• Menstruation is not a part of the reproductive system that involves the egg, oviduct, and uterus.

Conditions for Sexual Reproduction

• The male and female gametes must meet for sexual reproduction to happen.

Scrotum Function

• The scrotum maintains an optimal temperature for sperm survival.

Epididymis Function

• The epididymis stores sperm and carries it to the vas deferens.

Circumcision

• Circumcision is not related to fertilization, but rather to hygiene, religious practices, and tradition.

Vas Deferens Function

• The vas deferens transports mature sperm to the urethra.

Penis Function

• The penis does not receive egg cells, but rather delivers sperm cells into the female reproductive tract.
• The penis also excretes urine.

Ejaculate Composition

• The seminal vesicles produce the largest portion of a man's ejaculate.

Seminal Vesicles Function

• The seminal vesicles add extra fluid to the ejaculate.

Bulbourethral (Cowper's) Glands Function

• The bulbourethral (Cowper's) glands produce fluid that lubricates the urethra and neutralizes urine-related acidity.

Vas Deferens Role in Ejaculation

• The vas deferens transports mature sperm to the urethra during ejaculation.

Scrotum Role in Temperature Regulation

• The scrotum contracts and relaxes to move the testicles close to the body, maintaining an optimal temperature.

Female Reproductive System

• The female reproductive system permits copulation, produces sex cells, produces hormones, and houses the embryo resulting from fertilization.

Unfertilized Ovum

• If an ovum is not fertilized, it is expelled through menstruation.

Clitoris

• The clitoris is a small erectile structure located at the junction of the labia minora.

Fallopian Tubes Function

• The fallopian tubes transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.

Ovaries Function

• The ovaries secrete estrogen and progesterone.

Hymen

• The hymen is a thin membrane that completely or partially covers the vaginal opening.

Ovarian Hormone Secretion

• The ovaries produce and secrete progesterone and estrogen.

Uterus Connection
