| The male gamete. | Sperm |
| A form of asexual reproduction in which females produce offspring from unfertilized eggs. | Parthenogenesis |
| The fusion of gametes that parents have discharged into the environment. | External fertilization |
| A secreting tissue in the ovary that forms from the collapsed follicle after ovulation and produces progesterone. | Corpus luteum |
| The neck of the uterus, which opens into the vagina. | Cervix |
| An organ at the upper intersection of the labia minora that engorges with blood and becomes erect during sexual arousal. | Clitoris |
| An exocrine gland that secretes milk to nourish the young. Mammary glands are characteristic of mammals. | Mammary glands |
| A coiled tubule located adjacent to the mammalian testis where sperm are stored. | Epididymis |
| In mammals, the tube in the male reproductive system in which sperm travel from the epididymis to the urethra | Vas deferens |
| The fluid that is ejaculated by the male during orgasm; contains sperm and secretions from several glands of the male reproductive tract. | Semen |
| A cell that divides mitotically to form oocytes. | Oogonia |
| A hormone produced in the male and female gonads that functions in part by regulating the anterior pituitary by negative feedback. | Inhibin |
| The cyclic recurrence of the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase in the mammalian ovary, regulated by hormones. | Ovarian cycle |

| A developing mammal that has all the major structures of an adult. In humans, the fetal stage lasts from the 9th week of gestation until birth | Fetus |
| The deliberate prevention of pregnancy. | Contraception |
| The cutting and sealing of each vas deferens to prevent sperm from entering the urethra. | Vasectomy |
| Fertilization of oocytes in laboratory containers followed by artificial implantation of the early embryo in the mother's uterus. | In virto fertilization (IVF) |
