Describe the functions of the following :
(a) Inguinal canal, (b) Prostate gland,
(c) Testis, (d) Ovary
(e) Oviduct.
(a) Inguinal canal: It is the canal which allows the descent of testes along with their ducts, blood vessels and nerves into the abdomen.
(b) Prostate gland: It is a bilobed structure which surrounds the urethra and pours an alkaline secretion into the semen.
(c) Testis: Testis is a male reproductive organ. There a pair of testes present in a scrotal sac descended outside the body cavity. Testes produce sperms which are the male gametes.
(d) Ovary: Ovary is a female reproductive organ.It produces ova i.e. female gametes.
(e) Oviduct: A pair of oviduct is present on either side of the uterus. Oviduct carries the released ovum from the ovary to the uterus.
