Human reproductive system - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Narrow tubular structure connected at the end of each epididymis
        Function: Carry the sperms from the epididymis to the Urethra.
    - - From the end of the urinary bladder to the end of the penis.
        Function: Carries urine from the urinary bladder and sperm from Vas deference to outside the body.
    - - Location: Lies against each testicle in the scrotum, like a cap
        Structure: Highly coiled structure, enclosed in a fibrous covering
        Function: Sperms mature in the epididymis and move to
        the sperm duct
  - - - Location and structure: Pair of sac-like glands that opens into the sperm ducts before it joins the urethra.
        Produce: Secrete the seminal fluid that provides nourishment to sperm to remain motile
    - - Small walnut-size gland located below the Urinary Bladder at the base of the urethra.
        Function: secretes alkaline fluid to nourish, protect the sperm and help them to swim
    - - Location: External organ of a male reproductive system at the lower end of the abdomen
        Function: Transfers the semen to the female reproductive system
    - - Location: Small pea sized glands that occur in pairs next to the prostate gland on either side of the urethra
        Function: white viscous alkaline secretion that acts as a lubricant for the penis.
  - - - Location: Sac-like structure in the scrotum. Just outside the abdominal cavity
        (slightly lower temperature than the body, necessary for the production of sperms)
        Function: Testes produce male gametes –sperm inside
        Seminiferous tubulesSertoli cells- Nourish and maintain the shape of the sperms
- - - - Two oviducts extend from each ovary to the uterus
        Function: To capture the ovum released by the ovary Site for fertilisation Pushes the egg /zygote towards the uterus
        Vagina: Short narrow muscular tube that connects the uterus to the outside function- Passage for entry of the sperms, forms the birth canal
  - - - Hollow pear-shaped organ Present in between the urinary bladder and rectum
        Function: it supports and facilitates the development of the embryo
  - - - Small, Oval shaped
        Location: Inside the abdominal cavity, on each side of the Uterus Function: Ovulation
        Release of mature ovum
        Secretion of- Oestrogen, Progesterone
