Reproduction In Humans
Introduction Like all the organisms, humans also reproduce. They reproduce through sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is the formation of a new individual following the union of two gametes Reproduction in human takes place as an internal fertilisation by sexual intercourse.
Male Reproductive System The male reproductive system includes the scrotum, testes, spermatic ducts, sex glands, and penis. These organs work together to produce sperm, the male gamete, and the other components of semen.
Female Reproductive System The female reproductive system includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, vulva, mammary glands and breasts. These organs are involved in the production and transportation of gametes and the production of sex hormones.
Reproduction in Humans - Process Human reproduction takes place as internal fertilisation by sexual intercourse. During this process, the male inserts his penis, into the female's vagina, and then either partner initiates rhythmic pelvic thrusts until the male ejaculates semen, which contains sperm, into the vaginal canal.
The internal fertilization occurs in the end of the fallopian tube away from the uterus (close to the ovary). The egg and the associated cumulus cells are ovulated (released) from an ovarian follicle and picked up by the fallopian tube. The tube pulls it inside where the sperm can find it.
