Functions of the Repro System
1. Production of the gametes: o Sperm – male o Egg – Females 2. Fertilization – The reproductive system enhances fertilization of the oocyte by the sperm. The duct system in males nourishes sperm until they are mature and are deposited in the female reproductive tract by the penis. The female reproductive system receives the male’s sperm and transports them to the fertilization site. 3. Development and nourishment of a new individual. The female reproductive system nurtures the development of a new individual in the uterus until birth and provides nourishment (milk) after birth. 4. Production of reproductive hormones. Hormones produced by the reproductive system control its development and the development of the gender- specific body form. These hormones are also essential for the normal function of the reproductive system and for reproductive behavior. Biochemistry FIRST YEAR - FINAL TERM MR.
