| Question | Answer |
| It is the female reproductive cell (gamete). | Ovum / Egg cell |
| It is the male reproductive cell (gamete). | Spermatozoon |
| During this process, our body prepares for the reproductive process: reproductive organs become mature and secondary sex characteristics appear. | Puberty |
| They are changes in our body during puberty. For example: boys' voice gets deeper and girls' hips get wider. | Secondary sex characteristics |
| It is the external female sex organ. | Vulva |
| They are two organs that produce ova/egg cell.s | Ovaries |
| They are two tubes that carry ova/egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus. Fertilisation happens here. | Fallopian tubes |
| It is an organ with muscular walls where the fertilised ovum grows into a fetus. | Uterus |
| It is the narrow part of the uterus that leads to the vagina. | Cervix |
| It is a muscular canal that leads from the vulva to the uterus. It is where the baby leaves the body during birth. It is also where sperm cells enter during fertilisation. | Vagina |
| The uterus and the vagina perform this every 28 days when puberty starts. | Menstrual cycle |
| During this process, the ovum starts to mature inside one of the ovaries. | Ovarian cycle |
| It happens the 14th day of the ovarian cycle, when the ovum leaves the ovary. | Ovulation |
| During this process, the walls of the uterus become thicker with extra tissue and blood. | Uterine cycle |
| This happens if the ovum is not fertilised during ovulation. The extra tissue and blood come away of the walls of the uterus and leave te body through the vagina. | Menstruation |
| It expels sperm cells and deposits them in the vagina. | Penis |
| They produce millions of sperm cells. | Testicles |
| It is a bag that contains the testicles. | Scrotum |
| They are two tubes that carry sperm cells from the testicles to the seminal vesicles, the prostate and the urethra. | Vas deferens |
| They are two small glands which produce a liquid that becomes part of the semen. | Seminal vesicles |
| It is a liquid that contains nutrients to keep the sperm cells alive outside the man's body. | Semen |
| It is a large gland that produces a liquid that becomes part of the semen. | Prostate |
| It is a tube that goes from the bladder, through the prostate and out of the penis. It carries both semen and urine. | Urethra |
| It is the process through which a sperm cell reaches an ovum. | Fertilisation |
| It is a cell formed when the ovum and the sperm cell join in the fallopian tube. | Zygote |
| It is a group of cells formed when the zygote travels to the uterus and divides several times. | Embryo |
| It is the process between fertilisation and the birth of the baby. It lasts for about 40 weeks. | Pregnancy |
| It provides the fetus with oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood. It is connected to the baby through the umbilical cord. | Placenta |
| It is a thin bag of tissue that contains a liquid and protects the fetus from impacts and vibrations. | Amniotic sac |
| It is a liquid contained in the amnionic sac to protect the baby from impacts and vibrations. | Amniotic fluid |
| It is the process through which the baby leaves the uterus through the vagina. | Birth |
| They are movements of the uterus in a rhythmic way to make the cervix bigger to expel the baby. | Contractions |
| This is the scar that remains from our umbilical cord. | Navel |
| They produce milk so that the mother can feed the baby. | Mammary glands |
