The document summarizes the human reproductive system. It describes how the male and female reproductive systems work together for sexual reproduction through various sex organs. The female system includes the vagina, uterus, and ovaries, while the male system consists of testes that produce sperm and a penis. Hormones and other substances also play important roles in the reproductive process.
2. ● The Reproductive System or Genital System
is a system of sex organs in an organism
that work together for sexual reproduction.

The Reproductive System
3. Sex Organs
● It is a collection of internal and external
organs - both in males and females that
work together.
● This system is classified as one of the
most important system in the entire body.
4. The Female Reproduction
System
● It includes the vagina, uterus (used to accept semen), and
the ovaries (produces the female’s ova).
● The vagina is attached to the uterus through the cervix, while
the fallopian tubes connect the uterus to the ovaries.
● According to hormonal changes, an egg or more is sent
down the fallopian tube during ovulation.
● When not fertilized, this is eliminated as a result of
menstruation.
5. The Male Reproduction
● It consists of two major parts: the testes (where sperm
is produced) and the penis.
● The penis and urethra both belong to the urinary and
reproductive system in males.
● The testes are carried into an external pouch called the
scrotum, where they normally remain slightly cooler
than body temperature to facilitate sperm reproduction.
