5.1.1 Reproductive Anatomy Definitions:

Vagina: A muscular canal that connects the external genitals to the cervix.

Cervix: The lower, narrow portion of the uterus that connects to the vagina.

Uterus: The hollow, pear-shaped organ where fetal development occurs during pregnancy.

Clitoris: A highly sensitive organ located near the opening of the vagina, involved in sexual arousal.

Ovaries: Two almond-shaped organs in the female reproductive system that produce eggs and hormones, located on either side of the uterus.

Fallopian Tubes: Tubular structures that transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus and serve as the site of fertilization.

Testes: Male reproductive organs responsible for producing sperm and testosterone.

Prostate Gland: A gland in males that produces seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm.

Seminal Vesicles: Glands that secrete fluid that mixes with sperm to form semen.

Ejaculatory Duct: Ducts that carry semen from the seminal vesicles to the urethra during ejaculation.

Hormones: Estrogen and testosterone are regulated by a combination of hormones, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), released by the pituitary gland and gonads.

A medical illustration showing cross-sectional anatomical diagrams of the male and female reproductive systems. The left side of the image depicts the male reproductive system, including the bladder, prostate, urethra, penis, and testicles. The right side of the image illustrates the female reproductive system, showing the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and surrounding organs such as the bladder and rectum. The diagrams use different shades to distinguish internal structures and provide a simplified anatomical representation.
