reproductive system The gonads, which produce the
GERM CELLS, and all associated organs and tissues in either sex that provide the mechanisms for fertilization and development of an embryo: in the male, the
testes, vasa deferentia,
prostate, seminal vesicles, and
penis; in the female, the
ovaries,
Fallopian tubes,
uterus,
vagina, and mammary glands (
breasts). Also, in both sexes, the relevant
sex hormones and the tissues that produce them.
