The genitalia include internal and external structures.

The female internal genitalia are the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina. The female external genitalia are the labia minora and majora (the vulva) and the clitoris.

The male internal genitalia are the testes, epididymis, and vas deferens and The male external genitalia

Function of sex organs are-

-to produce gametes, sperms in male and ovum in female by internal genitalia and transporting them.

- to produce hormones androgens in male and estrogen and progesterone in female.

and after fertilization male and female gamete fuse together and form zygote.
