Points to Remember
Below we have provided some of the important points to remember to ace your exam:
Human beings reproduce sexually and are viviparous, and it becomes fully active during puberty.
For males, the reproductive system consists of a pair of testes, accessory glands, a duct system, and a penis.
For females, the reproductive system consists of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, uterine cervix, vagina, accessory genital glands, external genitalia, and mammary glands.
Spermatogenesis refers to the production of sperm in the testis, and oogenesis refers to the production of ova in the ovary.
Ovulation and ovarian hormone secretion are cyclic processes that occur during the menstrual cycle.
When sperms fertilize the ovum following sexual contact, they are transported to the junction between the isthmus and ampulla.
