Biology : Reproduction in Human

A. Reproductive Organ

1. Female gametes (reproductive cell) is called EGG

2. Function of Female reproductive organ:

a. Ovaries : produce eggs and sex hormone
b. Fallopian tubes / oviduct : Channels eggs from ovaries to uterus and place
where fertilization happened
c. Uterus / womb : place of developing embryo and fetus
d. Vagina : receives sperm
e. Cervix : duct witch connect uterus and vagina
f. Endometrium / uterus lining : thickening tissue that ready to receive fertilizzed
egg

3. Male gametes (reproductive cell) is called SPERM or SPERMATOZOA

4. Function of male reproductive organ:

a. Testes : produce sperm
b. Sperm duct : tube that carry sperm to urethra
c. Prostate gland : makes fluid which the sperm swim in
d. Urethra : tubes that carry sperm and urine outside the body at different time

5. How is the egg production?

 At birth, female already have thousands partly developed eggs in her ovaries.
 The egg mature during puberty only one at a time
 The mature egg burst out of ovary into oviduct
 This is called Ovulation : the process of releasing mature egg

6. How is the sperm production?

 Sperm are produce during puberty
 Inside testis there are thousands tubules where sperms are made
 The cell inside tubeles will not develop into sperm if they are too hot.
 This is why the testes are outside the body which are cooler.
