Ello! It's Rachie In the beginning of class we went over the Male and Female Reproductive structures where you could match the word to the correct parts. You can find it on Moodle if you want to practice!
Second, we learned about the Endocrine System. Which regulates MANY bodily functions and maintains homeostasis. In simpler words, it influences almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies.
Next, we went over slides about the Male/Female Secondary Sex Characteristics.
Male:
During puberty, FSH stimulates testes to produce testosterone.
Your probably wondering... what in the world does FSH stand for!?
F ollicle
S timulating
H ormone
It is released by the pituitary gland. Testosterone causes:
- Larynx to enlarge
- Broad Shoulders
- Facial/Pubic Hair
- Muscle growth
During puberty, FSH stimulates ovaries to produce estrogen. Estrogen causes:
- Breast development
- widening of hips
- menstruation
Remember: Hormones regulate the menstrual cycle.
