Learning the Reproductive System Chapter 19

The Reproductive  System tends to have minimum anatomy with more complex physiology to study. You will find this system links tightly with the Endocrine.  This is a DIFFICULT SESSION, BUT you have many tools which will aide your successful learning. You must choose a system that works and launch into your study each day.  You will find additional help outside your text at the prenhall website, EAP CD(E, D, G)  (NOTE:  You may find it easier to just run the CD from your computer.).  (Click Start, Run, Browse for your CD.  Select Start_EAP3e_CD from the files displayed.), ADAM Interactive Anatomy (LRC Lab). PLEASE NOTE:  The website is NOT for your textbook, but the content is identical (human body is a human body is a ...) so the activities will be the same., ADAM Interactive Anatomy (LRC Lab).  You have approximately 1 week to complete this task.  Please allow this system multiply your knowledge!

At the end of the study of this system, the successful student will be able to:

• Recognize and understand the Structure and function of the Male Reproductive System p. 582-590

  •   Testes

  •   Epididymis

  •    Ductus Deferens

  •    Accessory Glands (3)

  •    Penis

  •    Spermatogenesis

  •    Seminal fluid

  •    Hormones of the Male reproductive system

• Recognize and understand the Structure and Function of the Female Reproductive System p. 590-600

  •     Ovaries

  •     Uterine Tubes

  •     Uterus

  •     Vagina

  •     Oogenesis and Ovarian Cycle

  •     Uterine Cycle

  •     Mammary Glands

  •     Hormones of the Female Reproductive Cycle

  •     Hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle ( P. 599)

• Recognize and understand the structure and function of Mammary glands p.597

  • Nipple

  • Lactiferous ducts

  • pectoral fat pad

  Recognize the Birth Control Strategies p. 604-605

In addition, from the lab studies , the student will be able to

• Recognize and Identify the structures of the Male Reproductive System using the Torso and lab p. 200-201and plates 126-127

• Scrotum and Testes

• Vas Deferens (Ductus Deferens)

• Accessory Structures

  • Seminal Vesicles

  • Prostate

  • Bulbourethral (cowpers) * not visible on lab models

• Urinary Bladder

• Penile Urethra

• Recognize and Identify the structures of theFemale Reproductive System using the Torso and lab p. 204-207 and plates 128,129, 131, 132

  • Ovary

  • Fimbrae

  • Fallopian Tubes (Uterine Tubes)

    • Ampulla

    • Isthmus

    •  

  • Uterus

    • fundus

    • endometrium

    • myometrium

    cervix

    vagina

•  

• Use microscope slides, recognize  (see text)

  • testes

    • seminiferous tubules (sperm)

    • Interstitial Cells(of Leydig)  Testosterone)

  • Ovary

    • Ova (egg)

    • primary follicle

    • graffian follicle(mature follicle)

    • corpus luteum (yellow body)

The following sources of information will help you master the  the reproductive system and the related structures for which you are responsible.

1. Prenhall website:    

   1. The text material has great potential to help you learn the many components of the Reproductive system:

      1. Reproductive (Ch20)

   2. Review the quizzes

   3. including matching

   4. and most importantly, labeling exercises:

      1. Reproductive.

2. Textbook:  Read the objectives.  Use them as a guide when you 

   1. skim read the chapter to get a feel for the content and how the different topics are related

   2. reread the chapter look for the critical points and preparing for lecture

   3. study the chapter to learn the critical content

   4. review the chapter preparing for the quizzes and exams

3. Lecture:    Attend all lectures.  Use them to 

   1. identify important points

   2. ask questions of points not well understood in the text

   3. measure your learning comprehension

4. Lab:     Attend your scheduled lab and take advantage of open times to continue to study  
               Use your labs to correlate text structures to actual specimens in lab

5. EAP CDrom:
