| | THE HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM |
| | Most of the changes at puberty can be seen as preparation for the process of reproduction, and for the eventual role of parenthood. | | | When this happens, the reproductive system also has effects on other systems, all round the body - secondary sexual characteristics. | | | All the topics in Human Biology which have been covered so far - the body systems and their functioning - apply equally to males and females. |

| | The Reproductive System |
| | From this point onward, the reproductive system leads deeper and deeper into the body. | | | Our overview of the reproductive system begins at the external genital area— or vulva—which runs from the pubic area downward to the rectum. | | | The vagina is a muscular, ridged sheath connecting the external genitals to the uterus, where the embryo grows into a fetus during pregnancy. |

| | The external genitals, or vulva, include the clitoris, erectile tissue that responds to sexual stimulation, and the labia, which are composed of elongated folds of skin. | | | The first stage of the male sexual act, erection, results from nerve impulses from the autonomic nervous system that dilate the arteries of the penis, thus allowing arterial blood to flow into erectile tissues of the organ. | | | Disorders that may affect the proper functioning of the reproductive system include abnormal hormone secretion, sexually transmitted diseases, and the presence of cancerous tissue in the region. |
