  2. Human reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_reproduction

    Human sexual reproduction, to produce offspring, begins with fertilization. Successful reproduction typically involves sexual intercourse between a healthy, sexually mature and fertile male and female. [1] During sexual intercourse, sperm cells are ejaculated into the vagina through the penis, resulting in fertilization of an ovum to form a ...

    The human female reproductive system is a series of organs primarily located inside the body and around the pelvic region of a female that contribute towards the reproductive process. The human female reproductive system contains three main parts: the vagina, which leads from the vulva, the vaginal opening, to the uterus; the uterus, which ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproductive_biology

    Human reproductive biology is primarily controlled through hormones, which send signals to the human reproductive structures to influence growth and maturation. These hormones are secreted by endocrine glands , and spread to different tissues in the human body.

  6. Human fertilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_fertilization

    Human fertilization is the union of an egg and sperm, occurring primarily in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. [1] The result of this union leads to the production of a fertilized egg called a zygote, initiating embryonic development. Scientists discovered the dynamics of human fertilization in the 19th century. [2]

  7. Development of the reproductive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the...

    The development of the reproductive system is the part of embryonic growth that results in the sex organs and contributes to sexual differentiation. Due to its large overlap with development of the urinary system , the two systems are typically described together as the genitourinary system .

  8. Genitourinary system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genitourinary_system

    The genitourinary system, or urogenital system, are the sex organs of the reproductive system and the organs of the urinary system. [1] These are grouped together because of their proximity to each other, their common embryological origin and the use of common pathways. Because of this, the systems are sometimes imaged together. [2]

  9. Reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction

    Reproduction (or procreation or breeding) is the biological process by which new individual organisms – "offspring" – are produced from their "parent" or parents. There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism.
