Male Reproductive System
Stress can affect you in both positive
and negative ways.
The male reproductive system is a
series of organs involved in producing
children.
sperm
testosterone
testes
scrotum
penis
semen
sterility
The male reproductive system includes both
external and internal organs that, with the help of
hormones, allow physically mature males to
produce children.

The two main functions of the male
reproductive system are to produce and store
sperm and transfer them to the female’s body
during sexual intercourse.
Sperm
Male gametes

Hormones produced in the pituitary gland
stimulate the production of testosterone, which
initiates physical changes that signal maturity.
Testosterone
The male sex hormone

Testosterone may spur
the development of
muscles in adolescence.

A male’s external reproductive organs include
the testes, the penis, and the scrotum.
Testes
Two small glands that secrete
testosterone and produce sperm

The testes are located in the scrotum.
Scrotum
An external skin sac

The penis is composed of spongy tissue that
contains many blood vessels.
Penis
A tube-shaped organ that extends
from the trunk of the body just
above the testes

When the penis becomes erect, semen can be
ejected from the body.
Semen
A thick fluid containing sperm
and other secretions from the
male reproductive system

Sperm must travel through the vas deferens,
the urethra, the seminal vesicles, and the
prostate and Cowper’s glands before they are
released from the body.
Male reproductive health involves care and
monitoring throughout a male’s lifetime.
As with any other body system, the male
reproductive system needs care.
Tips for Maintaining Your
Reproductive Health
Bathe regularly.
Wear protective equipment.
Practice abstinence.
Perform regular self-examinations.
Get regular medical checkups.
The organs of the male reproductive system can be
affected by both functional and structural
problems.
Males should watch for the signs of reproductive
system problems, as well as signs of infections from
STDs.

An inguinal hernia occurs when part of the
intestines push through a tear in the abdominal
wall.


Surgery can repair an inguinal hernia.

Sterility occurs as a result of too few sperm or
sperm of poor quality.
Sterility
The inability to reproduce
After You Read
Reviewing Facts and Vocabulary
1. Sperm cannot survive at body temperature.
How does the body protect sperm from heat?
The scrotum holds the testes outside the body so
that they are kept at a temperature slightly lower
than body temperature.

3. What are the vas deferens?
Tubes that extend from each epididymis to the
urethra
Female Reproductive System
The female reproductive system
matures at puberty and enables
women to reproduce.
eggs
fallopian tubes
ovaries
vagina
uterus
menstruation
ovulation
cervix
The organs of the female reproductive system
enable pregnancy to occur with the first monthly
ovulation.
The female reproductive system matures at puberty.

The female reproductive system has several
functions, including producing female sex
hormones and storing the eggs.
Eggs
Female gametes

A female at birth has more than 400,000
immature ova in her ovaries.
Ovaries
The female sex glands that store
the ova, or eggs, and produce
female sex hormones

The ovaries are located on each side of the
uterus.
Uterus
The hollow, muscular, pear-shaped
organ that nourishes and protects a
fertilized ovum until birth

The process of ovulation is controlled by the
release of luteinizing hormone by the pituitary
gland.
Ovulation
The process of releasing a mature ovum
into the fallopian tube each month

A mature ovum is released from an ovary and
moves into one of the two fallopian tubes.
Fallopian tubes
A pair of tubes with fingerlike
projections that draw in the
ovum
Cervix
The cervix is the opening of the uterus.
Uterus
The uterus protects and nourishes a
developing fetus.
Ovaries
The ovaries contain ova and produce
hormones.
Fallopian Tubes
Ova travel to the uterus through the fallopian
tubes.
Endometrium
Endometrium tissue lines the uterus.
Vagina
The passageway from the uterus to the
outside of the body.

Sperm from the male enter the female
reproductive system through the vagina.
Vagina
A muscular, elastic passageway that
extends from the uterus to the
outside of the body

The fertilization of an egg by a sperm produces
a cell called a zygote.


When the zygote leaves the fallopian tube, it
enters the uterus and attaches itself to the
uterine wall. The fetus remains in the uterus
until birth.

After a female matures, the uterus prepares
each month for possible pregnancy. If
pregnancy doesn’t occur, menstruation occurs.
Menstruation
The shedding of the uterine
lining

The endometrium tissues pass through the
cervix and into the vagina.
Cervix
The opening to the uterus
Good hygiene, breast self-exams, and abstinence
from sexual activity help female reproductive
system health.
Sound health practices will help females care for
their reproductive systems.
Tips for Maintaining Your
Reproductive Health
Bathe regularly.
Have regular medical exams.
Practice abstinence.
Several disorders can affect the female
reproductive system, and some can lead to
infertility.
While menstrual cramps and premenstrual syndrome
are common, toxic shock syndrome is uncommon.

2. Distinguish between ova, ovaries, and
ovulation.
The ova are egg cells. The ovaries are the
female sex glands that store the ova and
produce female sex hormones. Ovulation is the
process of releasing a mature ovum into a
fallopian tube each month.

3. Identify a kind of cancer of the female
reproductive system that is linked to a sexually
transmitted disease (STD).
Cervical cancer
STD’s
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
are highly communicable infections
that are contracted through sexual
contact.
sexually transmitted diseases
sexually transmitted infections
asymptomatic
epidemic
Anyone who has sexual contact with another
person risks contracting a sexually transmitted
disease.
Sexually transmitted diseases are also called sexually
transmitted infections.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are
communicable diseases that can be easily
transmitted from one person to another.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
Infections spread from person to person
through sexual contact

Several of the most common STDs are often
asymptomatic, so many people don’t seek
treatment because they don’t realize they are
infected.
Asymptomatic
Individuals show no symptoms, or the
symptoms are mild and disappear after the
onset of the infection
There are approximately 25 different STDs, six of
which are considered the most common.

Genital HPV infections, chlamydia, genital
herpes, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and
syphilis are the six most common STDs.

Genital HPV infections are caused by human
papillomavirus (HPV) and can cause genital
warts.


Some HPV infections can cause cervical cancer.
A vaccine treatment is now available for
protection against HPV.

Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that
produces no symptoms


If left untreated, chlamydia can cause pelvic
inflammatory disease (PID) in females and
infertility in males.

This is the bacteria that causes Chlamydia, the
most common STD among teens.

Genital herpes is an incurable STD caused by
the herpes simplex virus.
Herpes simplex 1
usually causes cold
sores in or near the
mouth.
Herpes simplex 2
typically causes
recurring blisters on
the genitals or
rectum.

Gonorrhea is a bacterial STD that usually
affects mucous membranes.


Left untreated, gonorrhea can cause severe
health problems, such as infertility and
permanent damage to the body’s joints.

Trichomoniasis is an infection that can cause
symptoms that include irritation of and
discharge from the genitals.


Females with trichomoniasis are also more
likely to contract HIV if they are exposed to it.

People infected with syphilis develop sores on
the genitals.


If left untreated it causes a skin rash, damage to
internal organs, brain dementia, and death.
Accurate health information and responsible
behavior will help fight the STD epidemic.

The CDC estimates that each year, 19
million people are infected with an STD.
Almost half are under the age of 24.

Practicing Abstinence
Setting dating limits and practicing
abstinence will benefit all three sides of
your health triangle.
priorities
intimacy
infatuation
self-control
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
Personal values and priorities will influence your
dating decisions.
Dating provides opportunities to develop social
skills, discover new interests, and reaffirm personal
values.

Some teens may decide not to date because
they have other priorities like focusing on
school or spending time with family.
Priorities
The goals, tasks, values, and activities that
you judge to be more important than
others

If you decide to date, communicate your
thoughts and feelings honestly.


Never feel pressured to do anything that goes
against your values or your family’s values.

Setting limits and making them clear before a
date will help ensure safe and positive dating
experiences.


The most important limit you can set is to
practice abstinence.
There are many strategies that can help you
commit to abstinence.
Abstinence is a deliberate decision to avoid high-risk
behaviors, including sexual activity and the use of
tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs.

Choosing abstinence will safeguard your
health and future.


By choosing abstinence from sexual activity,
you are taking responsibility for your wellbeing.

Positive dating
relationships are
based on mutual
respect and
caring.

Abstinence does not mean doing without
intimacy or expressing affection in a close,
special friendship.
Intimacy
A closeness between two people that
develops over time

It is important not to confuse genuine
affection and intimacy with infatuation.
Infatuation
Exaggerated feelings
of passion

Practicing abstinence requires planning and
self-control.
Self-control
a person’s ability to use responsibility to
override emotions

It’s normal and healthy to have sexual feelings.


You cannot prevent sexual feelings from
occurring, but you can control how you react to
those feelings.
Tips for Practicing Abstinence
Set limits for
expressing
affection.
Communicate
with your
partner.
Seek lowpressure dating
situations.
Talk with a
trusted adult.
Date someone
who respects
and shares your
values.

Before you go on a date:
know where you’re going and what you will be
doing.
 find out who else will be there.
 discuss with your parents or guardians what time
they expect you home.


Avoid places where alcohol and other drugs
are present.


People under the influence of alcohol and other
drugs have impaired judgment and are more
likely to engage in high-risk behaviors.

Avoid being alone with a date at home or in an
isolated place.


These situations also increase the risk of losing
self control or being forced into a sexual act
against your will.

Going out in a group can reduce some of the
pressures of dating.
Abstinence from sexual activity has a positive
effect on all sides of your health triangle.
Sexual activity can harm a teen’s physical,
mental/emotional, and social health.

It is illegal for an adult to have sexual contact
with someone under the age of consent.


Consent laws, which vary from state to state,
make it illegal for an unmarried minor to
engage in sexual activity.

Many teens make the decision to practice
abstinence because it is the only 100 percent
effective method to eliminate health risks
associated with sexual activity.

Risks associated with sexual activity include
unplanned pregnancy and sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs).
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
Infectious diseases spread from person to
person through sexual contact

Every year in the United States, about one
million teenage girls become pregnant.


A pregnancy can result even if teens are
engaging in sexual activity for the first time.

Each year, about half of the diagnosed cases of
STDs occur among teens and young adults
between the ages of 15 and 24.


Although many STDs can be treated and cured
if diagnosed early, some STDs have no cure.

Sexually active teens may experience hurt
because partners are not committed as in a
marital relationship.


They may also feel guilt because teens are
usually not truthful to their parents about
being sexually active.

Sexually active teens may lose their self-respect
because sexual activity goes against personal
and family values.


They may also feel regret and anxiety, if sexual
activity results in an unplanned pregnancy or
an STD.
Honest communication with your dating partner
will help you stay committed to abstinence.
To stay firmly committed to abstinence, continue to
remind yourself of the reasons that you chose
abstinence.
