    Female Anatomy
    Cervix

    The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens


    into the vagina.
    Fallopian Tube

    Fallopian tubes go from the uterus to the ovaries. During


    ovulation, an ovary releases an egg into the fallopian
    tube next to it.
    Ovary
    There are two ovaries, one on
    either side of the uterus.
    Ovaries make eggs and
    hormones like estrogen and
    progesterone. These
    hormones help girls develop,
    and make it possible for a
    woman to have a baby.

    The ovaries release an egg as


    part of a woman's cycle. When
    an egg is released, it's called
    ovulation. Each egg is tiny –
    about one-tenth the size of a
    poppy seed.
    Uterus

    The uterus is where a fetus, or baby, grows. It is a


    hollow, pear-shaped organ with a muscular wall.
    Vagina

    The vagina is a tube that connects the uterus to the outside of


    the body. The entrance to the vagina is on the outside of the
    body. It's called the vaginal opening.
    Menstruation
    This video explains what happens during the
    menstrual cycle- and why.

    Male Anatomy
    Epididymis

    Next to each testicle, the epididymis is a light-colored tube


    where sperm is stored. From here, sperm are transported to the
    vas deferens.
    Penis

    The penis is made of two parts: the shaft (the main part) and
    the glans (the tip, sometimes called the head). The penis
    delivers sperm through the urethra.
    Prostate Gland

    This walnut-sized gland surrounds a portion of the


    urethra and produces some of the fluid in semen.
    Scrotum

    The scrotum (also called the scrotal sac) hangs under


    the penis and contains the testicles and epididymis.
    Seminal Vesicle

    Located at the base of the bladder, the two seminal


    vesicles secrete a thick fluid that nourishes the sperm.
    Testicle

    The two testicles (or testes) produce sperm and the


    male sex hormone testosterone.
    Urethra

    The urethra is the tube that carries semen and


    urine out of the penis.
    Vas Deferens

    This thin muscular tube transports the sperm from the


    epididymis to the urethra.
