The Reproductive System


The main organs of the male reproductive system are the testes and the scrotum.
The testes are the primary sex organs because they produce sperm and male sex hormones.
The sex hormones are called androgens. Sperm produced by the testes are stored within the epididymis.
They then enter a vas deferens, which transports them to an ejaculatory duct.
The ejaculatory duct enters the urethra.
The urethra passes through the penis and transports sperm to outside the body.

Maintenance
The primary female sex organs are paired ovaries that lie in shallow depressions,
one on each side of the upper pelvic cavity. The ovaries are the primary organs
because they produce eggs and the female sex organs, estrogen and progesterone.
The egg leaves the ovaries and travels through the fallopian tubes and usually ends
up being washed out of the uterus by blood due to non-fertilization.
