Includes organs that produce, store, and transport reproductive cells.<\/p>\n

\n

The body system that consists of all the organs concerned with reproduction.<\/p>\n

\n

The arrangement of organs and ducts in the bodies of men and women which produce spermatozoa or ova.<\/p>\n

\n

Organs and tissues involved in the production and maturation of gametes and in their union and subsequent development to produce offspring. In the male the reproductive system includes the testes, vas deferens, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, urethra, and penis. In the female it includes the ovaries. Fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. The reproductive system is under the control of numerous hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, the sex organs (ovaries and testes), and the adrenal glands.<\/p>\n

\n

The combination of organs and tissues associated with the process of reproduction. In males it includes the testes, vasa deferentia, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, urethra, and penis; in females it includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, womb (uterus), vagina, and vulva.<\/p>\n

\n

A collective term for all the organs involved in sexual reproduction. In the female these are the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina and vulva. In the male these are the testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, urethra and penis.<\/p>\n

\n

The gonads and their associated structures and ducts. In the female, this system includes the ovaries, uterine tubes (oviducts), uterus, vagina, and vulva. In the male, it includes the testes, efferent ducts, epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct, urethra and accessory glands (bulbourethral, prostate, seminal vesicles), and penis.<\/p>\n

\n

Body system that includes the ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus and vagina in the female and the testes, prostate gland, penis and urethra in the male. This system performs the function of producing offspring and passing on the genetic code from one generation to another.<\/p>\n

\n

In women, this system includes the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus (womb), the cervix and the vagina (birth canal). The reproductive system in men includes the prostate, the testes and the penis.<\/p>\n
