The sexual or genital organs are also known as both female and male reproductive systems, they are so named because they are involved in human sexual reproduction; According to their visibility, these organs are divided into two groups: internal and external sexual organs.
Among the female sexual organs are:
Internal: Ovaries, these are two ovoid-shaped organs with the appearance of large almonds, they are producers of oocytes and also contain glandular elements of internal secretion.
They follow the uterine tubes, these are tubular organisms that measure approximately between 10 to 15 cm in length, their main function is the conduction of the female and male gametes and also the zygote after the fertilization process. Later is the Uterus, which is described as a hollow muscular organ that allows the implantation of the zygote in the stage of pregnancy; Finally, there is the vagina, which is the female copulatory organ, it also covers a role as a birth canal for the expulsion of the newborn.
External: Vulva, which is made up of the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora and the clitoris (female erectile organ).
The male sexual organs are:
Internal: Testicles, ovoid organs located within the scrotal bags and are suspended by the spermatic cords, this is responsible for the production of testosterone and spermatogenesis. After this are the spermatic pathways: the epididymis that is responsible for maturing the spermatozoa, the vas deferens which transports the spermatozoa to the urethra in ejaculation, and the ejaculatory duct that carries the seminal fluid (this fluid originates in the seminal vesicles).
External: Penis, this is the male copulatory organ and is traversed through the urethral duct or urethra, its nature is erectile due to the fact that inside there are cavernous and pulpy cylindrical bodies that, when filled with blood, allow the erection of the penis (this is controlled by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems). Scrotum, is nothing more than the skin covering the testicles, epididymis and lower part of the spermatic cord, this is responsible for maintaining the appropriate temperature for spermatogenesis (formation of sperm) to be achieved.
