and sexual organs.
11. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Corpus Cavernosum
● The corpus cavernosum forms most of the
penis and contains blood vessels that fill with
blood to help make an erection.
12. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Corpus Spongiosum
● The corpus spongiosum surrounds the urethra
(the tube through which urine and sperm pass
from the body).
14. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Foreskin
● The foreskin is an outer layer of skin that
covers the head of the penis (the glans)
15. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Foreskin
● The foreskin is an outer layer of skin that
covers the head of the penis (the glans)
16. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Ejaculatory Duct
● The ejaculatory duct delivers sperm into the
urethra
17. Male Reproductive System Problems
Impotence - the Reproductive System is the organ system of the human body
that is responsible for producing the young or children.
Infertility - the inability to achieve a pregnancy due to low sperm reproduction,
blockages or other factor.
Prostate Disease - begin prostate enlargement and prostate cancer.
Sexually Transmissible Infections (STIs) - bacterial or viral infections acquired
through sexual contact.
19. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Ovaries
● Ovaries are the main organs of the female
reproductive system. The ovaries are oval and
are in the lower part of the abdomen. They
produce, allow for the maturation and provide
storage for egg cells. Ovaries also produce
female sex hormones (estrogen,
progesterone and andxogens). Estrogens
are responsible for the development of female
sex characteristics, such as development of
breasts, broadened pelvis, and play a large
role in the menstrual cycle.
20. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Egg Cell (Also known as ovum)
● An egg cell is fertilized by a sperm to produce
fertilized egg called zygote. An egg cell
dissolves in the Fallopian tube after about 24
hours if not fertilized
21. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Vagina or Birth Canal
● It is 3 to 4-inch passageway or canal inside
the female. This is a place where a sperm
may be deposited by the male.
22. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Cervix
● Cervix is a short canal that leads to the
uterus. It is the bottom section of the uterus. It
produces fluids to help sperm cell travel. It
also produces mucus plug to keep out germs
during pregnancy.
23. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Uterus (Also called “womb”)
● The uterus is made up of muscular walls, a
lining called endometrium, and a cervix. It
houses and protects embryo/ fetus/baby and
allows nutrients and wastes exchange with
placenta during pregnancy. It also nourishes
the embryo before l a placenta grows.
24. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Fallopian Tube (Also known as oviduct)
● A Fallopian tube is a passageway that
conveys the ovum to the uterus. As the ovum
moves along the Fallopian tube, the union of
egg cell and sperm cell can happen.
25. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Rectouterine Pouch
● the lowest point of the abdominal cavity.
26. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Fornix
● the superior portions of the vagina, extending
into the recesses created by the vaginal
portion of cervix.
27. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Greater Vestibular gland
● The greater vestibular glands, also known as
the Bartholin's glands are located on the
vaginal opening, at the back.
28. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Labium majus
● prominent pair of cutaneous skin folds that will
form the lateral longitudinal borders of the
vulval clefts.
29. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Labium minus
● the two inner folds of skin that surround the
opening of the vagina.
30. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Uterine tube
● The uterine tubes or oviducts are two
muscular-walled conducts, which extend from
the ovaries to the uterus.
31. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Vesicouterine pouch
● The vesicouterine pouch is a fold of
peritoneum over the uterus and the bladder,
forming a pelvic recess.
32. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Clitoris
● is the pleasure center of your reproductive
anatomy.
33. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Rectum
● the rectum is the last several incles of the
large infestine closest to the anus.
