BIOLOGY Chapter Notes -Vas Deferens, Fallopian Tube, Human Reproduction
Document Summary
Human reproduction is the biological process by which offspring are produced. It involves the production of gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females) and the fertilization of the egg by the sperm. This leads to the formation of a zygote, which then undergoes several cell divisions and eventually develops into a fetus. In females, the reproductive system consists of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina. The ovaries contain eggs, and each month one egg is released in a process called ovulation. The egg travels down the fallopian tube, where it can be fertilized by a sperm. If the egg is not fertilized, it is expelled from the body during the menstrual cycle. In males, the reproductive system consists of the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, and penis. The testes produce sperm, which are then stored in the epididymis.
