Study Notes

The text is about the human reproductive system, discussing both the female and male systems.
Reproduction is a vital function in the human body responsible for the continuation of the species through the birth of new humans.
The reproductive process begins during puberty, a period where secondary sexual characteristics develop.
Female reproductive system includes: ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva.
- Ovaries: small almond-shaped organs responsible for producing female sexual cells called ova or eggs.
- Fallopian tubes: conducts that facilitate the transportation of the ovum from the ovaries to the uterus.
- Uterus: muscular organ where a fetus develops during pregnancy.
- Vagina: conduct that connects the uterus to the exterior, a passageway for semen and the birth of a baby.
- Vulva: external reproductive organs, primarily responsible for protecting the orifices from the exterior.
Male reproductive system includes: penis, urethra, testicles, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, and prostate.
- Penis: male organ with a shaft and glans, consisting of an opening for the semen and urine.
- Urethra: shared organ between the urinary and reproductive systems, responsible for expelling urine and semen.
- Testicles: oval-shaped organs responsible for producing and storing millions of sperm cells.
- Vas deferens: conducts that connect the testicles to the urethra.
- Seminal vesicle: gland that produces a significant portion of the seminal fluid that nourishes sperm.
- Prostate: gland responsible for producing the remaining components of seminal fluid.
