- Review: Introduction to the Reproductive System - SEER Training
The primary reproductive organs are the gonads, which produce the gametes and hormones The secondary, or accessory, structures transport and sustain the gametes and nurture the developing offspring
- Accessory Glands - SEER Training
The accessory glands of the male reproductive system are the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and the bulbourethral glands These glands secrete fluids that enter the urethra
- Female Reproductive System - SEER Training
The organs of the female reproductive system produce and sustain the female sex cells (egg cells or ova), transport these cells to a site where they may be fertilized by sperm, provide a favorable environment for the developing fetus, move the fetus to the outside at the end of the development period, and produce the female sex hormones
- Mammary Glands - SEER Training
Progesterone stimulates the development of the duct system During pregnancy, these hormones enhance further development of the mammary glands Prolactin from the anterior pituitary stimulates the production of milk within the glandular tissue, and oxytocin causes the ejection of milk from the glands
- Duct System - SEER Training
It is a passageway for sperm and fluids from the reproductive system and urine from the urinary system While reproductive fluids are passing through the urethra, sphincters contract tightly to keep urine from entering the urethra
- Anatomy of the Prostate - SEER Training
The main purpose of the prostate is to produce fluid for semen, which transports sperm during the male orgasm Base of the Prostate The base is directed upward near the inferior surface of the bladder The greater part of this surface is directly continuous with the bladder wall Apex of the Prostate

- Gonads - SEER Training
The gonads, the primary reproductive organs, are the testes in the male and the ovaries in the female These organs are responsible for producing the sperm and ova, but they also secrete hormones and are considered to be endocrine glands
