(M) scrotum a pouch of skin that houses the testes
(M) penis external cylinder-shaped organ - moves urine and semen out of the body
(M) epididymis coiled tube located superior to each teste - responsible for maturation of sperm cells
(M) vas deferens connects the epididymis to the urethra
(M) seminal vesicles sac-like organs - secrete seminal fluid that stimulates muscle contractions in the female reproductive organs to aid in propelling sperm forward
(M) prostate gland surrounds the proximal urethra - contracts during ejaculation to aid in forward movement of sperm - secretes fluid that protects sperm within the vagina

(F) fallopian tubes muscular tubes with proximal open near each ovary - connects distally to uterus - receives egg during ovulation
(F) uterus hollow muscular organ lying lower in pelvic cavity - receives fertilized egg, implants into uterine wall for fetal development - in nonpregnant female, uterine lining sloughs off monthly (menstruation)
(F) (uterus) cervix lower portion of uterus - creates barrier between uterus and vagina - dilates during childbirth
(F) vagina muscular tube extending from uterus to outside of the body - expands during intercourse and childbirth
(F) labia majora folds of skin and adipose tissue that protect other external female genitalia
(F) labia minora folds of skin within the labia majora - pinkish in color due to high blood circulation - forms a hood over the clitoris
(F) clitoris highly sensitive female erectile tissue located anterior to the urethra
(F) perineum area between the vagina and anus
(F) estrogen group of female sex hormones
(F) progesterone hormone secreted by ovaries
