1. Ovary - small, oval-shaped glands that are located on either side of the uterus.

The ovaries
produce eggs and hormones.
2. Fallopian Tube - narrow tubes that are attached to the upper part of the uterus and serve as
pathways for the ova (egg cells) to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. This is where fertilization
of an egg by a sperm occurs.
3. Uterus - a hollow, pear-shaped organ that is the home to a developing fetus
4. Vagina - a canal that joins the cervix (the lower part of uterus) to the outside of the body. It also
is known as the birth canal.
5. Cervix - acts as the door to the uterus which sperm can travel through to fertilize eggs. And also
prevents the preventing the ascent of pathogens from the vagina into the uterus
6. Labia Majora - enclose and protect the other external reproductive organs. 
7. and Minora - lie just inside the labia majora, and surround the openings to the vagina.
These skin folds protect the opening of the urethra and the vagina
8. Skene's Gland - secrete a substance to lubricate the external genitalia during coitus
9. Bartholin's Gland -  located next to the vaginal opening on each side and produce a fluid
(mucus) secretion that lubricates e external vulva during coitus
10. Clitoris – a rounded organ of erectile tissue that is the center of sexual arousal in females
11. Mons Pubis - pad of adipose tissue inserted over the symphysis pubis an is usually covered in
pubic hair. It functions as a source of cushioning during sexual intercourse
1. Scrotum - holds the testicles (also called testes), as well as many nerves and blood vessels. It protects your testes, as
well as providing a sort of climate control system. 
2. Testicle - oval organs that lie in the scrotum. The testicle/ testes are responsible for making testosterone, the primary
male sex hormone, and for producing sperm.
3. Epididymis - a long, coiled tube that rests at the back of each testicle. It carries and stores sperm cells that are created in
the testes and brings sperm to maturity.
4. Prostate Gland - Secretes a thin alkaline fluid which further protects sperm from being immobilized by the natural low pH
level of the urethra
5. Seminal Vesicle – secretes a sugar-rich fluid (fructose) that provides sperm with a source of energy and helps with the
sperms’ ability to move (motility).
6. Vas Deferens - a long, muscular tube that transports mature sperm to inguinal canal into the abdominal cavity and ends
into the seminal vesicles and ejaculatory ducts
7. Penis - the male organ for sexual intercourse. It also acts as a conduit for urine to leave the body
8. Glans Penis – the distal end of penis which functions in both urination and reproduction. It contains a high concentration
of nerve endings making it the most sensitive part of the penis
9. Ejaculatory Ducts - join the seminal vesicles with the urethra which delivers the sperm into the urethra
10. Bulbourethral Glands - Secrete an alkaline fluid that helps counteract the acid secretion of the urethra and Ensures safe
passage of spermatozoa
