One day Sandy Egg and Danny Sperm met at the uterus, a popular hangout for sperm and eggs. While chatting about their journey, they found each other's story quite exciting in respect to the organs and process involved in reaching the same hotspot.
Sandy begins her story by naming the female external sex organs, which delivers protection to the vaginal opening as well as sexual stimulation and excitement. These involved the vulva, the Mons Veneris, the Labia Majora, the Labia Minora, the Vestibule, the Urethral and Vaginal openings, and the Perineum (Rathus, Nevid, & Fichner-Rathus, 2005).
She also shared with Danny that a female is born with about two million young egg cells in which about 400,000 may survive into puberty in a thin capsule, but only about 400 will ripen from puberty to menopause, releasing one per month for possible fertilization." Danny answered, "Wow, like the female the male testicles can produce about 1,000 sperm a second or about 30 billion a year, with 10 to 20 ejaculations holding enough sperm to populate the Earth" (Rathus, Nevid, & Fichner-Rathus, 2005). She continued by explaining, "The vagina is a path where a penis lays during sexual intercourse as well as a passageway from the uterus for menstrual flow and babies during delivery.
The penis contains three cylinders that fill up with blood causing it to swell and stiffen, which is also known as an erection, during sexual arousal or excitement" (Rathus, Nevid, & Fichner-Rathus, 2005).
Sandy responded, “That’s amazing, the cervix lies amongst the vagina and the lower end of the uterus. The cervix produces secretion that adds to the vagina's chemical balance. It has a small opening about the size of a straw that swells allowing sperm to pass through from the vagina to the uterus as well as allowing a baby to move from the uterus to the vagina during child birth" (Rathus, Nevid, & Fichner-Rathus, 2005).
