Vulva: The term for all of the female external genitalia. It surrounds the opening of the urethra.
Uterus: The hollow, pear shaped organ located above the bladder. It is the vessel for the fetus during pregnancy and helps it to develop.
Ovaries: Two small glands that are about the size of a grape. They are the primary sex organ and produce sex hormones and ovum.
Fallopian tube: A pair of tubes that go from the left and right upper corners of the uterus. It serves to transport ovum, sperm, and other things.
male
Penis: A muscular male sex organ. Its main function is for sexual intercourse with the vagina.
Testes: Circle or oval shaped organs. They are the primary male sex organ. They produce testosterone.
Vas Deferens: Long Mucular tube that goes from the epididymus to the pelvic cavity and then to the bladder. It functions to transport sperm ready for ejaculation.
Urethra: Small tube that travels through the penis. It functions to carry sperm and urine to the external of the body.
Ejaculatory Duct: This is formed by the fusion of the vas degrees and the seminal vesicles. It functions to empty into the urethra.
Epididymis: A long tube that is coiled and rests on the back of each testicle. They function to produce sperm cells.
Seminal vesicle: Pouches that attach to the vas degrees near the bottom of the bladder. It functions to produce fructose.
Prostate gland: A walnut shaped structure that is located right under the bladder in front of the rectum. It functions to add fluid to semen.
Bulbourethral glands: Peanut sized structures located on the sides of the the urethra. It functions to produce a clear slippy fluid that goes right into the urethra.
