The Reproductive System

__Reproductive system function__

The reproductive system is what started it all. Just four letters that make up a small word with a big meaning. Life. It all starts when a male and female have sexual intercourse. The sperm from the male enter through the vagina into the uterus. The egg has been released from the ovaries and is traveling down the fallopian tube where the sperm already are. Sperm start racing to see who gets to the egg first. Only one sperm can get to the egg first, not including twins. When you have identical twins, two sperm got to the egg at the same time and if you have fraternal twins, the zygote split in half. Finally! We have a winner. Now, the sperm and the egg combined make a zygote (which is the size of a pencil dot). The zygote travels down to the uterus. The uterus already has lining ready for the baby that is soon to be developed. In about nine months, a new life will be born and the cycle will continue until the end of time. Now, we all should know that in order to have a system, you need organs. Let’s find out what the reproductive system’s organs are!

__ Reproductive system organs __

The reproductive system has many organs. These organs are; the penis, the testicles, the ovaries and the uterus. These are the organs used in the reproductive system. The penis is an organ through which urine and semen pass through. It is also a sperm exit of the body. The uterus is where the baby stays for nine months. The testicles are what give off testosterone, a male hormone and the testicles are where sperm are made. The ovaries are what give off estrogen, a female hormone and the ovaries are also where eggs are developed and released. Whoa, those were a lot of organs. I wonder what other systems the reproductive system has to do with.

__ Systems the Reproductive system has to do with __

Believe it or not, there are other systems that have to do with the reproductive system. The immune system can fight off diseases that can develop in the penis, uterus, ovaries, and testicles. The endocrine system contains pituitary (pi-tu-eh-ta-ry) glands. They regulate the ovaries and testicles. The excretory system has a lot to do with the reproductive system. The excretory system even uses the same organs as the reproductive system. When a mother is pregnant, the baby inside her pees too so when the child pees, it goes out with the mother’s pee. That is why pregnant lady have to got to the bathroom a lot. The pee for two people at once so they contain double the urine inside them.

__ The Reproductive System Health __

There can be many many diseases in the reproductive system organs. Not only in the organs but in other parts of your body, too such as breast cancer. You can also get penis cancer, testicle cancer, ovary cancer, cervix cancer, etcetera. There are many of these cancers but you can easily prevent them. All you need to do is have safe sex. DO NOT under any circumstances exchange body fluids such as semen, blood, or breast milk. Also, use a condom when having sexual intercourse to prevent having babies. First of all, if your under aged, you shouldn’t even be having sexual intercourse in the first place. If you follow these simple steps, you can prevent having babies when you’re still a baby or getting HIV or AIDS.
