Study Notes
Gonads and Their Function
- Gonads are the primary reproductive organs, consisting of testes in males and ovaries in females.
- The primary function of gonads is to produce gametes (sperm or ova) and sex hormones.
Male Gonads
- Testes produce sperm and testosterone.
- The duct system in males, including the vas deferens, transports sperm.
Female Gonads
- Ovaries produce ova (eggs) and the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone.
- The fallopian tubes transport ova in females.
Male Reproductive System
- Consists of testes, penis, duct systems (e.g., vas deferens), and accessory glands (e.g., prostate).
- Accessory glands produce seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm.
Female Reproductive System
- Consists of ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina.
- Female structures support fertilization, embryo development, and childbirth.
