Reproductive System - Structure and function of male and female reproductive system, Structure and function of breast and Reproductive health.

The reproductive system is responsible for the production of offspring and the continuation of the species. In males, it includes organs such as the testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and penis, which produce and deliver sperm. In females, it consists of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and mammary glands, which produce eggs and support fertilization, pregnancy, and childbirth. The system is regulated by hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, ensuring proper sexual development and reproductive function. Healthy reproductive systems are essential for fertility and maintaining hormonal balance in the body.
