Which part of the male reproductive system holds and protects the testes?

the male testes are protected by the scrotum. a layer of skin covering the "ball sack".

Can a sterile male get a female pregnant?

Not with his own semen. Though if he came into contact with another man's semen (having sex with another man or even a woman who recently had sex), then the "foreign" semen could impregnate the woman.

When do the reproductive structures known as gonads appear?

The female ovaries are generally developed about 100 days after fertilization. The male testis do not descend into the scrotum until the ninth month of development although this sometimes occurs after birth.

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 is starting of the reproductive age called?

Puberty or maturity is the term for the onset or reproductive life. A related term, menarche, means the first menstrual period.

What are the causes of having a blighted ovum?

A blighted ovum (also called an "anembryonic pregnancy") is a fertilized egg which implants in the uterus and begins to develop a gestational sac. The fertilized egg, however, fails to form beyond that point and is absorbed back into the body. Often the body is slow to realize the pregnancy has failed, and as a result the gestational sac continues to grow. This, in turn, causes pregnancy hormone levels to continue to rise (albeit at a slower rate than they would in a healthy pregnancy).

This loss occurs before six-and-a-half weeks, although it may not be discovered until later. About 90 percent of blighted ovums are chromosomal errors. They are usually discovered when a healthcare provider fails to detect a heartbeat or an ultrasound reveals an empty gestational sac. The fetus should be seen, if the pregnancy is successful, by the 8th week. Often the fetal pole can not be seen before this time in an u/s because it is too small to be detected by this (or any) means. On or after the 8th week, if a fetal pole is still not detected, a blighted ovum will be diagnosed.

Blighted ovums are common, and account for about 50% of all miscarriages.

How big is a mans testicle sack?

It depends on weather. It gets larger on hot days and shrink in cold weather.

What is the most pleasurable position?

It's really depend on the person. Try them all and see for yourself.

How do the sperm cells travel through the female system?

Sperm starts at the seminiferous tubules and travels to the tubuli recti, rete testis, ductuli efferentes, ductis epidiymis, ductus deferens, seminal vesicles, then through the prostate gland and to the urethra.

When does the reproductive system begin to function fully?

Physically, girls are able to reproduce as soon as they get their period, and a boy can impregnate a girl as soon as he can ejaculate. However, the younger a girl is, the higher the risk of death and birth defects.

Does the sperm start to fertalize inside the fallopian tube?

No. Fallopian tubes exist only in women. Sperm is produced only by men.

Pathway of the female reproductive system?

for successful fertilusation to take place the penis must enter the vagina and ejaculate spermazoa (sperm) into the vagina. the sperm then travels into the fillopian tubes where an egg will be making its way towards the uterus after ovulation. the sperm then fertilises the egg, this process forms a zygote. as the zygote travels towards the uterus clevage begins (clevage is the dividing of the ball of cells to form a ball of cells, reffered to as the embryo). the embryo then embedds into the uterine wall lining (endometrium) where it then begins its growth and development. the endometrium provides the embryo with nutrients for growth and development. after the emrbyo has had time to develope in around 9 months the baby will be born.

Where in the female body is oestrogen and progesterone produced?

They are made in the ovaries. They are responsible for female sexual development and maintenance mainly.

Major functions of the female reproductive system?

The main components of the female reproductive system are ovaries, Fallopian tubes, a uterus, the cervix, and the genital canal. Ovaries produce eggs, which then travel down the Fallopian tubes and enter the uterus, where they are fertilized. Fertilized eggs will then develop into a human baby if there re no problems. Once the baby has reached full term and is ready to be born, the cervix will dilate and the baby will pass through the cervix, through the genital canal, and then out of the mother's body.

Can a female reproductive organs be implanted in a male?

Short answer: No

Longer answer: Yes but they are not going to work, the male does not have the hormones to trigger their function

There are however cases of transgender males with functional female reproductive organs, however these are legitimate xxy chromosome people not xx or xy

Then there are the medically created exceptions: A former female surgically transformed into a male who then has reproductive organs could still function

But these exceptions are either medical creations or biological anomalies and not the norm.

How does the egg move to the fallopian tube when it is dischrge by the ovary?

The egg released by the ovary is moved by the fimbriae into the fallopian tube. Once fertilized, the egg travels to the uterus for implantation.

What can increase a reproductive potential?

Tips to increase fertility:

  • Don't smoke
  • Don't drink alcohol
  • Lose weight if you're overweight
  • Exercise
  • Don't get stressed
  • Improve your diet
  • Multi vitamin pills
  • Full fat dairy
  • Don't eat sugar
  • Better sex
  • Patience

What are the finger-like ends of fallopian tubes?

The finger-like ends of the fallopian tubes that catch the ovum are called fimbriae.

In contrast, the hair-like projections on the luminal surface (inner wall) of the fallopian tubes are called cilia.

When does the ovum divide?

After the egg is released from the ovary, it travels into the fallopian tube. It stays there until a single sperm fertilizes it. The fertilized egg starts growing fast, dividing into many cells and then it leaves the fallopian tube and enters the uterus three to four days after fertilization.
