    Study Notes

    Reproductive System Basics

    • The primary sex organs are called gonads, which produce gametes (sex cells).
    • The function of gonads is to produce gametes and sex hormones.

    Male Reproductive System

    • Male gametes are called sperm.
    • The testes are the primary sex organs in males, producing sperm.
    • The epididymis is a tube-like structure where sperm matures and is stored.
    • The main function of the epididymis is to store and mature sperm.
    • The ductus deferens (vas deferens) is a muscular tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
    • The function of the ductus deferens is to transport sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
    • The seminal vesicles are accessory organs that secrete a fluid that contributes to semen.
    • The seminal vesicles are located near the base of the bladder.
    • The bulbourethral glands are accessory organs that secrete a milky fluid to help activate sperm.
    • The bulbourethral glands are located near the base of the penis.
    • The urethra is a tube that carries semen and urine out of the body.
    • Sperm travels through the seminiferous tubules to reach the epididymis.
    • The seminiferous tubules are the structures where sperm is produced.
    • The tunica albuginea is the capsule that surrounds each testis.
    • Septa extend into the testis, dividing it into lobules.
    • The epididymis is a tube-like structure with a coiled shape.

    Female Reproductive System

    • The primary sex organ in females is the ovaries.
    • Ovaries produce egg cells (ova).
