The Reproductive System
The Reproductive System What is it?
The reproductive system is a collection of organs that work together for the purpose of producing a new life The major organs of the reproductive system include the external genitalia and internal organs, including gonads that produce gamete, which is a cell that fuses with another cell during conception in organisms that reproduce sexually. Substances such as fluids, hormones, and pheromones are also important to the effective functioning of the reproductive system
What it consists of
The male reproductive system consists of two major parts: the testes, where sperm are produced, and the penis. The male reproductive organs are the penis, the testicles, the epididymis, the vas deferens and the prostate gland. Having the testes outside the abdomen facilitates temperature regulation of the sperm, which require specific temperatures to survive. If the testicles remain too close to the body, the higher temperature will likely harm the spermatozoa, making conception more difficult or impossible. The two major parts of the female reproductive system are the vagina and uterus — which act as the receptacle for semen — and the ovaries, which produce the female's ova
The female reproductive organs are the vagina, womb (uterus), fallopian tubes and ovaries
The Nervous System
What is it
The nervous system is the body’s main control system. It is made up of the Central Nervous System (or CNS) and a network of nerves that extend from the CNS to all parts of the body. The nervous system regulates both voluntary activities, such as walking and talking, and involuntary activities, such as breathing, which you make no conscious decisions about. The CNS has two main tasks. It has to process information, both about the outside world (obtained by organs such as the eyes) and about the inside of the body (obtained by internal receptors). It also has to generate responses such as movement that will
