  Reproductive system
• a hollow tube that also contains the urethra

  Penis
• responsible for the production of semen which conatains the sperm

  Testes
• stores the seprm and serves as the site for sperm cell maturation; a comma shaped part

  Epididymis
• a pouchlike or bag part that holds the testes

  Scrotum
• the passageway of both urine and semen

  Urethra
• a long transport tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct

  Vas deferens
• carries sperm to the urethra; formede by the vas deferens and seminal vesicle

  Ejaculatory duct
• secretes an alkaline fluid that contains sugar which provides energy to the sperm cell

  Seminal vesicle
• releases a milky fluid that liquefies the semen

  Prostate gland
• secretes an alkaline substance in the urethra, which neutralizes the acid from the urine

  Bulborethral or Cowper's gland
• the process of producing sperm

  Spermatogenesis
• encloses the nucleus which carries the male's genetic material

  Head
• contains the mitochondria that provide energy for the sperm to move

  Middle piece
• used by sperm cell for movement

  Tail
• produces egg cell; the main reproductive organ of the female reproductive system

  Ovary
• serves as the passageway of the egg

  Fallopian tube
• womb; the part where zygote grows and develops

  Uterus
• the part that seperates the uterus from the vagina

  Cervix
• a hollow tube that serves as the passageway out of the female reproductive system

  Vagina
• this will develop into mature egg cells

  Oocytes
• the release of the egg cell in the ovary

  Ovulation
• the first menstrual period


  Menarche
• How long is the menstrual cycle?

  28 days
• is the process when the egg cell and the sperm cell unite

  Fertilization
• responsible for your quick reaction

  Nervous system
• serves as the processing area of the nervous system

  Central Nervous System (CNS)
• the nervous system is divided into 2 which is ?

  Central Nervous System (CNS) & Peripheral Nervous Sytem (PNS)
• part of the nervous sytem that processes and interprets the signals transmitted to it; important part of the nervous system

  Brain
• serves as the connection from the brain to the rest of the body

  Spinal cord
• PNS (peripheral nervous system) is divided into 2. What is those 2?

  somatic nervous system (SNS) & autonomic nervous system (ANS)
• includes the motor nerves that connect to the skeletal muscles that function voluntarily

  Somatic Nervous System (SNS)
• regulates the smooth and cardiac muscles as well as other glands; it works involuntarily

  autonomic nervous system (ANS)
• autonomic nervous system contain 2 more nervous sytem which is?

  Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous system
• activated during physical or emotional stress; stimulated everytime we feel fear, embarassment, or anger

  sympathetic nervous system
• functions whenever the body is at rest and recovery

  parasympathetic nervous system
• controls the left side of the body; controls different skills such as speaking, writing, numerical, and scientific skills, as well as sign language and reasoning

  Left hemisphere
• controls the right side of the body; related to spatial intelligence, pattern, and face recognition, as well as musical ability

  Right hemisphere
• controls some voluntary motor functions, different moods, and sense of smell

  Frontal lobe
• controls most of the senses such as touch and taste; responsible to controlling pain, body temperature, and balance

  Parietal lobe
