Gametes: gonads ( spouses ) produce sex cell called gametes & secrete a variety of steroid hormones commonly called, sex hormones. Accessory reproductive organs: remaining reproductive structure ducts, glands, and external genitalia. Male"s role for reproduction is: manufacture male gametes called sperm, and deliver them to the female reproductive tract, where fertilization can occur. Female"s role of reproduction is: manufacture female gametes, called ova or eggs. After intercourse, a sperm & an egg fuse together to form a fertilized egg, called zygote. Zygote is the first cell of a new individual, which all body cells will arise. Female partner"s uterus provides the protective environment where the embryo develops until birth. Sex hormones androgens (males) & estrogens & progesterone (females) responsible in sex organ development and functioning and sexual behaviour and drivers.
