In Summary
27.1 The organs of the male reproductive system include
the testes, responsible for sperm and hormone
production, and the accessory organs of vas
deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and bulbourethral
glands, scrotum, and penis.
27.2 Spermatogenesis begins in the seminiferous tubules
of the testes. They mature in the epididymis first as
spermatogonia, then as spermatocytes, and finally as
spermatids.
2011TheMcGrawHillCompanies,Inc.Allrightsreserved.
27-65
In Summary (cont.)
27.3 Semen is a mixture of seminal fluid, prostatic fluid,
sperm cells, and lubricating bulbourethral fluid.
27.4 Erection occurs during sexual arousal, causing penile
engorgement with blood. Ejaculation occurs when
semen and its sperm cells are forced out of the body
through the urethra.
27.5 Testosterone is responsible for the male secondary
sex characteristics and maturation of the male
reproductive organs.
2011TheMcGrawHillCompanies,Inc.Allrightsreserved.
27-66
In Summary (cont.)
27.6 The diseases of the male reproductive system vary
widely between simple inflammation and cancers. The
more common diseases and disorders, with their
varied symptoms and treatments, are outlined in the
Pathophysiology section of this chapter, immediately
following the A&P of the male reproductive system.
27.7 The organs of the female reproductive system include
the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina. The
external accessory organs include the mons pubis,
labia majora and minora, clitoris, urethral meatus,
vaginal orifice, Bartholins glands, perineum, and
mammary glands.
2011TheMcGrawHillCompanies,Inc.Allrightsreserved.
27-67
In Summary (cont.)
27.8 Ova originate from the primordial follicles within the
ovaries present during fetal development, which
produce the oocyte and follicular cells responsible for
oogenesis.
27.9 Estrogen is responsible for female secondary sex
characteristics. Both estrogen and progesterone
stimulate the uterine lining to thicken in preparation
for pregnancy and inhibit uterine contractions during
pregnancy.
27.10 Ovulation occurs when the anterior pituitary releases
a surge of LH, causing the release of a mature ovum.
2011TheMcGrawHillCompanies,Inc.Allrightsreserved.
27-68
In Summary (cont.)
27.11 The follicular cells become the corpus luteum, which
releases more progesterone, which causes the
uterine lining to become more vascular and glandular
to prepare for the pregnancy.
27.12 The female menstrual cycle causes periodic changes
in the uterine lining. After a menstrual period, the
body prepares for the next ovulatory cycle with
increasing levels of estrogen and progesterone. If
pregnancy does not occur, these levels drop, causing
the uterine lining to break down and resulting in the
next menstrual period.
2011TheMcGrawHillCompanies,Inc.Allrightsreserved.
27-69
In Summary (cont.)
27.13 Menopause is the cessation of the menstrual cycle
related to normal aging of the ovaries.
27.14 The diseases of the female reproductive system vary
widely between simple inflammation and cancers.
The more common diseases and disorders, with their
varied symptoms and treatments, are outlined in the
Pathophysiology section of this chapter, immediately
following the A&P of the female reproductive system.
2011TheMcGrawHillCompanies,Inc.Allrightsreserved.
27-70
In Summary (cont.)
27.15 Fertilization occurs with the union of a sperm cell and
ovum; usually occurs within the fallopian tubes, but
may occur anywhere in the female reproductive tract.
27.16 The fertilized ovum, now a blastocyst, implants in the
endometrial wall of the uterus.
27.17 The embryonic period occurs from week 28 of the
pregnancy, and the fetal period is from week 9
through delivery.
2011TheMcGrawHillCompanies,Inc.Allrightsreserved.
27-71
In Summary (cont.)
27.18 Hormonal changes stimulate the uterine lining and
inhibit FSH and LH production to prevent ovulation.
Mammary glands are stimulated and enlarged,
uterine contractions are inhibited, and the pelvic
ligaments loosen in preparation for delivery.
27.19 Some of the contraceptive methods include coitus
interruptus; barrier methods; chemical barriers; oral
contraceptives; injectable, implantable and insertable
contraceptives; and intrauterine devices. Their
mechanisms are discussed in detail within the
chapter.
2011TheMcGrawHillCompanies,Inc.Allrightsreserved.
27-72
In Summary (cont.)
27.20 The causes of infertility are varied, with about 15% of
infertility for unknown causes. A number of infertility
tests and treatments are discussed within the
chapter.
27.21 There are many sexually transmitted diseases, all
passed between sexual partners (heterosexual and
same-sex partners alike). Their symptoms,
treatments, and sequelae for both sexes are
discussed in detail in the Pathophysiology section
devoted to STDs at the end of this chapter.
