Opening
Today we will be learning about
sexual reproduction in animals. Now,
reproduction is a very complicated
biological process but before we go
into that, let's start with one not-sosimple question- Who are we and
where did we come from? To help you
answer this, let me give you a promtWhat was your very first identity or
very first memory?"- "For most of us, it
is our parents. We were born because
our parents were born, our parents
were born because our grandparents
were born... and so on.." "But what is
being born? It is coming out of our
mother's womb, as most of us might
know but how did we get there? That
is precisely the question we will try to

Reproduction:
1) What is sexual reproduction?
2) Who are involved in the process of
reproduction?
3) Female reproductive organs
4) Male reproductive organs
5) Process of reproduction
"Sexual Reproduction is the biological
process by which new individual
organisms – "offspring" – are
produced from their parents"
"The process involves two individualsone male and one female who have
achieved reproductive age.
Reproductive age is the age where
people are able to reproduce. Strictly
biologically speaking, it starts with the
onset of puberty at around the ages
11-13years. Puberty is when a child's
body begins to develop and change
as they become an adult. Girls
develop breasts and start their
periods. Boys develop a deeper voice
and facial hair will start to appear. The
average age for girls to begin puberty
is 11, while for boys the average age
is 12."
"We know that the human body has
specific systems of organs allotted to
specific functions for example the
nervous system and respiratory
system. Every system consits of a set
of organs that help in the process.
Similarly, for reproduction, we have
the Reproductive system. The
reproductive system of an organism,
also known as the genital system, is
the biological system made up of all
the anatomical organs involved in
sexual reproduction. The reproductive
organs are different in a human male
and a human female. Let's begin with
the female reproductory organs.
The female reproductory organs
consist of a) Uterus (womb): The
uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ
that is the home to a developing baby.
The uterus is divided into two parts:
The cervix, which is the lower part
that opens into the vagina, and the
main body of the uterus, called the
corpus. The corpus can easily expand
to hold a developing baby.
b)Vagina: The vagina is a canal that
joins the cervix (the lower part of
uterus) to the outside of the body. It
also is known as the birth canal.
c) Ovaries: The ovaries are small,
oval-shaped glands that are located
when they don't
understand a
concept by raising
hands or putting in
the chatbox
on either side of the uterus. The
ovaries produce eggs and hormones.
d) Fallopian tubes: These are narrow
tubes that are attached to the upper
part of the uterus and serve as
tunnels for the ova (egg cells) to travel
from the ovaries to the uterus.
Conception, the fertilization of an egg
by a sperm, normally occurs in the
fallopian tubes. The fertilized egg then
moves to the uterus, where it implants
into the lining of the uterine wall."
"Moving on to the male reproductory
organs. These consist of:
a) Penis: It has three parts: the root,
which attaches to the wall of the
abdomen; the body, or shaft; and the
glans, which is the cone-shaped part
at the end of the penis.
b) Scrotum: This is the loose pouchlike sac of skin that hangs behind and
below the penis. It contains the
testicles (also called testes), as well
as many nerves and blood vessels.
c) Testicles (testes): These are oval
organs about the size of large olives
that lie in the scrotum, secured at
either end by a structure called the
spermatic cord. Most men have two
testes. Within the testes are coiled
masses of tubes called seminiferous
tubules. These tubes are responsible
for producing sperm cells.
The Process of Reproduction: In a
male organism, the testes are
responsible for creating sperms.
Sperms are single cells that are
directly responsible for creating a
baby. A similar single cell called the
ovum is contained by the ovaries in a
female since the time of birth. Every
month, since hitting puberty, the
female body releases one ovum.
When the male reproductive organ,
Penis, is inserted in the female
reproductory organ, vagina, sprems
are released into the vagina and one
of those sperms travel up to the
fallopian tubes to attach itself to the
ovum. This process is known as
Fertilisation. The two cells merge
together to form another cell known as
the zygote. This zygote then breaks
up into multiple cells and keeps
growing. During this process of
growing and multiplying, the zygote
gradually moves from the fallopian
tubes to the uterus where the baby
takes form.

"Let us quickly recap what we learnt
today. We began with why
reproduction is an essetial function,
moved on to the different reprouctory
organs and their uses and finally the
process."
"Reproduction is the sole reason for
our existence and there are several
nuances to the process. What we
learnt today is a strictly biological
overview. As we grow, we learn about
the social implications of reproduction
and it's important to be conscious of
how we involve ourselves in this
process."
