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.
The pelvis is, in general, different between the human female and male skeleton. [12] [13] Although variations exist and there may be a degree of overlap between typically male or female traits, [12] [13] the pelvis is the most dimorphic bone of the human skeleton and is therefore likely to be accurate when using it to ascertain a person's sex ...
Male reproductive system. The male reproductive system is a series of organs located outside the body and around the pelvis region of a male that contribute towards the reproduction process. The primary direct function of the male reproductive system is to provide the male sperm for fertilization of the ovum. [3] Penile shrinkage due to low ...
The pelvic cavity is a body cavity that is bounded by the bones of the pelvis. Its oblique roof is the pelvic inlet (the superior opening of the pelvis). Its lower boundary is the pelvic floor. The pelvic cavity primarily contains the reproductive organs, urinary bladder, distal ureters, proximal urethra, terminal sigmoid colon, rectum, and ...
The female pelvis is lighter and thinner than the male pelvis. [11] The female inlet is larger and oval in shape, while the male sacral promontory projects further (i.e. the male inlet is more heart-shaped). [10] The sides of the male pelvis converge from the inlet to the outlet, whereas the sides of the female pelvis are wider apart. [12]
Successful reproduction typically involves sexual intercourse between a healthy, sexually mature and fertile male and female. [1] Because of ejaculation during intercourse, the male reproductive system deposits semen containing sperm into the female reproductive system, which can result in the fertilization of an ovum, to form a zygote. [1]
As might be expected, the contents of the urogenital triangle differ greatly between the male and the female. Some of the components include: [1] Posterior scrotal nerves / posterior labial nerves; Urethra; Vagina; Bulbourethral gland / Bartholin's gland; Muscles Superficial transverse perineal muscle; Ischiocavernosus muscle; Bulbospongiosus ...
