Sexual Reproduction involves the production of egg and sperm
Egg and sperm join together in fertilization
A fertilized egg is called a zygote
The purpose of sexual reproduction is to increase the diversity of traits within a species

6. Glands of the Endocrine System
Pituitary: “master” gland, controls other endocrine glands and controls growth, water balance, and blood pressure
Adrenal: produces adrenaline, a chemical that controls “flight or fight” response
Pancreas: produces insulin which regulates blood sugar
Thyroid: regulates metabolism (getting energy from food)
Ovaries & Testes: release sex hormones which regulate puberty and development
