Study Notes
Reproductive System
- Vertebrates have gonads (ovaries and testes) as gamete-producing organs.
- The biological system comprised of all the anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction is called the reproductive system.
Mammalian Reproductive System
- The major organs of the mammalian reproductive system do not include the brain.
- Hormones and external genitalia are important accessories to the reproductive system, apart from anatomical organs.
Female Reproductive System
- The oviducts connect the female gonads (ovaries) to an opening to the outside of the body in vertebrates.
Test your knowledge about the anatomical organs and processes involved in sexual reproduction. Explore the roles of fluids, hormones, and pheromones in the reproductive system, as well as the differences between sexes in differentiated species.
