Overview of Male and Female Reproductive Systems

This document outlines the key components and functions of the male and female reproductive systems. The male reproductive system includes structures such as the scrotum, testes, and penis, which are essential for sperm production and delivery. The female reproductive system encompasses the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina, playing a crucial role in egg production, conception, and pregnancy. Common reproductive diseases and procedures, such as dystocia and hysterectomy, are also addressed, providing insights into reproductive health and care.

  1. Reproductive System By: Stephanie Piser

  2. Male Reproductive System • Produces sperm cells and provides a mechanism for delivering them to the female’s body • Parts: • Scrotum • Testes • Epididymus • Ductus deferens • Accessory glands • Urethra • Penis

  3. Male Reproduction Parts Scrotum • the sac (pouch) that contains the testes, blood vessels, and part of the spermatic cord • Temperature sensitive Testes • Produce sperm cells • Divided into compartments that contain seminiferous tubules

  4. Male Reproductive System Epididymus • Upper part of the testes • Secretes and stores semen • Provides passageway for sperm Ductus Deferens • Carries sperm from the epidiymis through the pelvic region to the urethra Accessory Glands • Seminal vesicles- nourishment • Prostate gland- motility • Bulbourethral Glands- protection

  5. Male Reproductive System Urethra • Passes through the penis to the outside of the body • Urine and ejaculate Penis • Male sex organ

  6. Female Reproductive System • Produces the female egg cells and hormones • Provides for conception and pregnancy • Parts: • Ovary • Fallopian tubes • Uterus • Cervix • Vagina • Vulva • Mammary glands

  7. Parts Ovaries • Pair of almond shaped organs located in the caudal abdomen • Where egg cells are stored • Produces estrogen and progesterone Fallopian Tubes • Pair of tubes attached to the uterus • Provides a passageway for ovum to move from the ovary to uterus • Infindibulum: catches egg released from ovaries • Fertilization occurs here

  8. PARTS Uterus • Pear shaped muscular organ located in the pelvic cavity • Functions: menstruation, pregnancy and labor • Tissue layers: • Endometrium • Myometrium • Perimetrium Cervix • Narrow lower portion of uterus • Composed of sphincters – tightly shut

  9. Female Repro. Parts Vagina • Tube that connects the uterus to the outside of the body Vulva • External genitals that surround the vagina • Common sign of pregnancy and estrus Mammary Glands • Produce milk • Shape, placement and number are dependent upon species - teats & offspring

  10. Common Diseases • Dystocia- difficult birth • Epididymitis- inflammation of the epididymus • Pyometra- pus in the uterus • Sterility- inability to reproduce • Mastitis- inflammation of the mammary glands

  11. Common Procedures • Hysterectomy- surgical removal of the uterus • Neuter- sexual altering of males • Fetotomy- cutting apart of a fetus to enable removal from the uterus
