Female Reproductive System – Word list

 Ovaries  Uterus  Fallopian tubes

 Ovulation  Vagina  Hymen
 Ovum  Cervix  Labia
 Progesterone  Clitoris  Menstruation
 Puberty  Egg cells
 Sperm Cell  Oestrogen
*Each word in the list will only be used once

First, egg cells are produced in two almond-shaped organs

known as the ovaries. During the process of ovulation, a mature
egg (ovum) is released and enters one of the two fallopian
tubes. For a few days the egg cell travels towards the pear -
shaped uterus. The lining of this organ thickens in preparation
for a fertilised egg. If the egg is not fertilised by the male
sperm cell, it will leave the body together with the lining of the
uterus and a small amount of blood. This is called
menstruation.

The lower portion of the uterus is called the cervix and is a

common site for cancer in women. The female organ of
intercourse is the vagina. A circular fold of skin is usually
present at the entrance to the organ and is called the hymen.
Outside of this organ are folds of skin covered with pubic hair
known as the labia. Between these skin folds is a small, round
sensitive area of skin called the clitoris.

The development of the female reproductive system is triggered

by the hormones: oestrogen & progesterone, which causes
many physical changes in a girl.

Teacher Answer Sheet

Male Reproductive System – Word list

 Cowper’s gland  penis  sperm cells

 epididymis  prostate gland  testes
 erection  scrotum  urine
 nocturnal emissions  semen  urethra
 orgasm  seminal vesicle  vas deferens
*Each word in the list will only be used once

First, sperm cells are produced in the small seminiferous

tubules of the testicles. These oval shaped glands are
protected by a sac called the scrotum. After the sperm cells are
produced, they are stored in a large coiled tube on the outer
surface of each testicle called the epididymis. From this tube
the sperm go into a larger tube called the seminal vesicle,
which eventually carries them to the external male reproductive
organ, the penis. Along the way sperm is nourished by a sugary
fluid from the Prostate gland which is the most common site for
cancer in men, and fluid from the Cowper's gland which are two
small glands located near the bladder.

These fluids, plus the sperm cells combine to form semen, the
fluid ejaculated from the penis during orgasm. Before a male
can ejaculate the spongy tissue surrounding the penis becomes
engorged with blood causing the penis to become still and hard.
This is known as an erection. The tube that carries the semen
from the body is the urethra. This tube also carries urine from
the bladder. Male can also have uncontrollable ejaculations
during sleep, which are called nocturnal emissions.

The development of the male reproductive system is triggered

by the hormone: Testosterone, which causes many physical
changes in a boy.
