Reproductive Anatomy

1) Primary sex organs (gonads)• Produce sex cells (gametes)• Secrete sex hormones

2) Accessory Organs• Transport sex cells• Nourish sex cells

Accessory ducts – transport

Gonads = testes• Produce sperm• Secrete testosterone

• Epididymis

• Vas (ductus) deferens

• Urethra• Prostatic• Membranous • Penile

Male

Testes & epididymis are located within the scrotum

Accessory glands – secrete seminal fluids1.Seminal vesicles

2.Prostate gland

3. Bulbourethral gland – not shown

• Urethra• Prostatic – prostate

• Membranous -urogenital diaphragm

• Penile - penis

• Erectile tissue• Corpora cavernosa• Corpus spongiosum

• Glans penis

• Prepuce (foreskin)

• Penis

Female reproductive anatomy

Primary sex organs = ovaries

• Store and develop egg cells• Secrete sex hormones

Accessory structures• Uterine tubes• Uterus• Vagina• Vulva (external genitalia)• Mons pubis• Perineum• Mammary gland with areola + nipple
