Female Reproductive System
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.
