Male & Female Reproductive Systems Analogy
By Michael McGaugh
MALE
MALE
In this presentation I will compare the male and female reproductive systems to a railroad system.
Scrotum
Scrotum
The scrotum is like the station building, it is exposed to open air and it contains many other parts of the system.
Testes
The testes are very similar to the platform of the train station. It is where people wait to board a train.
Testes
Epididymis
The epididymis is like the waiting rooms of a train station. It is were people wait just before departure.
Epididymis
Vas Deferens
The vas deferens is like the pathway from the station building to the platform. This is because the vas deferens connects the testes to the urethra.
Vas Deferens
Cowper's Glands
The cowper's gland is like a safety barrier, because both things help to keep the urethra (train tracks) safe.
Cowper's Glands
Seminal Vesicle
The seminal vesicle is like the luggage holder. If humans are like sperm, then their luggage is like the extra fluids in semen. Thus the luggage holder provides these extra fluids.
Seminal Vesicle
Prostate Gland
The prostate gland is like stores at a train station. Because it nourishes and feeds sperm, and sperm in this case are humans, humans are feed and nourished by stores.
Prostate Gland
Penis
The penis is like the tunnel of a railroad. This is because it contains the urethra.
Penis
Ejaculation
Ejaculation is the departure of the train. This is when sperm/humans leave the station/system.
Ejaculation
Testosterone
Testosterone is like the employees at a train station, because it stimulates development of the system.
Testosterone
Sperm
The sperm are the humans in the train-station. They are both the component moved throughout the system.
Sperm
Semen
Semen includes sperm and other fluids, thus semen is the people (sperm) and their luggage (fluids).
Semen
Female
The female reproductive system will also be compared to a railway system.
FEMALE
Subtopic 1
Ovary
The ovary is like the station building, it is where the egg starts its journey through the system. Humans start travel by railroad at the station building.
Egg
The egg is like a human passenger. Both will travel through the system and eventually leave the system.
Subtopic 2
Ovulation
Ovulation is like when the human goes from the station building, through a pathway, and onto the boarding platform.
Subtopic 3
Follicle
The follicle is like a waiting room. A human (egg) spends a lot of time here before leaving the station building (ovary)
Subtopic 4
Fimbriae
The fimbriae is much like a doorway, it is used to bring the egg (human) into the fallopian tube (hallway).
Subtopic 5
Fallopian Tubes
The fallopian tubes are like the pathway from the station building (ovary) to the platform (uterus).
Subtopic 6
Endometrium
The edometrium is like other passengers. This is because they leave the system through the railway (vagina) when the egg leaves during the menstrual cycle.
Subtopic 7
Uterus
The uterus is like the platform. It is where the egg (human) will spend a lot of its time before exiting through the vagina (railway).
Subtopic 8
Cervix
The cervix is like the train's loading station. It is the last point before leaving the platform (uterus) and entering the actual railway (vagina)
Subtopic 9
Vagina
This analogy is to a railroad. Because this is the pathway that the passenger (egg) takes to leave the system.
Subtopic 10
Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle is like the train schedule. It is the timing schedule used by the entire system.
Subtopic 11
Estrogen
Estrogen is like the train conductor. This is because the conductor advances the system and keeps it functioning.
