a. Ovaries
u students in overview
i. Situated near the kidney
d
of mammalian
ii. Produce ova (eggs) (sex cell or gamete)
y
reproductive
iii. Produce the sex hormones oestrogen
anatomy
which creates lining of the uterus and
progesterone which prevents the
production of another ovum during
pregnancy
b. Fallopian Tubes
i. Also known as the egg tube or oviduct
ii. Tube that has a funnel shaped opening
very near to each ovary
iii. Ova are released into this tube
iv. Fertilization usually takes place here.
c. Uterus

i. The fallopian tubes unite and form an
expanded tubular organ called the
uterus or womb.
ii. Thick walls made of muscle tissue
iii. Zygotes or the fertilized ovum implant
into the uterine wall and develop into an
embryo
iv. It is about the size of a fist but expands
during pregnancy
v. At the base is a small muscular ring
called the cervix which leads to the
vagina.
d. Vagina
i. This tubular opening connects the uterus
to the outside of the body.
ii. It is where sperm is deposited.
2. Male Reproductive System
a. Testes
i. Testes produce sperm (male sex cell or
gamete)
ii. also endocrine glands which secrete the
sex hormone testosterone
iii. A pouch of skin called the scrotum
protects the testes.
iv. The scrotum hangs away from the body
and maintains the testes at a slightly
lower body temperature (34 C) required
in normal sperm development in
humans.
v. Epididiymis temporarily stores sperm.
vi. From the epididimyis the sperm travels
through the sperm duct or vas deferens
which then transports sperm to the
penis.
b. Seminal vesicles and prostate gland
i. The two seminal vesicles in conjunction
with the prostate gland create a liquid
which mixes with sperm as it passes
through the vas deferens. The fluid
provides nourishment and protection to
sperm.
ii. The combined sperm and liquid is called
semen.
c. Penis
i. The penis is a copulatory organ.
Copulation is the act of the male sex
organ entering the female sex organ.
ii. Used to introduce sperm into the
vagina, called ejaculation.
iii. The urethra carries both urine and
semen.
