Remember
The male and female reproductive systems are the primary sexual characteristic.
They are formed by the genitals, which are the organs that carry out reproduction.
The female sex organs include the ovaries and uterus.
The male sex organs include the testicles and the penis.
The ovaries produce female sex cells called ovules.
The testicles produce male sex cells called spermatozoa or sperm cells.
Fertilisation occurs in the Fallopian tubes. Fertilisation is the union of an ovule and a sperm to
form a zygote. The zygote is the first cell of a new being. It divides many times to form an embryo.
Pregnancy is the period between fertilisation and the birth of the baby.
Birth is the moment when the baby exits the mother’s body through the vagina.
