Fertilisation - The process by which male and female gametes are combined producing a zygote, Ovulation - The process by which egg cells are released as part of a cycle approximately every 28 days, Zygote - A new cell that contains the genetic information of the sperm and the egg., Fallopian tubes - The tubes connecting the ovary and uterus, Gamete - A term used to describe sex cells which contain half a set of the organism’s genetic information. They are made through meiosis and therefore vary greatly in their genetic information, Ovary - The female organ that produce and release female gametes, Egg - Female gamete (sex cell) that are that are released during ovulation and is the female’s part of the offspring’s genetic information, Uterus - The organ in the female where the offspring develops before its birth, Sperm - Male gametes (sex cells) that are designed to swim to the egg and deliver the male’s part of the offspring’s genetic information, Cervix - The opening between the vagina and uterus., Vagina - The female organ that receives the penis during intercourse and where the semen is ejaculated., Urethra - Found in both males and females and carries urine out of the body. In males it also carries semen out of the body., Sperm - Male gamete/sex cells which are specialised in a way that enables them to swim, Epididymis - A structure on the outer part of the testes where sperm cells mature, Testes - The organs where sperm cells are made, Pistil - The part of the flower bearing female gametes (ovum) including stigma, style, ovary and ovule, Vas deferens - The tubes linking the testes to the glands and urethra, Stamen - The part of the flower bearing male gamete (pollen) which includes anther and filament, Glands - Cowpers gland, prostate gland and seminal vesicle. Responsible for adding vital fluid to the sperm which make semen, Penis - The male organ that is used to deliver the semen into the female’s vagina, Right Ventricle - Chamber of the heart that pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, Pulmonary circulation - Chamber of the heart that pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs where oxygen is added and carbon dioxide is removed, Left Ventricle - Chamber of the heart that pumps blood to the body via the aorta, Right Atrium - Chamber of the heart that receives blood from the body via the vena cava, Plasma - The liquid component of blood that is about 90% water, Left atrium - Chamber of the heart that receives blood from the lungs via the pulmonary vein, Platelet - Part of the blood that helps to form blood clots. This component is important for repairing wounds, Red blood cell - Specialised cells that carry oxygen around the body, Capillary - The smallest of blood vessels that are small and have very thin walls. They are important for allowing gases, nutrients and waste to enter/exit the bloodstream, White blood cell - Specialised cells in the blood that are part of the immune system. There are 2 types: lymphocytes and phagocytes,
