External genitalia
Vagina
Uterus
Uterine Tubes
Ovaries
A

Ext. Genitalia-provide protection and hydration of vaginal tissue and urethra

Vagina-receptacle for sperm, birth canal, excretory duct for menstrual fluid

Uterus-houses the fetus during development

Uterine Tubes-provides transport for the ovum from the ovary for fertilization and implantation within the uterus

Ovaries- produce hormones such as estrogen and progesterone and storage of oocytes prior to ovulation

Q

What is the role of each structure of the male genital system?

Penis
Scrotum
Testes
Ductus/vas deferens
Epididymis
Seminal Vesicles
Prostate
A

Penis-external genitalia that expels urine and semen

Scrotum-sac for testes, ductus deferens, epididymis, nerves, and blood vessels

Testes-produce sperm and hormones such as testosterone

Vas Deferens-carries sperm from the testes to the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct

Epididymis-stores sperm

Seminal Vesicles-internal tubes that secrete fluid that mixes with sperm in ejaculatory duct

Prostate- produces and secretes fluid to combine with sperm, seminal vesicle fluid, and bulbourethral gland to create sperm
