REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

•Reproduction is a process in which

organisms produce new organisms
to avoid species extinction. In
humans, sexual reproduction
happens, meaning the process
needs male and female parent.

Reproductive Organ
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
•The penis is the male organ used
during sexual intercourse to transfer
sperm to the female reproductive
tract.
•The male reproductive system is
composed of different organs working
together to perform reproduction.
•The testis (plural: testes) as
the primary organ is tasked to
make sperm cell that is used
to reproduce new organism.
•Epididymis is the site for
maturation of the sperm cell to
develop swimming ability.
The vas deferens is a long tube that
connects the testis and the
prostate gland for the pathway of
the sperm during ejaculation.
Ejaculation is the process of
releasing sperm out of the system.
•Seminal vesicle is the organ
responsible for the secretion
of fluids containing fructose,
mucus and prostaglandins.
•The mucus content is for cell
protection while prostaglandin
content triggers uterine
contraction. Prostate gland is the
reason of the smell of the semen
which is due to alkaline fluid that
neutralizes vaginal acids.
•Urethra is the part of the
system that conducts semen
(sperm with other fluids) to go
outside the body through the
penis.
•Parts of the Female
Reproductive Organ
•The female reproductive organ is
primarily responsible for the
production, maintenance,
implantation and elimination of egg
cells.
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
•The ovary is where the egg
cells (oocytes) get matured
and is released. Fimbria
sweeps the matured eggs to
the fallopian tube or oviduct.
•The egg goes to the uterus
wherein eggs may be either
fertilized in the presence of
sperm cell or eliminated by
means of menstruation.
•During implantation, the part
called endometrium, a lining
in the uterus thickens to do
the process.
•Vagina is the passage
going to the uterus. It is
where penis is inserted and
menstrual blood goes out.
•When a mature egg is released from an
ovary, ovulation occurs. The released
egg travels through an oviduct, a tube
connected to a fallopian tube which
allows the egg to go to either the uterus
or outside the female’s body.
•The uterus is a small, muscular, pear-
shaped organ that lies between the
ovaries. A fertilized egg can grow and
develop in it. The muscular walls of
the uterus stretch as the fertilized
egg divides and grows.
•If an egg fails to become fertilized,
it leaves a female’s body through
an opening called the vagina. This
is not the vagina’s only function
though. It is also where a baby
passes through during birth.
