Discuss male vs female comparison- both in anatomy AND
sperm
vs ovum comparison.
Comparison of Male and Female systems:
Male | Female |
The male reproductive system consists of external organs. | The female reproductive system consists of internal organs. |
Male reproductive organ functions to produce sperms. | Female reproductive organ functions to produce ovum (eggs) |
The male reproductive system is located outside the body. | The female reproductive system is located inside the body. |
The hormones produced by the male reproductive system are androgen and testosterone. | The hormones produced by the female reproductive system are estrogen and progesterone. |
The important parts of male reproductive system are p.e.n.i.s, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, prostate gland etc., |
The important parts of female reproductive system are v.u.l.v.a, v.a.g.i.n.a, c.l.i.t.o.r.i.s, u.r.e.t.h.r.a etc., |
The main objective of male reproductive system is to produce sperm and deliver it to female for fertilization. | The main objective of female reproductive system is to produce ovum and to receive and fertilize the sperm from male. |
The male sperm is very small. | The female ovum is very large. |
The sperm can move. | The ovum cannot move. |
The sperm is long and motile and is differentiated into head and neck. | The ovum is non-motile and is not differentiated into different regions. |
The sperm in produced in testes. | The ovum is produced in ovaries. |
