Reproduction Flashcards
Fallopian tube/ Oviduct
Acts like a tunnel for the egg to go through.
Uterus
It’s where a fertilized egg implants during pregnancy and where your baby develops until birth (Womb)
Ovaries
They produce and store the eggs.
Cervix
Allows fluids to flow in and out of the Uterus.
Vagina
It provides a passageway for blood from the uterus to leave the body during a menstrual period and it provides a passageway for childbirth.
Sperm duct
The job of these ducts is to move sperm away from its storage place in the testicle
Testecles
The testes are responsible for making sperm and are also involved in producing a hormone called testosterone
Scrotum
The scrotum is responsible for protecting the testes.
Penis
The function of the penis is to deliver semen into the vagina during sexual intercourse.
Urethra
The urethra transports pee and semen out of your body. Semen contains sperm.
The Egg Cell
An egg cell is a female reproductive cell that fuses with sperm in the process of fertilisation. This cell develops into a baby.
The Sperm Cell
Its purpose is to fertilise an egg, pass on its genetic information and produce the next generation.
Implantation
When a fertilized cell attaches to the uterus wall.
Ovulation
Ovulation is the process in which a mature egg is released from the ovary
Fertilisation
When the sperm meets an ovum: this is the point in which pregnancy begins.
The Placenta
The only temporary organ, it is connected to the foetus by the umbilical chord. It lets substances pass between the two blood supplies.

Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma.
The features of a wind pollinated flower.
-No bright colors, special odors, or nectar.
-Most have no petals.
-Stamens and stigmas exposed to air currents.
