The Reproductive Organs
Captions available
The idea
The primary reproductive organs, the testes and the ovaries, produce sperm and eggs and also release hormones.
In practice
The testes release testosterone; the ovaries release estrogens and progesterone, which together drive the changes of the menstrual cycle.
Where people slip
Reproductive examinations call for privacy, consent and a chaperone where the practice requires it, covered in unit fourteen.
