MT30 – G – ('23-'24) 1 year, 10 months ago Activity 8: The Reproductive SystemThe reproductive system is primarily involved in reproduction and producing offspring. It consists of internal and external organs. It creates hormones and is responsible for fertility, and sexual activity.
Cervix – it is the lowest part of the uterus. A hole in the center allows the sperm to enter during intercourse and allows blood to leave the body during menstruation. During childbirth, the cervix also opens to allow the baby to come out
Umbilical cord – during pregnancy, it connects the baby to the placenta. It contains two arteries and one vein. It allows oxygen and nutrient-rich blood from the mother to flow to the baby.
Vas deferens – the long muscular tube that transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation
Epididymis – a long, coiled tube located at the back of each testicle that carries and stores the sperm cells created by the testicles. It is responsible for the maturation of the sperm.
