Study Notes
Female Reproductive System
- The fallopian tubes, also known as oviducts, are narrow tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus, allowing the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus, and providing a site for fertilization.
Hormones in Reproduction
- Progesterone is a hormone that prepares the uterus to implant a fertilized egg, maintaining the uterine lining and supporting embryonic development during pregnancy.
Male Reproductive System
- The main function of the male reproductive system is to produce and transport sperm for fertilization of the egg, involving the production and maturation of sperm in the testes, epididymis, and vas deferens.
