INTRODUCTION
This is defined as sexual reproduction, which helps result in human fertilization. These all
typically help in the involvement of sexual intercourse, which is lies between man and woman.
As per this, sexual intercourse occurs when the interaction between male and female
reproductive systems results and creates a factor of fertilization by woman ovum and male
sperm. In this report, a question is mentioned based on the human reproductive organ and its
function.
MAIN BODY
The structure of the male and female reproductive systems, relating structure to function
Functions of the male reproductive system
1. Testis: The testes are responsible for making testosterone. As per this, they are called
primary sex male hormones, and they help in producing sperm. In this, the testes are
coiled and create masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules. As per this, the overall
function of this, they used to develop in the responsible for producing of the sperm cell
and this all process is regulated by testes.
2. Epididymis: This is also a section part of the reproductive part. This usually helps to
transport the function that is essential in the transport of sperm from the rete testes
associated with the vas deferens. This acts as the transport channel used to move sperm
from one place to another (Boudou and et al., 2020).
3. Vas deferens: The vas deferens are a functional part of the reproductive part, a long and
muscular tube that travels from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity. The vas deference
location is associated with the bladder because they are just behind the bladder. The vas
deferens are used to transport the mature sperm to the part of the urethra in preparations
for ejaculation.
4. Scrotum: This is also a part of males' reproductive body with a structure like a bag and
skin hold and helps provide the protection testicles. In this, the testicle is used to prepare
sperm and provide the proper temperature that is helpful for the body.
5. Prostate gland: Help produce fluid that is together with a sperm cell from the testes.
6. Seminal Vesicles: Used to provide many constituent ingredients of semen.

Functions of the female reproductive system
7. Ovary: Produce the egg cell, which is called ova or oocytes.
8. Fallopian tubes: This usually helps to transport the ova from the ovary to the uterus every
month.
9. Uterus: The primary function of this is to nourish and house a fertilization egg until the
fetus or offspring is ready to deliver.
10. Cervix: This is used to facilitate the passage of sperm into the urine cavity.
11. Vagina: The primary function which is accessible is used to provide the pathway for
blood and mucous tissue from the uterus during a woman's monthly period (Buser and et
al., 2018).
