Human Reproduction

What is Human Reproduction?
Human Reproduction is a form of sexual reproduction that is resulting in human fertilisation. It's involved sexual interaction between woman and man.

What is the two main types of reproduction:
- Asexual reproduction where only one parent produces clones of themselves.
- Sexual reproduction where two-parent produce offspring which are genetically different from themselves. 

Human reproduces sexually and males and females have different reproduction organs. Each organ has a different function.

Male Reproductive System



  1. Testes- Glands in the scrotum that reproduce sperm and the hormone testosterone.
  2. Urethra- A tube inside the penis through which urine and semen pass out of the penis.
  3. Epididymis- Tube at the back of the testes that store sperm.
  4. Bladder- Flexible bag for storing urine.
  5. Vas deference- Tubes that connect the epididymis to the urethra. Its often called the "sperm duct".
  6. Anus- Opening through which faeces passes.
  7. Prostate- A gland just below the bladder that reproduces a fluid that provides the sperm cells with nutrients.
  8. Rectum- Elastic sac that stores solid body waste before being passed as faeces.
  9. Penis- The external sex organ of a male. A hood skin (foreskin) covers the head (glans).
  10. Scrotum- A san that holds the testes.

Female Reproductive System


  1. Ovary- One of two organs either side of the uterus. They contain the eggs.
  2. Fallopian Tube- One of two tubes that connect an ovary to the uterus.
  3. Bladder- Urine is stored here before passing out the urethra.
  4. Vagina- A tube that connects the cervix to the external opening called the vulva.
  5. Uterus- Organ in which the baby develops if an egg is fertilised.
  6. Rectum- Elastic sac that stores solid body waste before being passed as faeces
  7. Vulva- The vulva is the external part of the female genitalia.
  8. Urethra- Tube through which urine flows through after exiting the bladder.
  9. Anus- Opening through which faeces pass.
  10. Cervix- Junction between the uterus and vaginal tube.
Fertilisation
What is fertilisation? 
It's a process of interaction of male sex cell and female sex cells. Fertilisation happens when an egg cell meets with a sperm cell and joins with it.  

Question:
How long do you think fertilisation does it take before the baby is born?
Why do you think menstruation happens for girls every month?
