PMA08-1 Anatomy & Physiology: Reproductive System

Rotate the 3D model to see how the cervical canal connects the uterus and vagina.

The female reproductive system includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, vulva, mammary glands and breasts. These organs are involved in the production and transportation of gametes and the production of sex hormones. The female reproductive system also facilitates the fertilization of ova by sperm and supports the development of offspring during pregnancy and infancy.

The male reproductive system includes the scrotum, testes, spermatic ducts, sex glands, and penis. These organs work together to produce sperm, the male gamete, and the other components of semen. These reproductive organs also work together to deliver semen out of the body and into the vagina where it can fertilize egg cells to produce offspring.

The testes, the primary reproductive organs in males, generate sperm cells and produce the hormone testosterone.
