MALE/FEMALE

REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
OBJECTIVE

Described the organs of the male and female

human reproductive system
INTRODUCTION
• The ability to reproduce is one of the properties distinguishing
living from non-living matter
• The more primitive the animal the simpler the process of
reproduction
• In mammals, including humans the process is one of sexual
reproduction in which the male and female organs differ
anatomically and physiologically, and the new individuals
develop from fusion of two different sex cells ( gametes)
• The male gametes are called SPERMATOZOA
• The female gametes are called OVA
GUIDING QUESTION

WHY DO WE NEED TO REPRODUCE ?

To ensure survival of the species
• To produce eggs and sperm cells
• To transport and sustain these cells
• To nurture the developing offspring
• To produce hormone
PRIMARY SEX ORGAN
MALE ANATOMY
The sperm is fusing with an egg to
produce an organism with a new
combination of genes
FUNCTIONS OF THE MALE
REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN
• Produce, maintain, support sperm and
semen.
• Discharge semen into female
reproductive tract during sexual
intercourse
• Produce and secrete more hormones that
maintain the male reproductive system
• Much of the male reproductive system in
external.
