Reproductive System

Reproductive System

The Reproductive System is a collection of internal and external organs in both males and females that work together for the purpose of procreating. The system is made up of a number of different parts that work together to create new life.

Male Reproductive System[edit | edit source]

The Male Reproductive System consists of a number of sex organs that are a part of the human reproductive process. These organs are located on the outside of the body and within the pelvis. The main male sex organs are the penis and the testicles which produce semen and sperm, which is needed for fertilization of the egg.

Female Reproductive System[edit | edit source]

The Female Reproductive System is made up of the internal and external sex organs that function in the reproduction of new offspring. The female reproductive system is immature at birth and develops to maturity at puberty to be able to produce gametes, and to carry a fetus to full term.

Reproductive Health[edit | edit source]

Reproductive Health refers to the diseases, disorders and conditions that affect the functioning of the male and female reproductive systems during all stages of life. Disorders of the female reproductive system can result in gynecological problems, infertility and cancer, while disorders of the male reproductive system can result in sexual dysfunction, prostate health problems and cancer.

These rights may include some or all of the following: the right to legal and safe abortion; the right to birth control; freedom from coerced sterilization and contraception; the right to access good-quality reproductive healthcare; and the right to education and access in order to make free and informed reproductive decisions.
