The Parts and Functions of the Human Reproductive System

The human reproductive systems have something to do with the

differences and changes observed between males and females.

The Male Reproductive System

 The male reproductive system is made up of several organs which

include the testes, ducts, accessory glands, and penis. It is
specifically responsible for producing sperm
cells and hormones.
A sperm cell is needed to fertilize an egg
cell. Hormones are responsible for the
development of male characteristics.

A male can produce numerous sperm SPERM CELLS

cells. An average man can have Illustrator: Lordan C. Estose
approximately 5, 000,000 in a single drop of
his semen. Out of these millions of sperm cells, only one is needed
to fertilize an egg cell. A Sperm has a head, middle part and a tail.

The Female Reproductive System

 The female reproductive system is made of several organs

which include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and
vagina. It is specifically responsible for producing egg
cells and supporting a developing baby inside a
mother’s womb.

 The egg cell is only one-tenth of a

millimeter, about the size of the diameter of
a hair strand. It is the biggest cell in the
female human body.

  Penis it is the external male organ with a tip called glans. It is
covered with foreskin that may be removed through
circumcision.
 Scrotum is a pair of pouch like sacs that contains the testes. It
also controls the testes’ temperature because they must be
slightly cooler than the body to produce sperm cells.

 Testes (singular, testis) are the glands that produce the sperm
cells and the male sex hormone called testosterone.

 Epididymis is a narrow, coiled tube that stores sperm cells.

 Urethra in males is the passageway of both urine from the

urinary bladder and semen from the glands.

 Seminal Vesicles are saclike pouches attached to the vas

deferens. It contributes to the semen production, a sugar-
rich fluid which provides energy for the sperm cells’
motility.
 Vas Deferens is a long, muscular tube that serves as the
passageway of the sperm cells released from the testes. It
also connects the testes to the seminal vesicle and the urethra.

 Cowper’s Gland also called as bulbourethral gland, is one of

the two pea sized organs found beneath the prostate
gland. It is responsible for releasing fluid that flushes out foreign
matters and neutralizes the acidic urine in the urethra.

 Prostate gland is a gland located between the bladder and the

penis. It produces fluid that nourishes and protects the
sperm.

Parts of Female Reproductive system and their functions

 Ovary produces egg cells as well as the female sex hormones
estrogen and progesterone. Female humans have two
ovaries. About 70, 000 potential egg cells are already
present in the ovaries of a female when she is born. However,
only about 500 of these eggs will mature.
The mature eggs are released one by one every month
once the female reaches puberty and until she is about 43 –
55 years old. The mature egg cell leaves the ovary through the
fallopian tube.
 Fallopian tubes lead the egg from the ovary to the uterus. This
is also the usual site of fertilization of the egg cell and

 sperm cell. Female humans have two fallopian tubes, each
connecting to an ovary to the side of the uterus.
 Uterus is also called the womb, it is a hollow muscular organ
located at the lower abdomen. It has a soft, smooth inner lining
called the uterine or endometrium.
This lining becomes thicker as it accumulates blood and
nutrients to accommodate the unborn baby as it develops. It
is also the site where the fertilized egg is implanted. If the
egg cell is unfertilized, together with the uterine lining, it will
break down and is discharged during menstruation.
 Cervix is located at the lower part of the uterus. It is a narrow
opening between the uterus and the vagina. During childbirth,
it expands to allow the passage of the baby.
 Vagina also called the birth canal, the vagina is a hollow,
muscular tube that extends from the cervix to the vaginal
opening called vulva. It expands to let the baby pass during
normal delivery.
