- Testes - Penis - Accessory Ducts (epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts and urethra) - Accessory Glands (prostate glands, seminal vesicles and bulbourethral glands)

- Semen is alkaline that protects, nourishes and transports sperm during transportation - via peristalsis

- formation of the sex cells - involves having half the number of chromosomes in each cell - achieved by cell division called meiosis Female = oogenesis Male = spermatogenesis When the two gametes unite at fertilisation the full number of chromosomes is restored

Gametogenesis

formation of the sex cells - involves having half the number of chromosomes in each cell - achieved by cell division called meiosis
Female = oogenesis
Male = spermatogenesis
When the two gametes unite at fertilisation the full number of chromosomes is restored
