What is the result of not being able to reproduce?
What are the reproductive structures of humans called?
What is fertilization?

8. What are the main functions of the female reproductive system?
The organs of the female reproductive system are specialized for three major functions:
To enable sperm to enter the body, to meet with the ova and create a fetus.
The location where a baby develops.
To protect the internal genital organs from infectious organisms.

9. “HI, I’M MARY! C’MON IN AND TAKE A LOOK!”
The female reproductive
system produces ova, a reproductive cell, or gamete.
The ova is are produced by female gonads (sexual glands) called ovaries. All of them are present at birth.

10. HOW DOES THE OVA TRAVEL OUT OF THE BODY?
In a woman's body the fallopian tube allows passage of the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
The uterus, or womb, is a
major female hormone-
responsive reproductive
sex organ.
In the uterus, the fetus develops during gestation.
One end, the cervix, opens into the vagina, while the other is connected to one or both fallopian tubes.

11. HOW DOES THE OVA TRAVEL OUT OF THE BODY?
The cervix is the lower, narrow portion of the uterus where it joins with the top end of the vagina.
The cervix has an opening to
allow sperm and menstrual
fluid to move through.
The vagina is a sex organ with two
main functions: sexual intercourse and childbirth. The vagina is a hollow muscular organ that joins the cervix (the lower part of uterus) to the outside of the body. The vaginal walls are lined in a mucus membrane for protection and to keep it moist.

12. What are the main functions of the male reproductive system?
The organs of the male reproductive system are specialized for three major functions:
To produce, maintain and transport sperm (the male reproductive cells) and protective fluid (semen)
To discharge sperm within the female reproductive tract.
To produce and secrete male sex hormones

13. “HI, I’M STANLEY! C’MON IN AND TAKE A LOOK!”
Sperm refers to the male reproductive cells.
The scrotum is a pouch-like structure that hangs behind the penis. It holds and protects the testes. It also contains numerous nerves and blood vessels.
The testies are the male gonads. They produce sperm and hormones, mainly testosterone.
The scrotum is outside the body bc the sperm need to be kept at a lower temperature than the bodies normal temperature.**
Mammalian sperm cell consists of a head, a
midpiece, and a tail.

14. HOW DOES THE SPERM TRAVEL OUT OF THE BODY?
The epididymis is a whitish mass of tightly coiled tubes cupped against the testicles. It acts as a maturation and storage place for sperm before they pass into the vas deferens, tubes that carry sperm to the ampullary gland and prostatic ducts.
The vas deferens, also known as the sperm duct, is a thin tube that starts from the epididymis to the pelvic cavity.
Coiled epididymis-increases area to hold more.*
The vas deferens, also known as the sperm duct, is a thin tube approximately 43.2 centimetres long that starts from the epididymis to the pelvic cavity.

15. HOW DOES THE SPERM TRAVEL OUT OF THE BODY?
Seminal vesicles are sac-like structures attached to the vas deferens at one side of the bladder. They produce a sticky, yellowish fluid. This fluid provides sperm cells energy.
The urethra is a tube that connects the urinary bladder to the genitals for the removal of fluids from the body. In males, the urethra travels through the penis, and carries semen as well as urine.
The vas deferens, also known as the sperm duct, is a thin tube approximately 43.2 centimetres long that starts from the epididymis to the pelvic cavity.

16. HOW DOES THE SPERM TRAVEL OUT OF THE BODY?
The prostate gland surrounds the ejaculatory ducts at the base of the urethra, just below the bladder. The prostate gland is responsible for the production of semen, a liquid mixture of sperm cells, prostate fluid and seminal fluid.
The penis is the male sex organ. It releases the sperm from the body.
The vas deferens, also known as the sperm duct, is a thin tube approximately 43.2 centimetres long that starts from the epididymis to the pelvic cavity.
