The urethra is a tube that carries urine and semen out of the body.
The reproductive system, also known as the genital system, is a biological system made up of all anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction.
There are two types of reproductive systems for humans: the male and female reproductive systems.
The male reproductive system is in charge of producing male gametes, or sperm cells, and its goal is to transfer these male gametes onto the female.
The female reproductive system produces female gametes, or egg cells, and receives the male gametes produced by the male reproductive system.
The female reproductive system carries the baby throughout its development.
The male reproductive system consists of the vas deferens, urethra, penis, foreskin, seminal vesicle, ejaculatory duct, prostate gland, cowper's gland, epididymis, testis, scrotum, and skin.
The external structures of the male reproductive system include the pennies, scrotum, and testis.
The pennies of the male reproductive system deposit the sperm into the vagina during mating.
The scrotum of the male reproductive system hangs behind the penis and contains the testicles, acting as a climate control system for the test test.
The testis of the male reproductive system is responsible for making testosterone and producing sperm cells, and it is also a part of the endocrine system.
The epididymis of the male reproductive system is a long tube that rests on the back part of the test test and its function is to carry, store, and bring the sperm to maturity.
The function of the seminal vesicle is to produce fructose, which nourishes the sperms and gives them energy.
The copper's gland or the bulborethral gland produces a fluid that serves as lubrication for the urethra.
The uterus is the part of the female reproductive system where the embryo implants and grows.
The prostate gland is a walnut-like structure which gives additional fluid to the sperms and helps nourish them.
The ovary is a site of oogenesis, producing egg cells or the ovum, and also produces hormones estrogen and progesterone.
The fimbriae is in charge of picking up the ovum or the egg cell from the ovary and it catches the egg, which then passes through the fallopian tube, also known as the oviduct, and it is the site of fertilization.
The urethra is the passageway of urine in males and the passageway of semen in females.
The seminal vesicle is the first of the three important small glands found inside the male reproductive system.
The endometrium nourishes the embryo and is the part of the female reproductive system that sheds during menstruation, also known as the uterine or uterus lining.
The pituitary gland, also known as the master gland, is part of the endocrine system and is an important part of the reproductive system.
The vagina is the entrance of the penis, also called the birth canal.
The pathway of the sperm involves the male depositing the sperm into the vagina, where it swims towards the cervix and then goes to the uterus and fallopian tube.
Hormones are chemical messengers of the body that maintain homeostasis, and they are produced by different glands which are part of the endocrine system.
Females have two ovaries that alternate each month to produce an egg or ovum, while males can release millions of sperms in every ejaculation.
The male reproductive system is made up of muscles, including the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles.
The cervix is the muscular opening of the uterus, made up of a muscle that can expand and contract.
The egg cell is very large compared to a sperm cell, and its pathway involves catching by the fimbriae in the fallopian tube, waiting for a sperm cell, and then going down to the uterus.
If the egg cell meets a sperm cell, it is fertilized and goes down to the uterus, resulting in a baby.
Fallopian tube is the site of egg fertilization, where a zygote is formed after the egg cell unites with the sperm cell.
Examples of hormones include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, which can be found in both male and females.
If the egg cell is not fertilized, it will come down as menstruation.
The female reproductive system is also made up of muscles, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina.
Fsh and lh have different functions for males and females, with fsh signaling the development of sperm cell for males and egg cell for females, and lh signaling the production of testosterone for males and estradiol for females.
The pituitary gland is the master gland that directs everything or every part of the endocrine system it is connected to, including the nervous system, brain, circulatory system, heart, respiratory system, marine lungs, endocrine system.
Estrogen is responsible for the female sex characteristics and is produced by the ovaries prior to ovulation.
Testosterone is the most important male hormone because it has a lot of functions for regulating sex differentiation, male sex characteristics, spermatogenesis, and fertility.
Progesterone is secreted by the ovaries after ovulation if the egg is not fertilized, this leads to menstruation.
Hormones have various effects such as uterine contraction, lactation, water reabsorption, and thyroid function.
