• Ovaries - Produce and develop egg cells. Each ovary releases one egg every month (one ovary releases one egg in the first month, then another ovary releases on next month)
• Fallopian tubes - Serve as a passageway of the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Site of fertilization
• Uterus - A place where a fertilized egg develops. Home for developing fetus
• Vagina - Where sperms are first deposited, also called the birth canal
• Cervix - Entrance from the vagina to the uterus
• Sperm cell - consist of little more than a nucleus in the head, a tail that can move the cell about, and an energy generator known as mitochondria

• Scrotum - Sac (loose pouch-like) of skin which contains the testis
• Penis - Deposits semen (mixture of sperm and fluid) into the vagina during mating or sexual intercourse
• Epididymis - Transports and stores sperm cells that are produced in the testes
• Urethra - Carries semen out of the penis by ejaculation during orgasm
• Prostate gland - Secretes an alkaline fluid that will counteract the acids produced by the female reproductive tract
