REVISION OF LAST TERM’S WORK

The male reproductive system consists of both internal and external organs.

External organs include: Penis, Scrotum

Internal organs include: Testes (Testicles), Epididymis, Vas Deferens, Seminal Vesicles, Prostate Gland

Functions and Cares of Male and Female Reproductive Organs

The male and female reproductive organs have distinct functions and require different care:

Male reproductive organs:

Organ

Functions

Care

Testes

Produce sperm and testosterone, the primary male sex hormone.

Protecting the testes from injury, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and avoiding excessive heat exposure (such as hot tubs or tight clothing) to ensure optimal sperm production.

Penis

Delivers sperm into the female reproductive tract during sexual intercourse.

 

Practicing good hygiene, including regular cleaning to prevent infections and other complications. Safe sexual practices, such as condom use, can also help prevent sexually transmitted infections.

Scrotum

Houses the testes and helps regulate their temperature for optimal sperm production.

Wearing supportive underwear, avoiding excessive heat exposure, and seeking medical attention for any lumps, swelling, or discomfort in the scrotal area.

Prostate Gland, Seminal Vesicles, and Bulbourethral Glands

 Produce seminal fluid to nourish and protect sperm during ejaculation.

Maintaining overall prostate health through regular exercise, a balanced diet, and regular medical check-ups to monitor for any signs of prostate issues.

 

Female Reproductive Organs:

Organ

Function

Care

Ovaries

Produce eggs (ova) and female sex hormones, including estrogen and progesterone

Monitoring reproductive health through regular gynecological exams, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and addressing any hormonal imbalances or irregularities.

Uterus

Provides a nourishing environment for a fertilized egg to develop into a fetus during pregnancy.

Practicing safe sexual practices to prevent infections and complications, seeking medical attention for any abnormal bleeding or pain, and considering regular pelvic exams and Pap smears for early detection of cervical cancer.

Vagina

 A muscular canal that serves as the birth canal during childbirth and also facilitates sexual intercourse.

 

 Practicing good hygiene, avoiding douching or using harsh chemicals, and seeking medical attention for any abnormal discharge, odor, or discomfort.

Cervix

The lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina and helps regulate the passage of sperm into the uterus.

Regular Pap smears and HPV screenings to detect any abnormalities or signs of cervical cancer, practicing safe sex to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.
