Abstract
The reproductive organs function to produce and transport germinal cells (oocytes and sperm) to a site where fertilization can occur. The male reproductive organs are the testes, and the female reproductive organs are the ovaries. The oviduct serves to deliver the oocytes from the ovaries to the external environment, where they will be fertilized by the sperm cells.
