The Reproductive System 
I. Anatomy of the reproductive system 
II. Hormonal control 
III. Fertilization and development 
IV. Contraception 
V. “Assisted reproduction”
Formation of gametes 
Sperm 
Eggs 
Fertilization- fusion of gametes 
zygote 
Zygote divides repeatedly; differentiates 
into unique cells and tissues
Features of reproductive system 
Gonads 
produce gametes and hormones 
ducts to trasnport the gametes 
accessory glands and organs 
(secrete fluids) 
external genitalia
Testes are formed in abdomen and descend 
into scrotum at 7th month of development 
Temperature in scrotum is slightly lower than 
in body 
Spermatogenesis (formation of sperm) 
sperm-forming cells 
Sertoli cells 
interstitial cells-produce testosterone 
Process takes about 9 weeks
Spermatazoa in testes are not yet capable 
of fertilization 
Epididymis- is actually over 20 feet long! 
spermatazoa complete maturation 
as they move through epididymis 
(about 2 weeks) 
 
Ductus deferens (vas deferens) 
 
Ejaculatory duct
Ejaculatory duct 
Sperm 
Seminal fluid 
secretions from prostate 
seminal vesicles 
bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s glands) 
Activate sperm 
Provide nutrients 
Contractions help move sperm 
Buffers
Control of erection 
Hypothalamus (conscious control) 
Parasympathetic nerves 
neurotransmitter- nitric oxide? 
promotes blood flow into penis 
(Viagra- promotes vasodilation) 
Control of emission and ejaculation 
sympathetic nerves- muscle contraction
Female reproductive system 
Ovaries 
Accessory organs 
uterus 
uterine (Fallopian) tubes 
vagina 
external genitalia
Hormonal control of the female reproductive cycle 
Pituitary and gonadal hormones 
Must coordinate ovarian and uterine cycles
Evaluation of contraceptive methods 
Do they work? 
Are they safe? 
Are they available? 
Are they affordable? 
Do they protect against sexually transmitted 
diseases (STDs)
Abstinence 
Surgical sterilization 
essentially permanent
Oral contraception 
Prevents ovulation 
Is reversible 
Does NOT protect against STDs
Risks of oral contraception 
Requires discipline 
Antibiotics can inhibit effect 
Can increase risk of heart attack or stroke 
can promote clot formation (estrogen) 
can promote atherosclerosis (progesterone) 
Can promote vaginal and cervical infections 
Can promote cervical cancer from HPV
Progesterone-only contraceptives may be a 
little safer but not quite as effective 
Minipill (every day) 
Depo-Provera (3 months) 
Norplant (5 years)
Is there a male pill? 
Strategies: 
shut off testosterone 
lowers sperm count, but linked with reduced 
sex drive and erectile dysfunction 
supplemental dose of testosterone 
Inhibit FSH? 
high rate of permanent sterility 
Inhibit GnRH? 
does not completely inhibit sperm production 
in everyone, but is reversible 
Answer: not yet
IUD 
Safe and effective 
Risk of inflammatory disease, and subsequent 
sterility 
Recommended for women who don’t want 
future pregnancy or are not at risk 
for STD
Barrier methods 
Diaphragms 
Cervical caps 
Condoms (male and female) 
Spermicides 
Not as effective in pregnancy prevention 
Do provide protection against STDs 
Availability
Fertility awareness (“natural family planning”) 
Minute knowledge of woman’s cycle 
Indicators of ovulation 
body temperature 
cervical mucus
Future methods? 
Vaccines against sperm, eggs, hCG, hormones 
Diaphragms with spermicide 
Vaginal rings with progestins 
Skin patches
