CONTENT OF THE LESSON  

INTRODUCTION

All animals reproduce their young ones sexually. This happens when a male and a female animal of the same type mate.

After mating, the female may lay eggs as in the case of chickens, ducks and other animals like fishes, insects and frogs. These eggs later hatch into young animals.

In other animals like goats, cows, dogs, etc., after the male and the female mate, the female carries the pregnancy and later gives birth to the young animal alive.

Teacher’s remark – Like other living things, human beings reproduce. It’s what keeps the population going. In humans, this happens when the male and female reproductive systems work together to make a baby.

In this week lesson, we are going to be learning the human reproductive system.

MEANING OF REPRODUCTION

Reproduction is the process by which a living organism produces its young ones or likeness.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS 

MALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN 

Male reproductive organs produce sperms and transfer it to the female reproductive organ to get fertilized and produce the new one of their kind.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS – MALE

Male internal structures are the –

1. Vas deferens

2. Seminal vesicles

3. Prostate gland, and

4. Bulbourethral glands.

 

Male external structures are the –

1. Private part

2. Testicles

3. Epididymis

FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN 

Female reproductive organs produces ovum (eggs) and when get fuse with the male gamete (sperms), produces the young ones and nurture it till the full growth before birth.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS – FEMALE

Female’s internal reproductive organs are the –

1. Private part

2. Uterus

3. Fallopian tubes

4. Cervix, and

5. Ovary.

 

Female’s external reproductive organs are the –

1. Mons pubis

2. Pudendal cleft

3. Majora and minora

4. The outer part of the female genitals

5. Bartholin’s gland, and

6. Sweet spot.

 

FUNCTIONS OF MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM 

Functions of Male Reproductive System

1. Produce sperm.

2. Transfer sperms to the ovum.

Functions of Female Reproductive System

1. Produce ovum (eggs)

2. Receive and fertilize the male sperm.

3. Support the development of the growing embryo.

4. To provide nourishment to the infants (newborn) by secreting milk in mammary glands (breast).

CARES OF MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS
