Reproductive Anatomy

We have an extensive collection of illustrations of the reproductive anatomy of females and males. Illustrations are often available with or without labels and would make a wonderful addition to websites, books or leaflets.

Male & Female Reproductive Systems 

Female Reproductive Anatomy

The female reproductive system consists of both external and internal genitalia. The external genitalia consists of the perineum, mons pubis, clitoris, urethral meatus, labia majora and minora, vestibule, greater vestibular glands and periurethral area. The internal genitalia includes the vagina, uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries.

There are two main functions of female reproductive anatomy: to allow sperm to enter the body to enable conception and to produce the internal genital organs from bacteria and infections. The internal reproductive anatomy produces eggs for reproductive purposes and regulates the menstrual cycle. If an egg is fertilized by a sperm it will travel down the fallopian tubes into the uterus and implant into the lining of the uterus, allowing a fetus to develop.

Male Reproductive Anatomy

The male reproductive system also consists of external and internal organs that have the function of producing and delivering sperm for reproductive purposes. The external genitalia includes the scrotum, testes and penis. Internal anatomy includes the epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, seminal vesicles, urethra and prostrate gland.

The testes are responsible for the production of both testosterone and sperm. The testes produce around 12 trillion sperm over an average lifetime. The testes are external rather than internal to enable sperm to remain around 4 degrees Fahrenheit below body temperature which is the optimum temperature for spermatogenesis.
