THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Corpus luteum secretes progesterone that enhances the thickening of the ovarian walls. This facilitates preparation of implantation of an egg that is already fertilized. The thickening of the walls is paramount because it’s meant to maintain the pregnancy. A defect always occurs whenever the Corpus luteum fails to release the required progesterone. For this reason, if this error occurs the walls will not be thickened, and implantation is impaired. In case a pregnancy has already taken place, the fertilized egg may be flushed out when someone is experiencing menstruation (Rogers, 2011). For this reason, a full-term pregnancy is not possible at all.
The reproductive system plays a significant role in human life by enabling development of new people. However, this system is connected with the muscular, circulatory and the nervous systems. Its relations to the nervous system are explained through the possible erection in males and secretion by women after sexual arousal. The muscular system is also linked to the reproductive system especially during childbirth. It enables contractions of the muscles to allow easier delivery. On the other hand, the circulatory system allows for proper thickening of the uterine walls that facilitates implantation of an egg.
The endocrine system is influenced by the hormones released by the reproductive system first, the reproductive organs produce progesterone or testosterone that assist in increasing the sexual drive. All these hormones are connected to the endocrine system. The reproductive organ like the testis, for instance, synthesizes some of the hormones (Sherwood, Burchart, & Sherwood, 2013). Therefore, it makes it as a secondary endocrine system. Similarly, the nervous system is influenced by the hormones rele...
