Reproduction in humans is the affirmation of the continuation of life through the next generation. The reproductive system of an organism, also known as the genital system, is the biological system made up of all the anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction. Many non-living substances such as fluids, hormones, and pheromones are also essential accessories to the reproductive system. The primary function of the reproductive system is to ensure the survival of the species. Other systems in the body, such as the endocrine and urinary systems, work continuously to maintain homeostasis for the survival of the individual.
The human reproductive system in humans is a combination of male and female reproductive systems and requires the participation of both. Then the entire life cycle begins again: The offspring or the baby grows and reaches puberty when he/she starts becoming reproductively mature. Eventually, he/she grows into an adult and mingles with another adult to create life. In this lesson, you will learn about human reproductive systems in detail.
