  2. Sex organ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_organ

    The development of the internal and external reproductive organs is determined by hormones produced by certain fetal gonads (ovaries or testicles) and the cells' response to them. The initial appearance of the fetal genitalia looks female-like: a pair of urogenital folds with a small protuberance in the middle, and the urethra behind the ...

  3. Human sex pheromones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sex_pheromones

    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 ...

  4. Human reproductive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_reproductive_system

    The vagina is attached to the uterus through the cervix, while the uterus is attached to the ovaries via the fallopian tubes. Each ovary contains hundreds of egg cells or ova (singular ovum). Approximately every 28 days, the pituitary gland releases a hormone that stimulates some of the ova to develop and grow. One ovum is released and it ...

  5. Neohormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neohormone

    These hormones are specific to mammals and are not found in other vertebrates [1] —this is because neohormones are evolved to enhance specific mammalian functions. [2] In males, neohormones play important roles in regulating testicular descent (the testes descend into the scrotum during foetal development) and preparing the sperm for internal ...

  6. Gonad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonad

    A gonad, sex gland, or reproductive gland [1] is a mixed gland and sex organ that produces the gametes and sex hormones of an organism. Female reproductive cells are egg cells, and male reproductive cells are sperm. [2] The male gonad, the testicle, produces sperm in the form of spermatozoa. The female gonad, the ovary, produces egg cells.

  7. Progesterone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progesterone

    It is produced by the ovaries. [52] Progesterone has also been shown to demonstrate effects on octopus spermatozoa. [53] Progesterone is sometimes called the "hormone of pregnancy", [54] and it has many roles relating to the development of the fetus: Progesterone converts the endometrium to its secretory stage to prepare the uterus for ...

  8. Reproductive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproductive_system

    Hormones produced by the ovaries prepare the uterus to receive the ovum. The ovum will move through her fallopian tubes and awaits the sperm for fertilization to occur. When this does not occur, i.e. no sperm for fertilization, the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium , and unfertilized ova are shed each cycle through the process of ...

  9. Ovary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovary

    At maturity, ovaries secrete estrogen, androgen, [13] [14] inhibin, and progestogen. [15] [16] [2] In women before menopause, 50% of testosterone is produced by the ovaries and released directly into the blood stream. The other 50% of testosterone in the blood stream is made from conversion of the adrenal pre-androgens ( DHEA and ...
