The resources available in this course for the week 3 readings of The Female and Male Reproductive Systems were helpful. The resources were beneficial and in-depth and provided detailed information about the reproduction process for males and females. The three resources I found helpful this week in learning about the puberty and the reproduction system were the interactive glossary, anatomical images, and the self-care assessments to check for any unordinary signs or issues. The resources helped to enhance the learning and provided a better understanding of reproduction for both genders.
The reproductive process is a natural part of life. It signifies that body is in the process of transforming a girl or boy into young women and men and eventually into adults. The interactive glossary was a great resource to use for multiple reasons. It contained a dictionary for students to type the word needed defined and view the meanings as well as show where what part of the Human Sexuality book the term originated. The interactive materials such as anatomical reviews, interactive reviews, flashcards, resources, links, practical quizzes, self-assessments, and web exercises provide in-depth knowledge on an important topic.
The anatomical images as well as the text explaining the reproduction process was enlightening. The images identified areas affected during the reproduction process and anatomical positions of the genital areas as well as different parts of it that play a crucial

The male reproductive system is made up of several parts. These parts are the penis, scrotum, testicles, epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, urethra, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands and the bladder (WebMD, 2015). Each one of these organs performs a certain function within the reproductive system.
1. Integumentary System and Reproductive System Several systems work alongside the integumentary system to keep the body functioning properly. For instance, the integumentary system and the reproductive system are dependent on each other. The skin, an organ of the integumentary system, protects the organs of the reproductive system, such as the uterus.
The sperm of the three difference species observed in lab all had the same basic structure, heads and tail. Additionally, the sperm were very small in size, especially in comparison to the ovary cross-section that was examined. Overall, the bull sperm appeared to have the largest head and the human sperm appeared to be the shortest in length of the three. The rat sperm had the longest length with a small hook shaped head. Although the sperm of the rat, human, and bull differed slightly, the over structure of the sperm cells were same.
The reproductive system is a system of sex organs within an organism which work together for sexual reproduction. The development of the reproductive system is controlled by the pituitary
Human sexuality can be fascinating, complex, contradictory, and sometimes frustrating. Sexuality is interwoven into every aspect of being human; therefore, having knowledge about sex is as essential as having education about human anatomy. However, it is highly recommended to pay close attention when sex education is delivered to youths. (Donatelle 171)
Puberty in essence is a life changing event for males and females, typically following a time of significant physical growth. Puberty is the stage in life when secondary sex characteristics are developing, sexual organs mature due to production of sex hormones. This naturally occurs during adolescence, the stage in life between childhood and adulthood. Nonetheless, Feldman (2014) points out the fact that physical changes begin earlier for girls typically at the age of 10, with sexual organ development generally around the ages of 11-12. On the other hand, physical changes for boys, frequently occurs later, around the age of 12, with development of sexual organs around the age of 13-14. Nevertheless there has been a trend towards early maturation of both male and females, this can bring about advantages and disadvantages for both sexes (Feldman, 2014). This author will discuss the pros and cons of early versus late maturation in boys versus girls in 21st century U.S. society as well as how media reinforces maturation for pre-teens and teens.
Dr. Hemingson, a new professor to grace Baker’s campus this year, is currently teaching anatomy and physiology. This may seem as though this class would be cut and dry, yet anatomy and physiology deals with topics that if not handled correctly, can cause disruptions in the classroom. During this class, students will come across material that encompasses the pubic areas of the body, and also during the lab portion cadavers of
Martin, after careful consideration and researching in unique methods, comes to an overall conclusion that there are cultural influences in the way egg and sperm interactions are presented in textbooks. This conclusion has many serious

The external genitalia appear identical up to 11 weeks in both genders. The rapid growth of penis after 14 weeks allows differentiation of both genders. On
Dr. Tatiana’s Sex Advice to All Creation, written by Olivia Judson, mimics a Dear Abby column in a newspaper, in which her audience, ranges from a honeybee to spotted hyena, write-in and ask for help with their sex lives. She covers a slew of different sex topics, some more pleasant than others, such as incest, cannibalism, promiscuousness, and asexual reproduction. The book is truly a witty yet entertaining excursion of the natural history and the evolutionary biology of sex. Judson’s objective is to teach her audience about biology, specifically sexual biology.
Semen is the male reproductive fluid, containing spermatozoa in suspension. Sperm is a male reproductive cell. Prostate is a gland surrounding the neck of the bladder in male mammals and releasing prostatic fluid. Urethra is a duct by which urine is convey out of the body from the bladder, and which in male vertebrates also conveys semen. Penis is the male genital organ of higher vertebrates, carrying the duct for the transfer of sperm during copulation. Glans is the head of a penis. A shaft is the cylindrical part of the penis between the scrotum and head. Seminiferous tubules is any of the numerous long convoluted tubules in the testis which are the sites where spermatozoa mature. Seminal vesicles is each of a pair of glands that open into the vas deferens near its junction with the urethra and secrete many of the components of semen. Bladder is a membranous sac in human and other animals, which urine is collected for excretion.
Do you know how you were born? Do you know how you came to be? The reproductive system is the system that made that all possible. Without the reproductive system you wouldn’t have been born. In order to produce offspring, the male and female reproductive systems have to be different. Each system has different parts, problems and care. Each system have different purposes, the male reproductive system’s function is to produce sperm, while the female reproductive system’s function is to produce ova, store ova and house a fertilized egg.
