Today in class we discussed the structures of the reproductive systems, and the effects of puberty in both the male and female body.

Male reproductive system:

Female reproductive system:

Male testes produce testosterone the male hormone that creates many changes in the body.

-hair growth in new places

-larynx enlarges causing deepened voice

-broaden shoulders

Female ovaries produce estrogen the female hormone this causes.

-breast development

-widened hips

-menstruation

The menstrual cycle occurs about every month and can last for a couple days. During the menstrual cycle an egg leaves the ovaries, this is called ovulation, and the uterine lining thickens.
