How reproductive system depend on other with others systems to function?

The reproductive system relies on the endocrine system for hormone regulation, which is crucial for processes like ovulation and sperm production. The nervous system also plays a vital role by influencing sexual arousal and reproductive behaviors through signaling. Additionally, the circulatory system is essential for delivering hormones and nutrients to reproductive organs, while the immune system helps protect against infections that could affect reproductive health. Together, these systems ensure the reproductive system functions effectively and maintains overall health.

sperm competition.

Since the dawn of the sexes, males have vied with each other to get as many of their own sperm near a fertile egg as possible. Getting more of your sperm closer to an egg means there is a greater probability that it will be you and not your neighbor fertilizing it.

Can the female pee the male sperm out?

For men, yes, it clears out the urethra pretty well. There will be very few sperm left.

For women it makes no difference at all. Urinating does not reduce or wash out any sperm in the vagina at all. This is because the vagina is not part of the urination process.

Where is the site of fertilization?

What is the role of a sperm cell?

The role of a sperm cell is to travel or 'swim' in a liquidy substance called 'semen' (produced from the testicular glands located internally in the males reproductive organ). It travels through the cervix of the female reproductive organ, though the uterus and up the fallopian tube. (Depending on which day of the premenstrual cycle) The egg cell that is released from the ovary travels about half way down the tube. One of the millions of sperm cells is then connected with the egg cell, to which it quickly closes to prevent two cells getting in. The tail then falls off and the two nuclei join in the middle. This is the process of fertilisation. A fetus will then grow and 9 months later, hopefully a baby is produced.

How a male sperm enters vagina of woman?

If sperm is outside your vagina can it swim in?

If you mean sperm floating around in the pool, it would be exceedingly unlikely to get pregnant.

If you mean having sex while in the pool, then it is just as likely to get pregnant as if you were in a bed.

But it is important to remember, even if you have sex and then pull out and ejaculate into the water she can still get pregnant since pre-ejaculate (pre-cum) also has a small amount of sperm in it.

What are the causes of having a blighted ovum?

I was still on the pill when I became pregnant in September 2007. The pregnancy felt normal and I was progressing on. I had my first u/s in the beginning of November and was told that I had a blighted ovum. I was devastated. You become a mother the minute you find out you are pregnant. I waited a week for the natural progression. I did not want to have a d-an-c so I waited. I spotted a bit and every time thought this is it. It was never that time- I ended up taking the pill. I took it about 3 pm one afternoon (I was told to take it in the afternoon so I am not up all night into the early morning)- very good advice. I started having contractions at 3:30 pm. That pill works fast! I had 8 hours of stomach pain (labor like). Do not take that pill alone- have someone with you to hold your hand. There is a lot of bleeding involved... and if you over bleed (fill up a pad in short period of time) go to the hospital. It did not go that far for me- thank god! I would say it was about 11 pm the same day that I went to sleep. The next morning I felt fine and at about 3 pm. I had the urge to go to the bathroom where I delivered a small sac. I didnt even look at it - I just thought it was amazing that my body was even doing this..... I thought it was all going to be just bleeding- not full on delivery.... it was crazy.

I am doing well now- and have not conceived again as I am not sure I am ready. I am afraid this happens again even though I have choosen to stay off of the pill. I can say that hormones are not good for you and I would say that the pill can cause a blighted ovum or other chromosonal probelms.
