 Human sexual reproduction
involves
• Human male reproductive system
• Human female reproductive system
• Spermatogenesis
• Oogenesis
• Fertilization
• Embryonic development

Males-prostate gland, Females-less

Females-fallopian Males-muscular built
seminal vesicles muscular,
tubes,uterus,vagina, ,moustache,hairy

mammary glands coarse skin etc.

Human reproductive system
• Reproductive organs

• Reproductive ducts

• Accessory structures

• Sec. reproductive organs

• Sec. sexual characters

4
 Male Reproductive System

• Scrotum
• Testes
• Epididymes&vasa eff.
• Vasa defferentia
• Ejaculatory ducts
• Urethra
• Penis
• Accessory sex glands

5
SCROTUM TESTES

Dark pigmented
3 Coverings
pouch

Internally
Testicular lobules
Divided into2 sacs

Temp 2 deg. less Seminiferous tubules 6

7
 TESTES
Coverings

Tunica Vaginalis

T. Albuginea

T.Vasculosa

Testicular Lobules
(200-300)

Seminiferous Tubules

2-3 in each lobule Lined by germinal epith.

8
 Testes

Rete testes
Vasa differentia

2 tubules
Network of
arising from
seminiferous tubules
Cauda epididymes

Epididymes

Stores sperms and

secrete nourishment 9
 Other parts of male reproductive
system
• Ejaculatory ducts • 2 tubes, arising from
seminal vesicles ,
carry sperms &
secretions
• Urethera
• 20 cm long, carries
urine and sperms

• penis • Copulatory
organ,conducts urine
and sperms

10
 Accessory
sex glands

Seminal
vesicles-2 Prostate Cowper’s
Gland Glands

Secretes fluid
Secrete fructose & containing citric acid
Mucus
prostaglandins ,some lipids
, few enzymes &
bicarbonate ions

11
 Human Female Reproductive
System
• Ovaries
• Fallopian tubes
• Uterus
• Vagina
• External genitalia
• Mammary glands

12
Parts of Female Reproductive System

Ovaries Shows
developing
Attached to uterus follicles & corpus
by ovarian ligament luteum & corpus
albicans
Outer cortex

Covered by stroma
Germinal epith. Inner medulla

Gametes production

Functions
Hormone production 13

 Hollow muscular , pear shaped
U
T Between urinary bladder & rectum
E
R Fundus Communicates with fallopian tubes
U
Parts Body
S Harbours embryo

Cervix Communicates below with vagina

V 10 cm long
A Provides passage for menstrual flow
G
I Serves as receptacle for sperms
N
Outer opening – vaginal orifice
A
16
 Mons pubis Anterior most portion
V Erectile tissue , homologus to penis
Clitoris
U
Outer thick skin folds
L Labia Majora

V Labia Minora Inner smaller skin folds

Help in lobrication, on either side of
A Bartholin’s Glands
vaginal opening
Perineum

Modified sweat glands

Female hormones develop them

MAMMARY Parts Nipple, areola, areolar glands(sebaceous glands)

GLANDS lactiferous sinuses(reservoir of milk),fatty tissue

Prolactin produces milk

17
Oxytocin releases milk
