Human Reproduction

What is reproduction?
- Reproduction is the process of producing offspring. There are two types of reproduction; asexual and sexual reproduction.

The two types of reproduction:

Urethra - a tube inside the penis through which urine and semen pass out of the penis.

Bladder - flexible bag for storing urine.

Vas deferens - tubes that connect the epididymis to the urethra. Often called the 'sperm duct'.

Anus - opening through which faeces passes.

Prostate - a gland just below the bladder that produces a fluid that provides the sperm cells with nutrients.

Vagina - a tube that connects the cervix to the external opening called the vulva.

Uterus - organ in which the baby develops if an egg is fertilised.

Rectum - elastic sac that stores solid body waste before passing.

Vulva - the vulva is the external part of the female genitalia.
