Seggs

Consists of the testes, ducts, accessory glands and penis

A pouch of skin inside that hangs outside the body. Keeps the testes 1° C- 3° C cooler than the normal body temperature and functions as a protective sac that holds the testes in place.

Tube leading from bladder/prostate to outside held within penis. In males, serves to transport sperm and urine to outside, but in females, only transports urine.

transport of sperm and urine to outside

male sex cell

Produces sperm and hormone testosterone.

coiled tube where sperm is stored

Tube for passage of sperm from the epididymis to the penis

Secrete Fructose, prostaglandins (induce sperm transport, movement, and prevent the vagina from killing them), alkaline fluids to lower vaginal pH and fibrinogen (clots sperm, keep them alive)

Male sex organ and urinary organ

1. to produce and deliver sperm 2. To produce hormones that are responsible for the development of secondary sex

Where is the sperm produced? (Male)

How does the sperm travel through the male body?

Where the egg implants and the fetus develops during pregnancy

Produces the egg (gland that produces estrogen and progesterone)

The tube that connects the ovary to the uterus, through which egg passes after release from ovary.

female sex hormone

process in sexual reproduction in which male and female reproductive cells join to form a new cell

Helps set an alkaline pH alongside a clotting enzyme

hormone produced by the ovaries

other name for a fertilized egg

The flow from the body of blood, tissues, and fluids that results from the breakdown of the lining of the uterus

The time when you develop physical characteristics of adults your own gender

The process by which living organisms produce others of their own kind

The body organs and structures that make it possible to produce children

at what age does puberty take place?

Boys start to produce sperm during puberty as girls start to _____

What membrane lines the uterus which thickens during the menstrual cycle?

Upon activation by GnRH (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone), it produces FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) + LH (Luteinizing Hormone) which stimulate sex glands to greater activity.

Girls starts to experience menstruation during puberty as boys starts to ______

testes=sperm; ovaries= ____

the male sex hormone

Seminiferous tubules supercombine to create this. These are attached to the top of each ball, and serve as a storage space and incubator for sperm, alongside providing the optimal pH for sperm to mature in, at pH-7.5 (so slight alkaline)

the two glands below the prostate whose secretions set an alkaline pH alongside a clotting enzyme.

Narrow, coiled tubules that produce sperm in the testes.

stimulates Sertoli cells to produce ABP (Androgen Binding Hormone), which increases testosterone concentration in the testes and triggers spermatocytes to undergo meiosis.

LH stimulates testicular interstitial cells to secrete testosterone

At puberty, the hypothalamus begins secreting GnRH (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone). This targets the pituitary gland, which in turn secretes FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) + LH (Luteinizing Hormone).
