    Study Notes

    Male Reproductive Organs

    • The male reproductive system produces, maintains, and transports sperm and semen.
    • Testes and Scrotum:
      • The testes are two oval-shaped organs located in the scrotum.
      • The scrotum maintains a temperature of around 35°C, essential for healthy sperm production.
      • Testes produce sperm and hormone testosterone, which triggers male secondary sexual characteristics during puberty.
    • Sperm Duct (Vas Deferens):
      • It's a muscular tube that transports mature sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
      • Muscle contractions propel sperm through the duct during ejaculation.
    • Penis:
      • The penis is the external male sex organ, composed of spongy tissue that fills with blood to become erect.
      • The head of the penis is often covered by a loose fold of skin called the foreskin.
      • Sperm are delivered through the penis into the female reproductive tract during ejaculation.
    • Urethra:
      • It's a tube that carries both urine from the bladder and semen from the reproductive tract, but not at the same time.
      • A valve mechanism ensures urine doesn't mix with semen.

    Female Reproductive Organs

    • The female reproductive system produces ova, facilitates fertilization, and supports fetal development.
    • Vagina:
      • It's a muscular canal connecting the cervix of the uterus to the external genitalia.
      • Functions as a receptacle for the penis during intercourse, pathway for menstrual blood, and birth canal.
    • Uterus:
      • It's a hollow, muscular organ housing and nourishing a fertilized egg until birth.
      • The lining (endometrium) thickens each month for potential pregnancy and sheds during menstruation.
    • Ovaries:
      • They're two small, almond-shaped organs producing female sex hormones and storing/releasing eggs.
      • One ovary releases a mature egg each month in a process called ovulation.
    • Oviducts (Fallopian Tubes):
      • They're narrow tubes connecting ovaries to the uterus.
      • During ovulation, an egg travels through the Fallopian tube, and fertilization typically occurs here.
      • The resulting zygote moves to the uterus for implantation and development.
