Unit 9 learning aim C: understand the role or hormones in the regulation and
control of the reproductive system
Criteria-
C.P3- Describe the structure and function of reproductive anatomy.
C.P4- Describe how hormones are involved in gamete development and conception.
C.M3- Explain how the regulation of male and female reproductive systems can affect
human reproductive health.
C.D3- Evaluate how conception may be prevented and promoted.
,In this assignment I will be talking about the male and female reproductive system. I will use
diagrams and include the functions of both female and male reproductive system and their
importance. I will also talk about how hormones are involved in the reproductive system
and how the health of them human system.
C.P3- Describe the structure and function of reproductive anatomy.
The reproductive system is a network of hormone-producing organs, both internal and
exterior, that collaborate to produce life. Certain organs and tissues must exist in both the
male and female for this biological process to take place.
Male reproductive system-
The penis, scrotum, and testicles are among the male reproductive system's external
organs. The vas deferens, prostate, and urethra are among its internal organs. A number of
organs that make up a man's reproductive and urinary systems are included in the male
reproductive system. The majority of the male reproductive system is found external to the
body.
, Structure and functions of the male reproductive system-
- Ureter
The male urethra is the tube that takes urine from the bladder to the outside of your body.
It joins the penis to the urinary bladder. During sexual activity, the urethra also acts as a
channel for sperm and semen. The urethral meatus, which is found at the tip of the penis, is
where urine exits the body once the bladder is full.
- Bladder
Urination can be restricted and rare because to the bladder's ability to hold pee. Ligaments
that are connected to the pelvic bones and other organs hold it in place. Layers of muscular
tissue that stretch to contain pee line the bladder. When storing pee, the bladder's walls
relax and expand; when emptying urine through the urethra, they constrict and flatten.
- Prostate gland
These are tiny glands found near the base of the penis. When stimulated sexually, these
glands release an alkaline fluid that helps neutralise the acidity from the vagina and pee in
the urethra. Gland that generates milky, alkaline fluid that boosts sperm motility.
- Vas deferens
