    The reproductive system is made up of internal and external sex organs that work together to
    reproduce sexually. One of the most important characteristics of living organisms is the ability to
    reproduce, or the development of new generations of members of the same species. Internal fertilization
    through sexual intercourse is typical of the human reproductive system. The male puts their erect penis
    into the female's vagina and ejaculates semen, which includes sperm, during this procedure. After that, the
    sperm travels via the vagina and cervix into the uterus or fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg. Following
    successful fertilization and implantation, the embryo will gestate within the female's uterus for roughly
    nine months, a process known as pregnancy in humans. During the reproductive process, species pass
    genetic material from one generation to the next. Despite the loss of its representatives, this procedure
    assures the survival of this species over lengthy periods of time.

    It is hard to discern between the male and female gonads during the initial stage of gonadal
    development. The gonads develop from genital ridges, which are a pair of longitudinal ridges formed by
    intermediate mesoderm and overlaying epithelium. They do not have any germ cells at first. Gonads
    begin as a shared primordium, in the form of gonadal ridges, and are only subsequently differentiated into
    male or female sex organs. The testicle, or male gonad, generates sperm in the form of spermatozoa. The
    ovary, the female gonad, generates egg cells. Hormones and the environment have an impact on human
    growth and reproduction. Progesterone, testosterone, and estrogen are among the hormones that are
    impacted. In the empty ovarian follicle, the corpus luteum produces progesterone.  Progesterone keeps the
    uterine lining intact, which protects the fetus if fertilization happens.   Testosterone is produced in the
    male testicles and promotes masculine traits. The female ovaries produce estrogen. Estrogen promotes
    feminine traits while also thickening the uterine lining. Importantly, these hormones serve an important
    part in the general development and growth of the human body, as well as the proper functioning of its
    organs.

    Puberty is the process through which a child's body develops into an adult body capable of sexual
    reproduction. It begins with hormonal messages from the brain to the gonads: the ovaries in a female and
    the testes in a male. The gonads create hormones that increase desire as well as the growth, function, and
    change of the brain, bones, muscle, blood, skin, hair, breasts, and sex organs in response to the signals.
    Although there is a broad variety of normal ages, females normally begin puberty around the ages of 10-
    11 and end adolescence around the ages of 15-17; boys begin puberty around the ages of 11-12 and end
    around the ages of 16-17. Girls reach reproductive maturity four years after the onset of puberty's physical

    changes. Boys, on the other hand, develop more slowly but continue to grow for roughly six years
    following the first noticeable pubertal changes. Any gain in height after the age of puberty is unusual.
