	reproductive system - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		In humans and other mammals the female reproductive system produces the female reproductive cells (the eggs, or ova) and contains an organ in which development of the fetus takes place; the male reproductive system produces the male reproductive cells, the sperm, and contains an organ that deposits the sperm within the female.
		In the human female reproductive system, ova are produced in the ovaries, two small organs set in the pelvic cavity below and to either side of the navel.
		In the male reproductive system sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes, two organs contained in the scrotum, an external sac in the groin.

	Female Reproductive System
		The female needs a male to fertilize her egg, even though it is she who carries offspring through pregnancy and childbirth.
		Humans, like other organisms, pass certain characteristics of themselves to the next generation through their genes, the special carriers of human traits.
		A female's internal reproductive organs are the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

	The FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		The female body carries the newly created human being for about nine months until he or she are ready to be exposed to the outside world, and function independently.
		The female reproductive system is comprised of parts that nurture the evolving tissue into a person (pregnency), and the parts which allow for conception -- the combination of a female cell and a male cell to a fertilized egg, which is then to be nurtured towards full term of birth of a new human being.
		The closing down of the female reproductive system is linked with general body downgrade (menopause), for which today there is an effective array of treatment.

	Reproductive System, Female Information on Healthline
		The female reproductive system is composed of organs that produce female eggs (called female gametes or ova); provide an environment for fertilization of the egg by a male sperm (male gamete); and support the development and expulsion of a fetus in pregnancy and childbirth.
		The perineum is the area between the vagina and the anus in the female (in the male, the perineum is the area between the scrotum and the anus).
		A female human being will not produce any new developing eggs (oocytes) after she is born; although she is born with approximately two million eggs, only about 300,000 to 400,000 remain at onset of puberty, and only about 300 of these will develop fully and enter a fallopian tube for possible fertilization.

	Reproductive System
		The female reproductive system consists of the fallopian tube, ovum,ovary, uterus, cervix and vagina.
		The male reproductive system consists of the urethra, prostrate gland, testicles, scrotum, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, and penis.
		It is the main vehicle used to transport semen from the male into the vagina of the female for reproductive purposes.

	Reproductive System
		In internal fertilization, the eggs are fertilized within the reproductive tract of the female, and then are covered with eggshells and/or remain within the body of the female during their development.
		Normally, in humans, after the onset of puberty, due to the stimulation of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) one egg”; per cycle matures and is released from its ovary.

	Reproductive System Information
		Sexual reproduction is the process of producing offspring for the survival of the species, and passing on hereditary traits from one generation to the next.
		The male and female gonads (testes and ovaries) produce sex cells (ova and sperm) and the hormones necessary for the proper development, maintenance, and functioning of the organs of reproduction and other organs and tissues.
		The system structures are the ovary, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, vulva, and mammary glands.

	Female Reproductive System
		In the human reproductive process, two kinds of sex cells, or gametes (pronounced: gah-meetz), are involved.
		These genes come from the father's sperm and the mother's egg, which are produced by the male and female reproductive systems.
		Unlike the male, the human female has a reproductive system located entirely in the pelvis (that's the lowest part of the abdomen).

		However, in the case of the reproduction process, two different systems are required, of different sexes, male and female.
		In addition, both the male and the female reproductive systems do not perform their function continuously from birth onwards in the same way as, for instance, the respiratory system and the digestive system!
		years), the female reproductive system normally goes through a series of regular changes which are called the menstruan cycle, because it is repeated month after month.

	The History of the Female Reproductive System
		Female genital organs were often explained as "lesser" male organs due to differences in size, complexion and orientation.
		Thus the male 'sperm' is equivalent to the clotting agent of milk, and the female 'sperm' is equivalent to that of milk.
		By contrast, the male reproductive organs were described in far less detail, undoubtedly because there was little considered to be peculiar about them.

		Animals are made of complex systems of cells, which must be able to perform all of lifeâs processes and work in a coordinated fashion to maintain a stable internal environment.
		The reproductive system generates reproductive cells (gametes) and provides a mechanism for them to be fertilized and maintained until the developing embryo can survive outside the body.
		The primary reproductive organs are the ovaries (female) and the testes (male).

	The Female Reproductive System
		The female gonads or sexual glands are the ovaries; they are the source of ova and of the female sex hormones estrogens and progestogens.
		The female external genitalia include the structures placed about the entrance to the vagina and external to the hymen, the membrane across the entrance to the vagina.
		In front, an upper portion of each labium minus passes over the clitoris—the structure, in the female, corresponding to the penis (excluding the urethra) in the male—to form a fold, the prepuce of the clitoris, and a lower portion passes beneath the clitoris to form its frenulum.
