Résumé

TLDRThis lesson focuses on the critical role of hormones in regulating the male and female reproductive systems. It describes how the hypothalamus interacts with the pituitary gland to release key reproductive hormones (GnRH, FSH, and LH) that control various reproductive functions. In males, testosterone facilitates spermatogenesis and influences secondary sexual characteristics, while in females, estrogen and progesterone manage ovulation and endometrial development, along with secondary sexual traits. The lesson emphasizes the importance of hormonal balance and feedback mechanisms in maintaining reproductive health.

Chronologie

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:44

    The lesson introduces the role of hormones in male and female reproductive systems, focusing on the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary's interaction with reproductive hormones. The lesson emphasizes the process beginning at puberty where the hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) to stimulate the anterior pituitary to produce follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) and luteinizing hormones (LH), influencing reproduction in both sexes.

Vidéo Q&R

  • What hormones are involved in male reproduction?

    The key hormones include Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone.

  • How do hormones regulate female reproduction?

    GnRH from the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary to release FSH and LH, which then act on the ovaries to produce estrogen and progesterone.

  • What is the function of testosterone?

    Testosterone stimulates spermatogenesis and the development of secondary male sexual characteristics.

  • What role does estrogen play in female reproduction?

    Estrogen is involved in the growth of the endometrium, ovulation, and the development of secondary female sexual characteristics.

  • How does negative feedback work in the reproductive system?

    Negative feedback mechanisms regulate the release of hormones; for example, high levels of testosterone or inhibin can inhibit GnRH, FSH, and LH release.

  • What triggers the onset of puberty in terms of hormonal changes?

    The hypothalamus and adrenal glands release hormones that initiate the production of GnRH, leading to the onset of puberty.

  • What is the significance of inhibin in the male reproductive system?

    Inhibin slows down spermatogenesis by inhibiting the release of GnRH and FSH when sperm count is high.

  • What is the importance of the Sertoli cells in males?

    Sertoli cells facilitate spermatogenesis and produce inhibin to regulate sperm production.

    hello students welcome to great and
  • 00:00:03
    science lesson
  • 00:00:04
    and i'm your teacher mom marian soriano
  • 00:00:08
    when you were in grade 5 you have
  • 00:00:10
    learned about the different parts of the
  • 00:00:11
    male and female reproductive systems
  • 00:00:15
    you have learned also from our previous
  • 00:00:17
    lesson the hormones produced by the male
  • 00:00:19
    and female reproductive lands
  • 00:00:22
    let's find out more the role of hormones
  • 00:00:24
    in male and female reproductive systems
  • 00:00:28
    lesson 3 the role of hormones in female
  • 00:00:32
    and male reproductive systems
  • 00:00:35
    the human female and male reproductive
  • 00:00:38
    cycles are controlled by the interaction
  • 00:00:40
    of hormones from the hypothalamus
  • 00:00:42
    and anterior pituitary with hormones
  • 00:00:44
    from reproductive tissues
  • 00:00:46
    and organs in both sexes
  • 00:00:49
    the hypothalamus monitors and causes the
  • 00:00:51
    release of hormones from the pituitary
  • 00:00:53
    gland
  • 00:00:56
    when the reproductive hormone is
  • 00:00:58
    required the hypothalamus sends a
  • 00:01:00
    gonadotropin-releasing hormone
  • 00:01:02
    or gnrh to the anterior pituitary gland
  • 00:01:08
    this causes the release of follicle
  • 00:01:10
    stimulating hormones or fsh
  • 00:01:13
    and luteinizing hormones or lh from the
  • 00:01:15
    anterior pituitary gland
  • 00:01:17
    into the blood remember that the body
  • 00:01:20
    must reach puberty in order for the
  • 00:01:22
    adrenal glands to release the hormones
  • 00:01:24
    that must be present for
  • 00:01:26
    gnrh to be produced
  • 00:01:31
    regulation of reproductive hormone
  • 00:01:33
    secretion in males
  • 00:01:37
    at start of puberty the hypothalamus
  • 00:01:40
    will release
  • 00:01:40
    gnrh to stimulate the anterior pituitary
  • 00:01:43
    gland to produce and release lh
  • 00:01:46
    and fsh
  • 00:01:49
    the fsh and lh released by the pipitar
  • 00:01:51
    gland will travel into the male
  • 00:01:53
    reproductive
  • 00:01:54
    system follicle stimulating hormone
  • 00:01:57
    enters the test test and stimulates the
  • 00:01:59
    serotonin cells to begin facilitating
  • 00:02:02
    spermatogenesis
  • 00:02:03
    using negative feedback
  • 00:02:08
    neutronizing hormone also enters the
  • 00:02:11
    test test and stimulates the
  • 00:02:12
    inter-tissue cells of lady to make and
  • 00:02:15
    release testosterone
  • 00:02:16
    into the testis and the blood
  • 00:02:20
    the main functions of the hormone
  • 00:02:22
    testosterone are the following
  • 00:02:24
    it stimulates spermatogenesis and also
  • 00:02:27
    for the secondary male sexual
  • 00:02:29
    characteristics just like
  • 00:02:30
    deepening of the voice the growth of
  • 00:02:33
    facial axillary and pubic hair and the
  • 00:02:36
    beginnings of the sexual urge
  • 00:02:40
    a negative feedback system occurs in the
  • 00:02:42
    male with rising levels of testosterone
  • 00:02:45
    acting on the hypothalamus and anterior
  • 00:02:47
    pituitary
  • 00:02:48
    to inhibit the release of gonodotomy
  • 00:02:50
    releasing hormones
  • 00:02:52
    follicle stimulating hormones and
  • 00:02:54
    luteinizing hormones
  • 00:02:56
    the sertoli cells produce the hormone
  • 00:02:58
    inhibin which is released into the blood
  • 00:03:00
    when the sperm count is too high
  • 00:03:03
    this inhibits the release of gnrh and
  • 00:03:06
    fsh
  • 00:03:06
    which will cause spermatogenesis to slow
  • 00:03:09
    down
  • 00:03:14
    however if the sperm count reaches 20
  • 00:03:17
    million per milliliters
  • 00:03:19
    the sertoli cells stop the release of
  • 00:03:21
    inhibin and the sperm count increases
  • 00:03:23
    again
  • 00:03:26
    regulation of reproductive hormone
  • 00:03:28
    secretion in females
  • 00:03:33
    the female reproductive system is also
  • 00:03:35
    regulated by hormones
  • 00:03:37
    the gnrh from hypothalamus stimulates
  • 00:03:40
    the pituitary gland to release the
  • 00:03:41
    hormones
  • 00:03:42
    fsh and lh into the ovaries
  • 00:03:49
    dilutinizing hormones and follicle
  • 00:03:51
    stimulating hormones
  • 00:03:53
    stimulates the ovaries to produce
  • 00:03:55
    estrogen and progesterone
  • 00:03:58
    estrogen is the reproductive hormone in
  • 00:04:00
    females
  • 00:04:01
    that assist in endometrial regrowth
  • 00:04:04
    ovulation
  • 00:04:05
    and calcium absorption it is also
  • 00:04:08
    responsible for the secondary sexual
  • 00:04:10
    characteristics
  • 00:04:11
    of females these include breast
  • 00:04:13
    development
  • 00:04:14
    flaring of the hips and a shorter period
  • 00:04:17
    necessary for bone maturation
  • 00:04:19
    [Music]
  • 00:04:22
    progesterone are released from
  • 00:04:23
    developing follicles
  • 00:04:25
    it also assists in endometrial regrowth
  • 00:04:29
    and stops or inhibits the release of fsh
  • 00:04:32
    and lh in addition
  • 00:04:36
    follicle stimulating hormone stimulates
  • 00:04:38
    development of egg cells called ova
  • 00:04:41
    which develop in structures called
  • 00:04:43
    follicles
  • 00:04:46
    follicle cells produce the hormone
  • 00:04:48
    inhibin
  • 00:04:49
    which inhibits or stops the releasing of
  • 00:04:52
    follicle stimulating hormones
  • 00:04:55
    this gives negative feedback in the
  • 00:04:57
    female reproductive system
  • 00:05:04
    always remember that hormones play an
  • 00:05:06
    important role in both male and female
  • 00:05:08
    reproductive systems
  • 00:05:11
    with the help of the hypothalamus the
  • 00:05:13
    pititary gland
  • 00:05:14
    controls the functions of both testes
  • 00:05:16
    and the ovaries
  • 00:05:18
    these hormones keep the reproductive
  • 00:05:20
    system properly functioning
  • 00:05:25
