• Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms, "offspring", are produced from their "parent" or parents.
• 2 types of reproduction?

  Sexual, and Asexual
• An organism that can reproduce without the involvement of another organism?

  Asexual Reproduction
• The cloning of an organism is a form of asexual reproduction
• Parts of the male reproductive system?

  Seminal vesicle, Bladder, prostate, vas deferens, testicle, epididymis, urethra, penis, scrotum
• Female reproductive system?

  Fallopian Tube

  Uterus

  Ovary

  Fimbriae

  Ovary

  Cervix

  Vagina
• It produces sperm and testorone?

  Testes
• It matures and stores sperm?

  Epididymis
• It carries sperm cells from the Epididymis to the Urethra?

  Sperm Duct
• Produces fluids that turn to semen?

  Seminal Vesicle
• They are pea sized glands present inferior to the prostate gland in the male reproductive system. They produce thick clear mucus prior to ejaculation that drains into the spongy urethra?

  Cowper's gland
• It is located just below the bladder in men and surrounds the top portion of the tube that drains urine from the bladder (urethra). Its primary function is to produce the fluid that nourishes and transports sperm (seminal fluid)?

  Prostate Gland
• Cowper and Prostate gland produce seminal fluid which feeds the sperm and allows them to swim.
• Sperm cells and seminal fluids are collectively called Semen
• It allows the passage for urine or sperm?

  Urethra
• It keeps testes at a lower temperature (35C)?

  Scrotum
• What is the optimum temperature for Sperm cells?

  35C
• It produces ovum, estrogen, and progesterone?

  Ovary
• It channels ovum from the ovary to the uterus?

  Fallopian Tube
• The place where fertilization occurs?

  Fallopian Tube
• It accommodates and protects the embryo?

  Uterus
• This connects the uterus to the Vagina?

  Cervix
• This receives semen from the penis and produces fluid for lubrication?

  Vagina
• This is the repeated cycle of events which occurs every 28 days from puberty to menopause?


  Menstrual Cycle
• This exists to provide a favourable environment in the uterus for the development of the zygote?

  Menstrual Cycle
• Sperm + ovum = zygote
