The Human
Reproductive
System
It is a set of organs and structures
that work together to ensure the
survival of the species by producing
offspring.
 The Human Reproductive System
IT HAS FOUR SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS:

To produce To store and To nurture offspring To produce

gametes (egg and transport these as it develops hormones
sperm cells) reproductive cells
 Male Reproductive Organs

Sperm duct Prostate

Carries sperm from the testes Produces a fluid that
to the urethra during mixes with sperm to form
ejaculation semen, nourishing and
protecting sperm
Testes
Produces sperm and Urethra
testosterone—male sex
hormones that affect the Passageway for both urine
way bodies develop and semen when exiting
the body
Penis Scrotum
Used for both the elimination of urine A sac of skin , divided into two
from the body and the delivery of section, each holding a testis tor
sperm for sexual reproduction regulate testicular temperature
 Female Reproductive Organs

Oviduct Ovary
(Fallopian Tube) Produces eggs (ova) and
Passageway for eggs from female sex hormones like
the ovaries to the uterus estrogen and progesterone
and provides the site for
fertilisation by the sperm

Uterus Vagina
Where a fertilized egg Receives the penis during
implants and grows into a sexual reproduction, allows the
fetus during pregnancy menstrual blood to exit the
Cervix body, and lets the baby passes
through during childbirth
Allows menstrual blood to flow from
the uterus and serves as a pathway
for sperm to enter the uterus
Let’s Review! Question 1

What is the name and function of the organ shown?‌

Urethra - it servers as the passageway for both urine and semen

Testes - responsible for producing sperm and testosterone

Vas deferens - responsible for carrying sperm from the testes

Prostrate - it produces a fluid that mixes with sperm to form semen

 Sexual Hormones

-Testosterone -Oestrogen
A male sex hormone produced A female sex hormone
mainly in the testes. It is produced mainly in the
responsible for sperm ovaries. It regulates the
production and develops the menstrual cycle, stimulates the
