  2. List of related male and female reproductive organs - Wikipedia

    One difference between the glans penis and the glans clitoridis is that the glans clitoridis packs nerve endings into a volume only about one-tenth the size of the glans penis. Therefore, the glans clitoridis has greater variability in cutaneous corpuscular receptor density (1-14 per 100× high-powered field) compared with the glans penis (1-3 ...

  3. Rete ovarii - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete_ovarii

    It is a narrow hilus, at which nerves and vessels enter the ovary. In the medulla of the mammalian ovary near the hilus are small masses of blind tubules or solid cords—the rete ovarii—which are homologous with the rete testis in the male. The microscopic right ovary of birds usually consists only of medullary tissue.

  4. Ovary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovary

    The ovary (from Latin ōvārium 'egg') is a gonad in the female reproductive system that produces ova; [1] when released, an ovum travels through the fallopian tube/oviduct into the uterus. There is an ovary on the left and the right side of the body.

  5. Sex organ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_organ

    Sex organs are typically differentiated into male and female types. In animals (including humans), the male sex organs include the testicles, epididymides, and penis; the female sex organs include the clitoris, ovaries, oviducts, and vagina. The testicle in the male and the ovary in the female are called the primary sex organs. [1]

  6. Sexual differentiation in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_differentiation_in...

    The embryo and subsequent early fetus appear to be sexually indifferent, looking neither like a male or a female. Over the next several weeks, hormones are produced that cause undifferentiated tissue to transform into either male or female reproductive organs. This process is called sexual differentiation.

    The reverse is true for the Müllerian duct, as it essentially disappears in the male reproductive system and forms the fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina in the female system. In both sexes, the gonads go on to form the testes and ovaries; because they are derived from the same undeveloped structure, they are considered homologous organs ...

  9. Folliculogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folliculogenesis

    The follicle is now 0.2 mm in diameter Early tertiary: The early tertiary follicle is arbitrarily divided into five classes. Class 1 follicles are 0.2 mm in diameter, class 2 about 0.4 mm, class 3 about 0.9 mm, class 4 about 2 mm, and class 5 about 5 mm. Late tertiary: Fully formed antrum, no further cytodifferentiation, no novel progress
