The sperm duct and glands:The sperm passes through the
sperm ducts,and mix witth fluids produced by the
glands,these fluids provide the cell with nutrients,These
nutrients are called semen.
Penis and urethra:The penis passes the urine out of the body and it also passes semen to the woman's
vagina during a sexual intercourse.the urethra is the tube inside the penis that carry's urine and semen.
The female reproductive system
Ovaries: contains egg cells
Egg tube :each ovary is connected to the uterus by an egg tube (oviduct)
Uterus:It is a muscular bag with a soft linning.It is also where the baby develops until birth
Cervix:a ring of muscle at the lower end of the uterus.It's job is to keep the baby in place while the woman is pregnant
The Vagina:is a muscular tube that leads from the cervix to the outside of the women's body
Fertilization and foetal development
fertilization happens when a sperm cell and an egg cell meet
and join together
Sperm cells travel in the semen through the penis and into the top of
the Vagina. They enter the uterus through the cervix and travel to the
egg tubes.
The fertilized egg divides to form a group of
cells called an embryo.
This attaches to the linning of the Uterus and
begins to form a foetus and finally a baby
a foetus is protected by the Uterus and the amniotic
fluid,a liquid contained in a bag called amnion
The placenta is responsible for providing
oxygen and nutrients and also removing
waste
It grows into the wall of the uterus and is joined to the
foetus by the umbilical cord
After nine months the baby is ready to be
born,The cervix relaxes and muscles in the wall of
the uterus contract pushing the baby out
