UNIT 12
Assignment: 4
Task 1 (P6 & P7)
Produce a presentation which clearly describe and explains the structure and function of the male and female
reproductive systems, relating structure to function
In the male reproductive system, the organs perform three main functions:
 To make and secrete male sex hormones responsible for maintenance of male reproductive system
...


The male reproduction system includes external structures such asthe penis, scrotum, and testicles
...
The glans is covered with a loose layer of skin called foreskin
...
The opening of the tube from the bladder to the outside of the
body, which is a tube that moves urine and semen, is at the tip of the penis
...

Semen contains sperm that is expelled through the end of the penis when a man reach orgasm
...

Scrotum, a loose pouch - like sac of skin that hangs below the penis
...
The scrotum acts as a 'climate controlsystem' for the testes
...

There are specialmuscles within the wall of the scrotum that allow it to contract and relax, moving the testiclescloser to
the body and away for warmth
The testicles are oval organs that are the size of two large olives which lie in the scrotum, secured at either end by a
structure called spermatic cord
...
Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes called (transporting or containing semen) tubules
...

The female (related to the process of making children) system is designed to help carry out (more than two, but not a
lot of) functions
...
In the fallopian tubes conception usually
happens which is the (allowing an egg to grow and develop into a living thing) of an egg by a sperm
...
Menstruation will happen if (allowing an egg to grow and develop into a living thing) does not happen, the
female (related to the process of making children) system also produces female sex (chemicals produced by the body)
which maintain the (related to the process of making children) cycle
...
The main structure of the female (related to the process of making children) system includes:
Labia majora: This enclose and protect the other external (related to the process of making children) organs
...

Labia minora: This is very small or two inches wide
...

Bartholin's glands: These glands are located beside the vaginal opening and produces a fluid (release of fluid)
...
The clitoris is covered by a fold of skin, called prepuce, that is just like foreskin at the tip of the
penis

UNIT 12
Assignment: 4
Task 2 (M5, D4)
Produce a further presentation on the causes of infertility, how this can be tested for and how it relates to changes
in hormonal levels during the menstrual cycle in females
...

Enlarged veins in the testes can increase blood flow and heat, affecting the number and shape of sperm
...
Men who have gone
through a vasectomy and desire a return of life – creating ability will also need to either have the vasectomy reversed
(see 'vasectomy reversal' below) or have sperm retrieved through a surgical procedure for use in helped ways of doing
things
...
Also, frequent exposure to heat, such as in saunas or hot tubs, can lift up the testicular
temperature, damaging sperm production
...
Examples include hormonal
problems such as polycystic ovary disease, a condition that might relate to your ovaries producing too much of the
male testosterone (body chemical that causes men to be men), and hyperprolactinemia, when you have too much
prolactin the (chemical produced by the body) that stimulates breast milk production
...

Uterus or cervical, including problems with the opening of the cervix or cervical mucus, in the shape of the uterus
...
More often, non-cancer growths may distort the uterus interfering with implantation of the
egg
...
This can result from hip- swelling
related disease, usually caused by sexually transmitted infection, endometriosis or scar tissues
