Respiratory System

THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

The reproductive system is a set of organs that work together to produce offspring. Many non-living substances, such as fluids, hormones and pheromones, are important accessories to the reproductive system.

Female Reproductive System – Responsible for the production and transportation of female gametes and sex hormones. The female reproductive system also facilitates the fertilization of ova by sperm and supports the development of offspring during pregnancy and infancy. The ovaries are located on both sides of the uterus. The ovaries produce estrogen, progesterone and eggs. Estrogen and progesterone stimulate breast growth and are essential to female reproductive functions. 

Male Reproductive System – Responsible for production and transportation of male gametes and sex hormones.  The testes are located in the scrotum and secrete hormones known as androgens, chiefly testosterone. Androgens affect sexual development, facial hair, pubic hair and sperm production.

Associated Organs

Female – Ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, clitoris, vulva, labia and urethra 

Male – Testes, vas deferens, prostate, penis and urethra
