CONTENT
HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
As human and living things we give birth to young ones. That is reproduction. There are organs in male and female that aid reproduction processes.
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
The male reproductive system consists of a penis. Vas deferens (Sperm duct), a pair of testes in a scrotal sac, urethra and some associated glands.
FUNCTIONS OF THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
- Testes – produces sperm.
- Urethra – carries sperm within the penis into the female organs.
- Scrotal sac – protect testes.
- Penis – introduces sperm into the vagina.
- Vas deferens – transfer sperm from testes to seminal vesicle.
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
The female reproductive System
The female reproductive system consists of the Ovaries, Oviducts, Uterus and vagina.
FUNCTIONS OF THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
- Ovaries – produces eggs.
- Oviduct – carries egg cells to the uterus.
- Uterus – receives and cares for developing foetus.
- Vagina – Outlet from the uterus or womb.
REPRODUCTION PROCESS
- The male and the female come together and have sex.
- The male sex produces the male sperm (gametes) while the female sex produces the female egg cell (gametes or Ovum).
- The sperm is introduced into the female sex organ where it fuses with the egg during fertilization.
- The fusion produces a zygote, which develops into a new offspring inside the uterus of the female.
- The zygote then develops to embryo.
- After nine months the female will give birth to a baby.
INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURE
- The Teacher revises the previous lesson (EARTH AND SKY MOVEMENT).
- The Teacher introduces the lesson through question and answer (THE HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM).
- The Teacher explains the lessons.
- The Teacher write the note on the board.
LEARNERS ACTIVITIES
Learners participate in the class discussion
LESSON EVALUATION
Teacher ask the learners to:
- What is reproduction?
- Mention three male and female reproductive organs each.
- State the functions of the organs.
CONCLUSION: the teacher summarize the lesson.
