1.3 Notes Reproductive System

The document provides information about the human reproductive system. It explains that reproduction allows for the production of offspring through sex cells. The reproductive system develops during puberty due to hormonal changes. For females, puberty typically begins around age 11 and for males around age 13. Both experience physical changes like growth of hair and skin changes. The reproductive system has different organs for males and females to produce and transport either sperm or eggs and enable fertilization and childbirth.

Reproductive System

Reproduction: is the process of producing offspring or making sex cells

• The reproductive System is different in males than in females.


• Living things reproduce to make more offspring and have a generation
• Human life:

Zygote → Toddler → Child → Teenager → adult → zygote

• Parts of the reproductive system grows and develops as you grow.


• At the adult age, you have fully developed and can reproduce.
• Puberty: is when your body develops and grows internally and
externally for reproduction.
• Puberty is changes of the body due to hormones.
• Puberty age for girls: around 11 years old
• Puberty age for boys: around 13 years old

1. Oily skin (pimples)

• Changes in the reproductive system:


• The body makes special cells for reproduction called sex cells.
• Female sex cells are called eggs (ova)
• Male sex cells are called sperms
• Ferilisation: is when the sperm joins with the egg and forms a zygote
that grows into a baby.

• Fertilisation happens in the oviduct.
• Menstruation: Unfertilised egg (egg with sperm) dies and falls out
with blood.
• Menstruation happens for girls every month during puberty.

Male reproductive parts

• Function of the male reproductive parts:

1. Testis: produce the male sex cells, sperms

2. Sperm duct: carries the sperms to the penis

3. Penis: releases the sperm
