Anatomy
Upside down pear shape
Fertilized egg attaches here
Menstruation occurs here
Stretches to fit the size of fetus◦ Normal size = 3”-4”◦ Can expand up to
12”
Uterus
5 ½ “ long There are 2 Open ends are
fringed and curled Fimbria (fringe)—
fingerlike tubes that grasp egg and pull it into tube.
Fertilization takes place here.
Fallopian Tube
We have 2
Almond shaped—size of a brazil nut
Release the egg cell (ovulation)
Contains 1000’s of eggs
Ovary (ovaries)
As large as a pin head Largest human cell Born with all that we will have We have approx. 400,000, but only 500

Ova (egg)
Connects uterus and vagina

the sperm travels Birthing canal

from the uterus and vagina. It starts at menarche (1st menstrual cycle)

holds the liquid that mixes with sperm to form semen.
The fluids help the sperm swim towards the egg and keep the sperm nourished during the traveling process.
Found behind bladder.
Seminal Vesicle
two egg-shaped male reproductive organs
The primary functions of the testes are to produce sperm.
The testes are contained in the scrotum and are composed of dense connective tissue.
Testicle (testes)
It is located directly beneath the male bladder and in front of the rectum.
In an adult male, it is about the size and shape of a walnut
In the adult male, the glandular tissue of the prostate emits a fluid that contributes 20-30 percent of the total volume of the seminal fluid released when a man ejaculates. (nourishes & protects sperm)
Prostate Gland
The tube that leads from the bladder and transports and discharges urine outside the body.
In males, the urethra travels through the penis and carries semen as well as urine.
Urethra
part of the external male genitalia located behind and underneath the penis.
small muscular sac that contains and protects the testicles, blood vessels.
The scrotum protects the testicles from temperature changes: In order to insure normal sperm production, the scrotum keeps the testes at a temperature slightly cooler than the rest of the body by contracting or expanding.
