Learning Outcome

By the end of the lesson, you will understand the organ and functions of the reproductive system​

Ovaries

They produce oocytes (eggs) for fertilisation and they produce the reproductive hormones, oestrogen and progesterone.

Fallopian Tubes

Fallopian tube, also called oviduct or uterine tube, either of a pair of long narrow ducts located in the human female abdominal cavity that transport male sperm cells to the egg, provide a suitable environment for fertilization, and transport the egg from the ovary, where it is produced, to the central channel (lumen) of the uterus.​

Uterus

The uterus is a hollow muscular organ located in the female pelvis between the bladder and rectum. The ovaries produce the eggs that travel through the fallopian tubes. Once the egg has left the ovary it can be fertilized and implant itself in the lining of the uterus

Multiple Choice

The cervix is?

• Connects the vagina and the uterus

• Connects the uterus and fallopian tubes

• Is a gateway for the eggs

Cervix

The cervix is the lower portion of the uterus, an organ of the female reproductive tract. It connects the vagina with the main body of the uterus, acting as a gateway between them​

Vagina

provides a passageway for blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus during a woman's monthly period. receives the penis during sexual intercourse and holds the sperm until they pass into the uterus. provides a passageway for childbirth​

Multiple Choice

The female hormone is called

• Testosterone

• Oestrogen

Vas deferens

carrying-away vessel" these ducts transport sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts in anticipation of ejaculation. It is a partially coiled tube which exits the abdominal cavity through the inguinal canal.​

Semi Vesicles

are a pair of glands found in the male pelvis, which function to produce many of the constituent ingredients of semen.

Prostate Gland

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis. The prostate is just in front of the rectum. The urethra runs through the center of the prostate, from the bladder to the penis, letting urine flow out of the body. The prostate secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm.​

Scrotum

a thin external sac of skin that is divided into two compartments; each compartment contains one of the two testes, the glands that produce sperm, and one of the epididymides, where the sperm is stored.​

Testes

The testes — also called testicles — are two oval-shaped organs in the male reproductive system. They're contained in a sac of skin called the scrotum. ... The testes also produce a hormone called testosterone. This hormone is responsible for sex drive, fertility, and the development of muscle and bone mass​

Penis

An external male reproductive organ. It contains a tube called the urethra, which carries semen and urine to the outside of the body.​
