• or genital system.
• is a system of sex organs
within an organism which

purpose of sexual
reproduction.
• survival of species, by:
1. producing sperm and egg cell
2. nurturing a developing fetus
3. producing hormones
Male:
• Produce and deposit sperm cells
Female:
• Produce eggs
• Receive sperm

• Give birth
• tube that carries
urine and sperm
out of the body
• Part responsible during mating
• Deposits sperms into the vagina
during mating
• Has root, body (shaft), and glans
(tip/head)
• Tissues:
• corpus cavernosum (two masses of
erectile tissue forming the bulk of
the penis
• Corpus spongiosum (a mass of
erectile tissue alongside the
corpora cavernosa of the penis and
terminating in the glans)
• Provide liquid in which sperm can
swim
a. Seminal Vesicle
b. Prostate Gland
c. Bulbourethral
Gland
• attached to vas
deferens

• produce a sugar-
rich fluid (fructose)
for the semen
• secretes a slightly
milky fluid that
forms part of the
seminal fluid.
• Cowper's Gland
• secretes viscous,
clear, and salty liquid
that neutralizes any
residual acidity in
the urethra
• Pre-cum. Pre-
ejaculation
• also known as
testicles

• produces
sperm cells
• sac of skin
that holds
the testes
 Other Terms
• Semen or Seminal Fluid – contains
secretions and sperm cells
• Sperm Cells – aka spermatozoa;
male sex cell/gametes
• Gametes – sex cells; egg and sperm
cells
• Egg Cells – ovum, ova, oocyte;
female sex cell/ gametes
 Other Terms
• Zygote – fertilized egg cell
• Fertilization – union of egg and
sperm cells
• Spermatogenesis – production
of sperm
• Oogenesis – production of egg
cells
 Other Terms
• Ovulation – release of mature egg
cells
• Sex – sexual intercourse, coitus,
copulation, mating, to copulate
