THE PARTS OF THE HUMAN

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM AND THEIR

FUNCTIONS
for Science Grade 5
Quarter 2 / Week1

1
 FOREWORD
This self-learning kit is prepared to help and
enhance learners about the parts of reproductive
system and their functions. It will be your guide as you
learn new things and experience that will enhance
your prior knowledge on some scientific concepts.
In this learning kit the learners will be able to fully
understand the parts of a reproductive system and
their function. You will also learn to appreciate the
different structure and capabilities of each part.
It is divided into three parts:
I. What happened It is where the learners are
going to answer the exercises to gauge their
prior knowledge about the learning
competency.
II. What I need to know It is in this part that the
learners will be able to gain more knowledge
about the learning competency.
III. What I have learned It is in this part that the
learners had already enhanced their
knowledge and had master the learning
competency of the parts of reproductive
system and their functions.
It is expected that the learners will be equipped
with the skills of the learning standards and use them
in their day to day activities.

What is male reproductive system? What are the different parts and
their functions?

5
 The male reproductive system is made up of several organs which
include the testes, ducts, accessory glands and penis. It is specifically
responsible for producing sperm cells and hormones. A sperm cell is
needed to fertilize an egg cell. Hormones are responsible for the
development of adult male characteristics.
A male can produce numerous sperm cells. An average man can
have approximately 5, 000,000 in a single drop of his semen. Out of these
millions of sperm cells, only one is needed to fertilize an egg cell.
The different parts of the male reproductive system have their
specific functions.
PART FUNCTION

Penis is the external male organ with a tip called glans.

PENIS It is covered with foreskin that may be removed
through circumcision.

Scrotum is a pair of pouch like sacs that contains the

testes. It also controls the testes’ temperature
SCROTUM
because they must be slightly cooler than the body to
produce sperm cells.

Testes (singular, testis) are the glands that produce the

TESTES sperms cells and the male sex hormone called
testosterone.

The epididymis is a narrow, coiled tube that stores

EPIDIDYMIS
sperm cells.

The urethra in males is the passageway of both urine

URETHRA
from the urinary bladder and semen from the glands.

Seminal Vesicles are saclike pouches attached to the

SEMINAL vas deferens. It contributes to the semen production,
VESICLES a sugar-rich fluid which provides energy for the sperm
cells’ motility.

The vas deferens is a long, muscular tube that serves

VAS as the passageway of the sperm cells released from
DEFERENS the testes; it also connects the testes to the seminal
vesicle and the urethra.

6
 Cowper’s Gland also called as the bulbourethral
gland, is one of the two pea-sized organs found
COWPER’S
beneath the prostate gland. It is responsible for
GLAND
releasing fluid that flushes out foreign matters and
neutralizes the acidic urine in the urethra.

Prostate Gland is a gland located between the

PROSTRATE
bladder and the penis. It produces fluid that nourishes
GLAND
and protects the sperm.

The Parts of the Female Reproductive System

What is female reproductive system? What are the different parts

and their functions?

The female reproductive system is made up of several organs

which include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus and vagina. It is
specifically responsible for producing egg cells and supporting a
developing baby inside a mother’s womb.
The egg cell is only one-tenth of a millimeter, about the size of the
diameter of a hair strand.

7
 The different parts of the female reproductive system have their
specific functions.

PART FUNCTION
The ovary produces egg cells as well as the female
sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. Female
humans have two ovaries. About 70, 000 potential
egg cells are already present in the ovaries of a
female when she is born. However, only about 500 of
OVARY
these eggs will mature. The mature eggs are
released one by one every month once the female
reaches puberty and until she is about 43-45 years
old. The mature egg cell leaves the ovary through
the fallopian tube.

The fallopian tubes lead the egg from the ovary to

the uterus. This is also the usual site of fertilization of
FALLOPIAN
the egg cell and sperm cell. Female humans have
TUBES
fallopian tubes, each connecting to an ovary to the
side of the uterus.

Also called the womb, the uterus is a hollow muscular

organ located at the lower abdomen. It has a soft,
smooth inner lining called the uterine lining or
endometrium. This lining becomes thicker as it
UTERUS accumulates blood and nutrients to accommodate
the unborn baby as it develops. It is also the site
where the fertilized egg is implanted. If the egg cell
is not fertilized it, together with the uterine lining, it will
break down and is discharged during menstruation.

The cervix is located at the lower part of the uterus.

It is a narrow opening between the uterus and the
CERVIX
vagina. During childbirth, it expands to allow the
passage of the baby.

Also called the birth canal, the vagina is a hollow,

muscular tube that extends from the cervix to the
VAGINA
vaginal opening called vulva. It expands to let the
baby pass during normal delivery.
