state the function of the following oviduct, uterus, umbilical cord, testes, ovary
Answers
Hello, here is your answer
Oviduct- Fallopian tube, also called oviduct or uterine tube, either of a pair of long narrow ducts located in the human female abdominal cavity that transport male sperm cells to the egg, provide a suitable environment for fertilization, and transport the egg from the ovary, where it is produced, to the central channel (lumen).
Uterus- Uterus, also called womb, an inverted pear-shaped muscular organ of the female reproductive system, located between the bladder and the rectum. It functions to nourish and house a fertilized egg until the fetus, or offspring, is ready to be delivered.
Umbilical cord- The cord is sometimes called the baby's “supply line” because it carries the baby's blood back and forth, between the baby and the placenta. It delivers nutrients and oxygen to the baby and removes the baby's waste products. The umbilical cord begins to form at 5weeks after conception.
Testes- The testes have two functions – to produce sperm and to produce hormones, particularly testosterone. Sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
Ovary- The ovaries have two main reproductive functions in the body. They produce oocytes (eggs) for fertilisation and they produce the reproductive hormones, oestrogen and progesterone.
