sites is used to detect the presence of parasites
or their ova in the digestive tract, a common
cause for severe diarrhea. Ova are produced
in the ovary by a process called oogenesis
(o/o = egg and -genesis = produced).
Word Watch: Be careful when using the
combining form metr/o meaning “uterus” and
the suffix -metry meaning “process of measuring.”
Word Watch: Be careful using the ombining
forms vesic/o meaning “bladder” and vesicul/o meaning “seminal vesicle.”
Encourage/remind students to add new word
parts to flash cards.
Emphasize that it is more important to memorize word parts than individual terms, since
many important terms can easily be defined
by just breaking them down.
Did You Know?
 Early Greek scholars noted the resemblance
of the testes to the bulb of an orchid plant.
Hence the combining form orchid/o means
testis.

Female Reproductive System
• Plays vital functions that ensure continuation of human race
• Produces ova, female reproductive cells
• Provides place for fertilization to occur and for baby to grow during pregnancy
• Breasts provide nourishment for newborn
• Secretes female sex hormones
• System consists of both internal and external genitalia or reproductive organs (see

Teaching Tips
 [Insert icon] Visual Learners: Use full-size
anatomical charts and models to illustrate the
different organs of these two systems.
 Word Watch: Be careful using the combining forms uter/o meaning “uterus” and ureter/o meaning “ureter.”
 Word Watch: Be careful using the combining forms colp/o meaning “vagina” and culd/o
meaning “cul-de-sac (rectouterine pouch).”

Male Reproductive System
• Two main functions: produce sperm, male reproductive cell and secrete male sex
hormones
• Major organs of reproduction are located outside body: the penis, and two testes,
each with epididymis (see Figure 10.20)
• Penis contains urethra, which carries both urine and semen to outside of body; this
system is sometimes referred to as genitourinary system (GU)
• Internal organs of reproduction include two seminal vesicles, two vas deferens,
prostate gland, and two bulbourethral glands
Testes
• Singular is testis
• Also called testicles
©2013 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Fremgen and Frucht, Lesson Plans for Medical Terminology, A Living Language, 5/e
• Oval in shape (see Figure 10.20)
• Responsible for production of sperm; process called spermatogenesis; takes place
within seminiferous tubules that make up insides of testes (see Figure 10.21);
must be maintained at proper temperature for sperm to survive; lower temperature
level is achieved by placement of testes suspended in scrotum, a sac outside body
• Perineum of male is similar to that in female; area between scrotum and anus
• Male sex hormone testosterone, responsible for development of male reproductive
organs, sperm, and secondary sex characteristics, is also produced by testes
Epididymis
• Coiled tubule that lies on top of testes within scrotum (see Figure 10.20)
• Serves as location for sperm maturation and storage until released into vas deferens
Penis
• Male sex organ containing erectile tissue encased in skin (see Figure 10.20)
• Delivers semen into female vagina
• Tip of penis referred to as glans penis; protected by covering called prepuce or
foreskin; this covering of skin is removed during procedure known as circumcision
• Penis becomes erect during sexual stimulation, which allows it to be placed within
female for ejaculation of semen
• Male urethra extends from urinary bladder to external opening in penis, urinary
meatus, and serves dual function: elimination of urine and ejaculation of semen;
during ejaculation, sphincter closes to keep urine from escaping
Vas Deferens
• Carries sperm from epididymis up into pelvic cavity; travel up in front of urinary
bladder, over top, and then back down posterior side of bladder to empty into urethra (see Figure 10.20)
• Vas deferens, nerves, arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels running between pelvic
cavity and testes form spermatic cord
Seminal Vesicles
©2013 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Fremgen and Frucht, Lesson Plans for Medical Terminology, A Living Language, 5/e
• Two small glands located at base of urinary bladder (see Figure 10.20)
• Connected to vas deferens just before it empties into urethra
• Secretes glucose-rich fluid that nourishes sperm; this liquid, along with sperm, constitutes semen, fluid that is eventually ejaculated during sexual intercourse
Prostate Gland
• Single prostate gland located just below urinary bladder (see Figure 10.20)
• Surrounds urethra and when enlarged can cause difficulty in urination
• Secretes alkaline fluid that assists in keeping sperm alive by neutralizing pH of urethra and vagina
Bulbourethral Glands
• Also known as Cowper’s glands
• Two small glands located on either side of urethra just below prostate (see Figure
10.20)
• Produce mucus-like lubricating fluid that joins with semen to become part of ejaculate
