UTERUS Sometimes called the womb – if an egg is fertilised it will implant in the wall of the uterus and develop into a foetus CERVIX The opening or ‘neck’ of the uterus at the top of the vagina. VAGINA Connects the cervix to the outside of the body - sperm is deposited here by the penis during sex OVUM The female sex cell – sometimes called an ‘egg’. OVARY After puberty, egg or ovum is released from here once every 28 days or so. OVIDUCT Carries the ovum from the ovary to the uterus – the egg is fertilised here. SPERM The male sex cell – it is adapted to swim from the vagina to the egg. TESTES After puberty, these make sperm continuously. SCROTUM A sac of skin which holds the testes .

Outline the route taken from the testes by the sperm as it leaves the body Sperm leaves the testes and travels down the sperm duct... ... which travels past/through the glands. The glands provide the sperm cells with food so that they have energy for swimming The sperm duct joins the urethra... ... which carries the sperm out of the body.
