Q

male/female reproductive system

A

female:
*produces female sex cells (oocytes) & female hormones (e.g., estrogen and progesterone)

  • receives sperm from male
  • site of fertilization of oocyte
  • site of growth & development of embryo and fetus
  • produces/secretes breast milk for nourishment of newborn

male:
*produces male sex cells (sperm) and male hormones (e.g., testosterone)

*transfers sperm to the female

21
Q

A

male: ductus deferens, prostate gland, urethra, testis, scrotum, seminal vesicle, epididymis, penis
