Gametogenesis is the process of producing gametes, or sex cells,
from germ cells in an organism.

Insemination is the process of introducing sperm into a female


reproductive system to fertilize an egg.

Fertilization is the process where two gametes fuse to create a


zygote, which then develops into a new organism.
Parthenogenesis is the process of
asexual reproduction that involves Implantation is the process by which a fertilized egg attaches to the

The male reproductive system consists of:
Testicles (testes): A pair of oval-shaped organs masked in a pouch called
the scrotum. They are responsible for the production of sperms and the
male hormone testosterone.

Scrotum: It is a sac-like organ that hangs below the penis and behind it. It is
the houses of the testicles, or testes, and maintains a temperature that is
required for the production of sperm by it.

Vas deferens: The sperms produced in testes are stored in a tube called the
epididymis. Here the sperms get matured and pass to urethra through the
muscular tube called vas deferens.

Accessory glands: This includes three glands, namely seminal vesicles,


prostate gland, and Cowper’s gland. The secretions from the three glands
mix to form a fluid called semen. Semen nourishes the sperm, increases
the volume and helps in lubrication.

Penis: Penis is a cylindrical tube which serves as both reproductive organ


and an excretory organ. It delivers sperms into the vagina during sexual
intercourse.
The female reproductive system consists of the
following parts:

A pair of ovaries: Ovaries produce and store ovum in them. They also produce
a female hormone called estrogen. Once the egg is released from the ovary,
the long finger-like projections on the top of the ovary called fimbriae receive
the egg and transport it to the fallopian tube.

Fallopian tubes (Oviducts): They are the site of fertilization. They connect
ovaries with the uterus.

Uterus: Uterus is the site of development for the embryo. The endometrium is
the tissue that lines the uterus, or womb.

Cervix: It is a muscular, tunnel-like organ. It's the lower part of the uterus, and
it connects the uterus and vagina.

Vagina: It is the part which connects the cervix to the external female body
part.
