Discussion
 Teacher will discuss:
Different parts of reproductive system and their function

Let us learn first about the Female Reproductive System. Take a look at the diagram
of the female reproductive system below.

B. Development
 The female reproductive organs are the ovaries, fallopian tubes or oviduct, uterus,
cervix and vagina.

1. Ovaries
There are two ovaries (sing. ovary) suspended in the pelvic cavity by a ligament,
each about the size of an almond seed. Each ovary contains ovarian follicles, which contain
oocytes (egg cells), the female reproductive cell.

2. Fallopian Tubes
Also called oviduct or uterine tubes, fallopian tubes extend from the area of the
ovaries to the uterus. Long, thin structures called fimbriae surround the opening of each
tube. Fertilization, the union of egg and sperm cell forming zygote or fertilized egg occurs in
the part of this tube near the ovary.

3. Uterus
The uterus also called womb is as big as a medium-sized pear. It is where the zygote is
implanted where it develops and grows into fetus. The part of the uterus above the
entrance of the uterine tubes is called the fundus. The main part is called the body, and the
narrower part is the cervix. Internally, the uterine cavity continues through the cervix as the
cervical canal, which opens into vagina.

4. Vagina
It is the female organ for copulation as well as the passage for menstrual flow and
childbirth. It extends from the uterus to the outside of the body.

Now let us discuss about the Male Reproductive System. The figure below shows
the part of the male reproductive system. Take note that certain parts of it are also part of
the urinary system in males.

1. Scrotum
A sac that holds the testes. Externally, the scrotum is made up of skin. Under the
skin are a loose of connective tissue and a layer of smooth muscle called, dartos.

2. Testes
The testes (sing. testis) are oval organs within the scrotum, each about 4 to 5 cm
long. Each testis is composed of cone-shaped lobules that contain seminiferous tubules.
Seminiferous tubules are highly coiled tubes which are about 125 meters tightly packed in a
wedge-shaped lobe in each testis, where spermatocytes or sperm cells (male reproductive
cell) develop.

3. Epididymis
When sperms move out of the testis, they enter a tightly coiled series of threadlike
tubules that form a comma-shaped, epididymis. Sperms are not fully developed at this
time, but secretions from the duct walls help them mature.
 4. Vas Deferens
When sperm cells are about to leave a male’s body, they pass through a thickwalled
tube called the vas deferens in which wall is composed of smooth muscles.

5. Ejaculatory Duct
It extends to the prostate gland and ends by joining the urethra within the prostate
gland. It delivers the sperm into the urethra.

6. Urethra
It carries the sperm out of the body.

7. The male organ for copulation that transfers the sperm cells to the vagina of the
female. It is composed of erectile tissues. The enlargement of these tissues with blood
causes the penis to enlarge and become firm in a process called erection.

8. Glands
There are three kinds of glands which secrete fluids that constitute the bulk of
semen, the liquid that facilitates the travel of the sperm until they reach the egg inside the
female body. These are: two seminal vesicles, one prostate gland and the two
bulbourethral glands also called Cowper’s Gland.

Student’s Activity:

ACTIVITY # 1
PARTS OF AND FUNCTIONS OF FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Direction: On the separate sheet of paper, identify the numbered parts of the female
reproductive system and briefly give the functions of each organ. (10 pts.)

C. Engagement
 ACTIVITY # 2
PATHWAY OF SPERM IN MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

Direction: Label the diagram of the male reproductive system. Follow the arrow to trace
the pathway of sperm cells. (10 pts.)

ACTIVITY # 3
TAKING CARE OF MY SELF
Direction: Gather personal care that you regularly use such as soap, deodorant, feminine
wash, etc. Have a short discussion about the items you listed and their purpose in
promoting good hygiene and reproductive health. Make a table on a separate sheet of
paper as shown below. You may add rows if necessary.

Items Uses for Good Hygiene and Reproductive Health

D. Assimilation
 To summarize what you have learned today, complete the table below to show the
differences between male and female reproductive systems.

Understanding your body is the key to good health. If you do not know what is
normal for you, you would not be able to recognize signs of illness or infection. Aside from
practicing good hygiene habits to take care of your reproductive health, another way is to
perform self-examinations. Self-examinations do not replace annual check-ups by health
professionals, but they do help us communicate with our health-providers about our
bodies. Here are some of the self-examinations that you can do.

Genital Self-Exam (GSE)

• Everyone should perform exams monthly.
• Examine the entire genital area.
• Look for any swelling, discharge, and/or sores.
• Seek medical attention if something is unusual.

Female Breast Self-Exam (BSE)

V. REFLECTION
• Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in females.
• Females should perform monthly breast exams one week after the start of their
period.
• Look for lumps; changes in size, shape, or contour; or any discharge.
• Seek medical attention if something is unusual.

Male Testicular Self-Exam (TSE)

• Testicular cancer most often occurs in young men ages 20–34 years old.
• Males should perform a monthly exam after a warm bath or shower when scrotal
skin is relaxed.
• Warning signs may include a mass/lump within the scrotum which may or may
not be painful.
• Seek medical attention if something is unusual
