The Human Reproduction

The Human Reproduction The male reproductive system consists of the penis, testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland and Cowper's glands. The testicles produce sperm, the vas deferens funnel them into the urethra. Other glands secrete semen. The female reproductive system includes the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and clitoris. The ovary produces the egg, the fallopian tube where fertilization of the egg by sperm takes place. The uterus functions as a place for the growth and development of the fetus. The clitoris plays a role in sexual pleasure. The vagina is the baby's birth canal and the place where the penis enters during intercourse. At puberty, the reproductive organs begin to function to produce sex cells and secondary sex characteristics. The hormones estrogen and progesterone regulate the menstrual cycle in women. Testosterone triggers spermatogenesis in males. Hormones and nerves control the reproductive system of both males and females. This can be done by cleaning the penis and vagina regularly, and changing underwear regularly. Routine examinations with a specialist obstetrician or urologist can help detect early disease or abnormalities in the reproductive organs. Routine breast examination is also important for detecting breast cancer, especially in women. Risky sexual intercourse can cause sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore, it is important to avoid risky sexual relations, such as changing partners without using a condom. Do not have sexual intercourse when the reproductive organs are infected or injured. This can exacerbate the condition of the infection or wound. Ideal body weight and regular exercise can help maintain the health of the reproductive organs. Healthy hormones and metabolism can also support the health of the reproductive organs. Stress can interfere with reproductive hormones. Adequate rest can help keep the immune system primed.
