Lesson 21: Endocrine and reproductive systems

Hi,

This rather large file consists of 158 slides, contain many interesting parts which may not be important for your exams, but interesting enough to learn more about your physical growth and development.

The parts that are examinable are the following:
  • functions of endocrine system
  • hormones, co-ordination
  • definition of hormone
  • exo and endocrine systems
  • hormones that you need to know, insulin, glucagon, adrenaline, oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, anti diuretic hormone
  • pituitary gland, master endocrine gland all other endocrine glands
  • pancreas is both endo and exocrine gland
  • male reproductive system, structure and labels, hormone production
  • female reproductive system, structure and labels, hormones produced
  • menstrual cycle, how it is controlled by the hormones produced by the ovaries
  • STDs
  • process of fertilisation
  • development of zygote over the first 6 days into embryo and implantation
  • functions of amnion
  • development of placenta, organ for respiration, nourishment and excretion of foetus
  • quiz
You need not bother to remember facts about all other hormones not listed above and details of embryo development after implantation. The rest are relevant in your exams.

Enjoy the Powerpoint slides and clear some doubts that you may have on this topic.




Cheers
