The male parts
Vas Deferens:
Epididymis
Testes
Urethra
Vas Deferens:
During ejaculation, sperms cells are propelled out of the epididymis through the vas deferens, a duct that eventually merges with the urethra. The urethra is the tube that leads out of the body through the penis, which is responsible for releasing both urine and semen. The nutrients in the seminal fluid provide the sperm cells with energy, which helps them move up to the uterus once they have entered the female reproductive system.
Epidermis
The place sperm cells are moved after they are produced.
Testes
The main male reproductive organ. This is where the sperm cells are reproduced.
Uthera
The part in which, male sperms are released into the female.
Ovary
Fallopian tube:
Vagina
The ovaries are the female gonads where eggs, also called ova, are produced. They are found in the abdominal cavity just below most of the digestive tract. The ovaries contain many follicles, each made up of one egg cell surrounded by layers of follicle cells that nourish and protect the developing egg cells.
One of a pair of long, slender ducts that transport the ova (egg) from the ovary to the uterus and, in fertilization, transports the sperm from the uterus to the released ova.
The vagina is the opening to the female reproductive system. It is where sperm enters during sexual intercourse as well as the birth canal through which a baby is born.
placenta
The tube which connects the baby and mother
