Unit I: Our Body Systems
The human body is made up of different systems that work together to
keep it alive. The body systems are made up of organs that function
together.
How do these organs work together?
All living things reproduce their own kind.
Humans reproduce sexually. What organs make up the human
reproductive system? Find out how these body systems keep you and the
rest of the race alive.

Lesson 1: The Human Reproductive System

Humans reproduce sexually. The human body has a special organs for
reproduction. The male and female reproductive organs differ in structure
and functions in the reproductive process.

Observe the illustrations below of the male and the female

reproductive systems. Describe the organs of each of the system.

The male reproductive organs

The female reproductive organs

The following chart will help you understand the structure and
functions of the male and the female reproductive organs.
Table 1.1 Male Reproductive Organs
Male Reproductive
Structure
Organs
Penis

Composed of spongy
tissues filled with blood
vessels. The end is
covered by a loose flap
of skin called the
foreskin which may be
removed
by circumcision

Function/s

Deposits sperm cell in

the vagina

Scrotum

Small suspended saclike structure which

contains the testicles
(testes)

Holds the testicles

Testicle/Testes

Long, tightly coiled tube

which lies behind each
testicle.

Produces the male sex

cells (sperm) and the
male sex hormone
called testosterone

Epididymis

Sperm duct or tube

Serves as storage for

sperms produced by the
testicles

Vas deferens

A group of small glands

around the urethra

Enables the developed

sperms from epididymis
to pass through

Prostate gland

Found at the upper

parts of the urethra

Produces prostate
secretion in the semen

Urethra

A tube which opens to

the outside
Table 1.2 Female Reproductive Organs

Enables sperm to leave

the penis

Female Reproductive
Organs

Structure

Function/s

Ovaries

Small, oval-shaped
organs at either side of
the uterus, just above
the pelvic bone

Produce the female cells

and hormones (estrogen
and progesterone)

Uterus (womb)

Found at the front of

the lower abdomen and
behind the urinary
bladder; made up of
powerful muscles

Nourishes the fertilized

egg

Cervix

Narrow outer end of the

uterus

Stretches open wide

enough for the baby to
pass through during
delivery

Vagina

A canal that leads from

the uterus to the
external opening of the
vulva

Enables sperm to enter

and menstrual fluid to
flow out

Vulva

Area around the

opening of the female
urinary and
reproductive systems;
consists of two folds of
tissue (labia)

Lubricates; produces
fluids that facilitates the
passage of sperms

Fallopian tubes

A pair of tubes
stretching from the
ovary to the uterus

Directs the egg from the

ovary to the uterus
