The human reproductive system includes the male reproductive system which functions to produce and deposit sperm; and the female reproductive system which functions to produce egg cells, and to protect and nourish the fetus until birth.

Comparing Male and Female Reproductive Systems
They are the same in that most of the reproductive organs of both sexes develop from similar embryonic tissue, meaning they are homologous. Both systems have gonads that produce (sperm and egg or ovum) and sex organs.
Which reproductive hormones are produced in both males and females?
During puberty in both males and females, the hypothalamus produces gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the production and release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland.
Do both male and female reproductive systems produce hormones?
The human male and female reproductive cycles are controlled by the interaction of hormones from the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary with hormones from reproductive tissues and organs. In both sexes, the hypothalamus monitors and causes the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.
What are the major differences and similarities between the male and female reproductive systems?
The main difference between male and female reproductive system is that male reproductive system produces and delivers sperms to the female reproductive system whereas female reproductive system facilitates fertilization and develops the baby.
What structures do both males and females have?
Both male and female reproductive systems have organs called gonads ( testes in males, ovaries in females) that produce gametes ( sperm or ova) and sex hormones (such as testosterone in males and estrogen in females).
What term is used to describe a person with both male and female reproductive tissues?
hermaphroditism, the condition of having both male and female reproductive organs.
What stimulates androgen synthesis in both males and females?
Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are called gonadotropins because stimulate the gonads - in males, the testes, and in females, the ovaries.
What are major hormones of male and female reproductive system?
The male and female reproductive system is regulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus.
What are male and female hormones produced in the gonads and their functions?
Endocrine system: gonads and their hormones: The gonads are the sex organs. Male testes produce androgens, while female ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone. The ovaries produce hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, which cause secondary sex characteristics and prepare the body for childbirth.
What are the structures of the male and female reproductive systems and what are the functions of each?
The testes in the scrotum produce the male gamete, sperm, which is ejaculated in seminal fluid by the penis. The female reproductive system primarily consists of internal organs. The female gamete, ovum, is produced in the ovaries and is released monthly to travel to the uterus via the Fallopian tubes.
What part of the female reproductive system produces estrogen?
The ovaries (OH-vuh-reez) are also part of the endocrine system because they produce female sex hormones such as estrogen (ESS-truh-jun) and progesterone (pro-JESS-tuh-rone).
Why do you think you need to learn about both male and female reproductive system?
The male reproductive system and the female reproductive system both are needed for reproduction. Humans, like other organisms, pass some characteristics of themselves to the next generation. We do this through our genes, the special carriers of human traits.
What structures of the male and female reproductive systems share a common embryonic origin?
Structures such as testes and ovaries that arise from the same undifferentiated embryonic tissues in males and females are called homologous structures. Male and female reproductive systems are different at birth, but at that point, they are immature and nonfunctioning.
What 2 female structures are homologous to 2 male structures and why?
Tissues that produce a penis in males produce a clitoris in females. The tissue that will become the scrotum in a male becomes the labia in a female; that is, they are homologous structures.
What are the essential and accessory organs of the male and female reproductive system?
The reproductive system includes the primary organs necessary for reproduction - ovaries and the testes, but there are accessory organs as well. For the female, there is the uterus, oviduct, breasts, and vagina. The male has the penis and scrotum for accessory organs.
