 reproductive system The body system that makes it possible
to create offspring
 egg cell
The female reproductive cell
 fertilization
The joining of a female egg cell with a
male reproductive cell
 menstruation
Blood, tissue, and the unfertilized egg
flow out of the body
 sperm
The male reproductive cell
In this lesson, you will learn to
 identify the parts and functions of the male and female
reproductive systems.
 explain how to care for the reproductive system.
Comparing and Contrasting
As you go through this lesson, compare and contrast the
female and male reproductive systems.
Human Reproduction
The male reproductive system is different
than the female reproductive system.
reproductive system The body system that makes it
possible to create offspring
The Female Reproductive System
The two main functions of the female
reproductive system are:
Storing egg cells
To reproduce
egg cell The female reproductive cell
The Female Reproductive System
The process of reproduction begins when the egg
cell joins with a male reproductive cell.
The ovaries are the two female reproductive glands
that store the egg cells.
The Female Reproductive System
After fertilization, an egg will travel to the uterus,
the organ in which the baby will develop.

reproductive cell
The Female Reproductive System
Menstruation is often referred to as a “period.”
menstruation Blood, tissue, and the unfertilized egg
flow out of the body
The Male Reproductive System
Sperm cells are made inside the testes.
sperm The male reproductive cells
The testes begin making sperm cells during
puberty.
Lesson 2 Review
What I Learned
Recall Name two functions of the female reproductive
system.
Lesson 2 Review
What I Learned
Vocabulary Define fertilization.
Lesson 2 Review
What I Learned
Identify Where in the male reproductive system are
the sperm made?
Lesson 2 Review
Thinking Critically
Compare How are the female and male reproductive
systems similar? How are they different?
Lesson 2 Review
Thinking Critically
Analyze James will be catcher this year for his
baseball team. What special precautions should James
