Reproductive system
 Reproductive System is a system of organs involved in
producing offspring.
 The system of organs and parts which function in reproduction
consisting in the male especially of the testes, penis, seminal
vesicles, prostate, and urethra and in the female especially of
the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva.
 The reproductive events in humans include formation of
gametes (gametogenesis), i.e., sperms in males and ovum in
females, transfer of sperms into the female genital tract
(insemination) and fusion of male and female gametes
(fertilization) leading to formation of zygote.
 In women, the organs that are directly involved in
producing eggs and in conceiving and carrying babies;
 In men, the organs directly involved in creating, storing, and
delivering sperm to fertilize an egg.

The Male Reproductive System
 Adolescence
 Puberty
 Burst of hormones activate maturation of the gonads: testes
 Begins: 9 – 14 yrs of age
 Abnormally early = precocious puberty
 Delayed = eunuchoidism
 General Physical Changes
 Enlargement of the external and internal genitalia
 Voice changes
 Hair growth
 Mental changes
 Changes in body conformation and skin
 Sebaceous gland secretions thicken/increase  acne

The Male Reproductive System
 Functions
 To produce, maintain and transport sperm (the male reproductive
cells) and protective fluid (semen) .
 To produce and secrete male sex hormones responsible for
maintaining the male reproductive system .
© iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved
 Consists of:
 A pair of testes
 A network of excretory ducts
 Epididymis
 Vas deferens
 Ejaculatory ducts
 Seminal vesicles
 Prostate
 Urethra
 Penis

 Testes / Testicles (Gonads)
 Produce sperm (Spermatogenesis)
 Sperm production begins at puberty and
continues throughout the life of a male.
 Each testis is an oval structure about 5 cm long
and 3 cm in diameter.
 Covered by: tunica albuginea
 Located in the scrotum
 Short efferent ducts exit the testes.
 Duct System
© iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved
 Sperm cells pass through a series of ducts to reach the outside of the body.
 After they leave the testes, the sperm passes through the epididymis,
ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct, and urethra.
 Epididymis
 Sperm mature in epididymis
 Vas Deferens
 Transports mature sperm to the urethra
 Ejaculatory ducts
 Empty into the urethra
Seminal Vesicles
 Glands posterior to the urinary bladder.
 Each has a short duct that joins with the ductus deferens at the
ampulla to form an ejaculatory duct, which then empties into the
urethra.
 The fluid is viscous and contains fructose, prostaglandins and
proteins.
© iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved
Prostate Gland
 33% of semen volume.
 A firm, dense structure about the size of a walnut that is located just
inferior to the urinary bladder.
 Encircles the urethra as it leaves the urinary bladder.
 Numerous short ducts from the prostate gland empty into the
prostatic urethra.
 The secretions of the prostate are thin, milky colored, and alkaline.
They function to enhance the motility of the sperm.
Urethra
 Extends from the urinary bladder to the external urethral orifice
at the tip of the penis.
 It is a passageway for sperm and fluids from the reproductive
system and urine from the urinary system.
 Divided into three regions:
 The prostatic urethra
 The membranous urethra
 The penile urethra (also called spongy urethra or cavernous urethra)
© iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved
Penis
 A tube-shaped organ that extends from the trunk of the body just
above the testes.
 Made of spongy tissue containing many blood vessels.
 When blood flow increases it becomes enlarged and erect.
 Releases semen a thick fluid containing sperm and other secretions
from the male reproductive system.
 At the height of sexual arousal a series of muscular contractions
known as ejaculation may occur.
© iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved
Seminal Fluid or Semen
 A slightly alkaline mixture of sperm cells and secretions from
the accessory glands.
 Secretions from the seminal vesicles make up about 60% of the
volume of the semen, with most of the remainder coming from
the prostate gland.
 The sperm and secretions from the bulb urethral gland
contribute only a small volume.
 Semen
 Alkaline mixture
 Nutrients
 Prostoglandins
 1.5 to 5.0 ml per ejaculate
 Sperm count of 40 to 250 million / ml
© iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved
Sperm
 Sperm are produced within the somniferous tubules.
 Interspersed within the tubules are large cells which are the
sustentacular cells (Sertoli's cells), which support and nourish
the other cells.
 Sperm cells
 Head
 Nucleus with 23 chromosomes
 Acrosome – enzyme-filled sac
 Helps sperm penetrate ovum
 Midpiece
 Mitochrondria that generate cell’s energy
 Tail
 Flagellum that propels sperm forward

Erection, Orgasm, and Ejaculation
 Erection
 Parasympathetic nervous system stimulates erectile tissue
 Become engorged with blood
 Orgasm
 Sperm cells propelled out of testes into urethra
 Secretions from accessory organs also released into urethra
 Ejaculation
 Semen is forced out of urethra
 Sympathetic nerves then stimulate erectile tissue to release
blood
 Penis returns to flaccid state

The Reproductive System

  • 2. Reproductive system  Reproductive System is a system of organs involved in producing offspring.  The system of organs and parts which function in reproduction consisting in the male especially of the testes, penis, seminal vesicles, prostate, and urethra and in the female especially of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva.  The reproductive events in humans include formation of gametes (gametogenesis), i.e., sperms in males and ovum in females, transfer of sperms into the female genital tract (insemination) and fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization) leading to formation of zygote.  In women, the organs that are directly involved in producing eggs and in conceiving and carrying babies;  In men, the organs directly involved in creating, storing, and delivering sperm to fertilize an egg. © iTutor. 2000-2013.

  • 3. The Male Reproductive System  Adolescence  Puberty  Burst of hormones activate maturation of the gonads: testes  Begins: 9 – 14 yrs of age  Abnormally early = precocious puberty  Delayed = eunuchoidism  General Physical Changes  Enlargement of the external and internal genitalia  Voice changes  Hair growth  Mental changes  Changes in body conformation and skin  Sebaceous gland secretions thicken/increase  acne © iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved
  • 4. The Male Reproductive System  Functions  To produce, maintain and transport sperm (the male reproductive cells) and protective fluid (semen) .  To produce and secrete male sex hormones responsible for maintaining the male reproductive system . © iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved  Consists of:  A pair of testes  A network of excretory ducts  Epididymis  Vas deferens  Ejaculatory ducts  Seminal vesicles  Prostate  Urethra  Penis

  • 6.  Testes / Testicles (Gonads)  Produce sperm (Spermatogenesis)  Sperm production begins at puberty and continues throughout the life of a male.  Each testis is an oval structure about 5 cm long and 3 cm in diameter.  Covered by: tunica albuginea  Located in the scrotum  Short efferent ducts exit the testes.  Duct System © iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved  Sperm cells pass through a series of ducts to reach the outside of the body.  After they leave the testes, the sperm passes through the epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct, and urethra.  Epididymis  Sperm mature in epididymis  Vas Deferens  Transports mature sperm to the urethra  Ejaculatory ducts  Empty into the urethra
  • 7. Seminal Vesicles  Glands posterior to the urinary bladder.  Each has a short duct that joins with the ductus deferens at the ampulla to form an ejaculatory duct, which then empties into the urethra.  The fluid is viscous and contains fructose, prostaglandins and proteins. © iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved Prostate Gland  33% of semen volume.  A firm, dense structure about the size of a walnut that is located just inferior to the urinary bladder.  Encircles the urethra as it leaves the urinary bladder.  Numerous short ducts from the prostate gland empty into the prostatic urethra.  The secretions of the prostate are thin, milky colored, and alkaline. They function to enhance the motility of the sperm.
  • 8. Urethra  Extends from the urinary bladder to the external urethral orifice at the tip of the penis.  It is a passageway for sperm and fluids from the reproductive system and urine from the urinary system.  Divided into three regions:  The prostatic urethra  The membranous urethra  The penile urethra (also called spongy urethra or cavernous urethra) © iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved Penis  A tube-shaped organ that extends from the trunk of the body just above the testes.  Made of spongy tissue containing many blood vessels.  When blood flow increases it becomes enlarged and erect.  Releases semen a thick fluid containing sperm and other secretions from the male reproductive system.  At the height of sexual arousal a series of muscular contractions known as ejaculation may occur.

  • 10. Seminal Fluid or Semen  A slightly alkaline mixture of sperm cells and secretions from the accessory glands.  Secretions from the seminal vesicles make up about 60% of the volume of the semen, with most of the remainder coming from the prostate gland.  The sperm and secretions from the bulb urethral gland contribute only a small volume.  Semen  Alkaline mixture  Nutrients  Prostoglandins  1.5 to 5.0 ml per ejaculate  Sperm count of 40 to 250 million / ml © iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved
  • 11. Sperm  Sperm are produced within the somniferous tubules.  Interspersed within the tubules are large cells which are the sustentacular cells (Sertoli's cells), which support and nourish the other cells.  Sperm cells  Head  Nucleus with 23 chromosomes  Acrosome – enzyme-filled sac  Helps sperm penetrate ovum  Midpiece  Mitochrondria that generate cell’s energy  Tail  Flagellum that propels sperm forward Acrosome Nucleus Head Midpiece Tail © iTutor. 2000-2013. All Rights Reserved
  • 12. Erection, Orgasm, and Ejaculation  Erection  Parasympathetic nervous system stimulates erectile tissue  Become engorged with blood  Orgasm  Sperm cells propelled out of testes into urethra  Secretions from accessory organs also released into urethra  Ejaculation  Semen is forced out of urethra  Sympathetic nerves then stimulate erectile tissue to release blood  Penis returns to flaccid state © iTutor. 2000-2013.
