The primary function of the reproductive system is to produce offspring. The male reproductive system produces sperm and transports these gametes to the female reproductive tract so that fertilization of an ovum can take place. The female reproductive system produces ova and houses the developing embryo following fertilization. In this unit we begin with the gross anatomy the male and female reproductive systems; we then examine the microscopic anatomy of the testis and ovary and their roles in the process of gametogenesis. Provide one specific example of how each of the following organ systems interacts with the reproductive system to carry out reproductive functions: Endocrine system:_ Cardiovascular system:_ Respiratory system: _ Urinary system:_

Solution

Endocrine system - this system plays a major role in the reproduction. It produces hormone like Androgen Secreting Hormone which helps in the formation of male and female gamets. It also helps in development after the fusion of the gamets like oestrogen, Progesterone, HGC hormone etc..

Cardiovascular system - it plays a very important role in reproduction process as it helps in transportation of blood, food, nutrition to the growing Fetus. Moreover it also helps in removing the Metabolic waste from Fetus thus prevent it from toxication..

Respiratory system - the baby or the fetus requires good amount of oxygen to grow and respire. So it helps in the exchange of gases of carbon di oxide and oxygen o the mother through which the growing Fetus also absorb the oxygen gives it carbon di oxide hence proper breathing takes places..
