	reproductive system. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		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.
		Disorders that may affect the proper functioning of the reproductive system include abnormal hormone secretion, sexually transmitted diseases, and the presence of cancerous tissue in the region.

	The Reproductive System - Design, Workings, Ailments, Taking care
		The main functions of the female reproductive system are to produce ova, receive sperm from the male penis, house and provide nutrients to the developing embryo and fetus, give birth, and produce milk to feed offspring.
		The activities of both reproductive systems are controlled by hormones (chemicals produced by the body that affect various bodily processes) released from the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain behind the nose, and from the gonads in each system.
		The pills contain hormones that are released into a woman's system on a regular basis to prevent pregnancy, either by inhibiting ovulation, preventing implantation of a fertilized egg, or by thickening the secretions throughout a woman's reproductive system so that her partner's sperm has less of a chance to meet her egg.

	Reproductive System - ninemsn Encarta
		Reproductive System, term applied to the group of organs necessary for or accessory to the reproductive processes.
		The basic units of sexual reproduction are the male and female germ cells.
		In invertebrates, the primordial germ cells congregate in the body cavity or in a section of the circulatory system; in vertebrates, these cells are located in organs that adjoin the excretory system.

	Male Reproductive System
		Reproduction - the process by which organisms make more organisms like themselves - is one of the things that sets living things apart from nonliving things.
		Both the male and female reproductive systems are essential for reproduction.
		The urethra is also part of the urinary system because it is also the channel through which urine passes as it leaves the bladder and exits the body.

	Reproductive System - MSN Encarta
		Reproductive System, term applied to the group of plant or animal organs that are necessary for or that are accessory to the reproductive processes (see Reproduction).
		The basic units of sexual reproduction are the male and female germ cells; this article deals with the organs within which the germ cells of animals mature and are stored, the organs through which they are transported in the process of producing a new individual, and accessory glandular organs.
		In the process of developing into mature reproductive cells or gametes, the germ cells undergo a special type of cell division, known as meiosis, which halves the number of chromosomes they carry.

	Reproductive System/ Introduction to the Reproductive System
		The major function of the reproductive system is to ensure survival of the species.
		Other systems in the body, such as the endocrine and urinary systems, work continuously to maintain homeostasis for survival of the individual.
		These hormones function in the maturation of the reproductive system, the development of sexual characteristics, and have important roles in regulating the normal physiology of the reproductive system.

	Female Reproductive System
		Reproduction — the process by which organisms make more organisms like themselves — is one of the things that set living things apart from nonliving matter.
		A female's internal reproductive organs are the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
		If you think you have symptoms of a problem with your reproductive system or if you have questions about your growth and development, talk to your parent or doctor — many problems with the female reproductive system can be treated.

	the REPRODUCTIVe system
		Sexual reproduction offers the benefit of generating genetic variation among offspring, which enhances the chances of the population's survival.
		Reproductive system organs and kidneys form from mesoderm.
		Maternal and embryonic structures interlock to form the placenta, the nourishing boundary between the mother's and embryo's systems.

	Reproductive System - MSN Encarta
		External reproductive organs used by animals to facilitate internal fertilization are known as genitals or genitalia.
		Among the glands accessory to the reproductive process are those that provide a fluid medium in which the spermatozoa may live, those that produce mucus which reduces friction during copulation, those that emit alluring odors to members of the opposite sex, and those that secrete nourishment for the ova, the embryos, and the newborn young.
		Female egg-laying animals have albumen glands, which coat the zygote with nutrient albumen before the egg is laid, and nidamental glands, which surround the zygote and albumen with a leathery or calcareous shell.

	The Reproductive System
		In the reproductive process, the vagina functions as a two-way street, accepting the penis and sperm during intercourse and roughly nine months later, serving as the avenue of birth through which the new baby enters the world.
		During the course of an average reproductive lifespan, roughly 300 mature eggs are produced for potential conception.
		The egg cells remain inactive until puberty, when the reproductive system is activated by a cascade of substances called sex hormones.

	Reproductive System
		Animals’ reproductive systems can be divided into the internal reproductive organs and the external genitalia.
		Since sperm and eggs are designed to be in a watery environment, aquatic animals can make use of the water in which they live, but terrestrial animals must, in some way, provide the wet environment neeeded for the sperm to swim to the egg.
		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.

		Reproduction is one of the most important and fundamental properties of living organisms by which every kind of living organism multiplies to form new individuals of it’s own kind.

		The female reproductive system consists of the fallopian tube, ovum,ovary, uterus, cervix and vagina.
