Reproductive toxicity refers to the potential risk from a given chemical, physical or biologic agent to adversely affect both male and female fertility as well as offspring development. [1] Reproductive toxicants may adversely affect sexual function, ovarian failure, fertility as well as causing developmental toxicity in the offspring. [2] [3 ...
Certain pathogens are also included since the toxins they secrete are known to cause adverse effects on the development of the organism when the mother or fetus is infected. The term developmental toxicity has widely replaced the early term for the study of primarily structural congenital abnormalities , teratology, to enable inclusion of a ...

Sex pheromones are a special type of olfactory signal, produced to attract the opposite sex, to encourage mating or to perform some other function closely related to sexual reproduction. While humans are highly dependent upon visual cues, smells can also play a role in sociosexual behaviors. An inherent difficulty in studying human pheromones ...
[53] [74] [75] [76] A study of dioxin in immature female rats induced early follicular development [77] and phthalates are known to decrease the anogenital distance in newborn rats. [65] Although this article focuses on the effects of xenoestrogens and reproductive function in females, numerous animal studies also implicate environmental ...
This list of related male and female reproductive organs shows how the male and female reproductive organs and the development of the reproductive system are related, sharing a common developmental path. This makes them biological homologues. These organs differentiate into the respective sex organs in males and females.
A sex organ, also known as a reproductive organ, is a part of an organism that is involved in sexual reproduction. Sex organs constitute the primary sex characteristics of an organism. Sex organs are responsible for producing and transporting gametes , as well as facilitating fertilization and supporting the development and birth of offspring.
