The aim of the female reproductive system is to produce mature oocytes which match with the male spermatocyte to create offspring. Fertilisation most commonly occurs in the fallopian tubes‚ though this can also occur later in a female’s menstrual cycle if the egg has already moved down into the uterus‚ though there is a higher chance of miscarriage as the lining of the womb may continue to shed. The external female reproduction features have two functions; to allow insemination and to also protect

Discuss the Male Reproductive System The reproductive system is questionably the body system that is the most important influence on life as we know it. It is the w ay in which we procreate and ensure our existence as a species.

The main organs include: testicles (or testes)‚ the epididymides

Anatomy of the Female Reproductive System The reproductive role of the female is far more complex than that of a male. Not only must she produce gametes‚ but her body must prepare to nurture a developing embryo for a period of approximately nine months. Ovaries‚ the female gonads‚ are the primary reproductive organs of a female‚ and like the male testes‚ ovaries serve a dual purpose: They produce the female gametes (ova) and sex hormones‚ the estrogens * and progesterone (pro-ges′tĕ-rōn).

Ovarian Cycle Follicular Phase ↓ Est‚ ↓ Prog → ___ FSH release FSH → granulosa cells secrete ____ The major follicle will secrete the most estrogen and inhibin which will have a negative inhibition on FSH‚ LH and GnRH release (this will allow a greater chance of only one follicle maturing) When Est levels are highest → will switch to a positive feedback and stimulates ↑↑ secretion of LH‚ FSH and GnRH. Meanwhile‚ the follicle is also secreting a little Prog which stimulates GnRH and ↑ LH release
