- Human Reproduction
- Humans are sexually reproducing and viviparous. The male reproductive system is composed of a pair of testes, the male sex accessory ducts, the accessory glands, and external genitalia. The female reproductive system consists of a pair of ovaries, a pair of oviducts, a uterus, a vagina, external genitalia, and a pair of mammary glands. The reproductive cycle of female primates is called the menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle starts only after attaining sexual maturation (puberty). Coitus followed by fertilization leads to the formation of a zygote. After 9 months of pregnancy, the fully developed foetus is ready for delivery.
