Study Notes
Reproductive System in Mammals
- The major organs of the reproductive system in mammals include the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females), ducts (vas deferens and epididymis in males, and fallopian tubes and uterus in females), and external genitalia.
Components of the Reproductive System
- The reproductive system consists of internal and external organs, including the gonads, ducts, glands, and external genitalia.
- The pituitary gland is not a component of the reproductive system, but it regulates the system through hormone production.
Diseases of the Human Reproductive System
- Many diseases of the human reproductive system are caused by infectious agents, such as bacterial, viral, or fungal infections.
Genetic Combination
- Sexual reproduction allows for the combination of genetic material between two individuals of the same species.
Reproductive Systems in Other Vertebrates
- Most other vertebrates, including fish, amphibians, and reptiles, have a cloaca, a shared opening for the reproductive, urinary, and digestive systems.
