Human Reproduction
- The testes are outside the body in a sac called the scrotum.
- Sperm is produced inside the testes.
- Sperm develops tails and swims up the seed tubes.
- Muscles in the sperm ducts force the sperm out of the penis.
- The prostate gland adds liquid (semen) to the sperm.
- Semen provides food and helps sperm swim faster.
- The penis places sperm into the vagina.
- A penis erection stiffens the penis for placing sperm.
- The female reproductive system consists of ovaries, fallopian tubes, the womb (uterus), and the vagina.
- The ovaries are the female reproductive glands that produce egg cells.
- Fallopian tubes move egg cells.
- The womb/uterus is where the baby grows.
