epididymis
Consists of a single coiled microscopic tube that measures almost 20 feet (6 meters) in length. Collects sperm from the testis and provides the environment for sperm to mature and acquire the ability to move through the female reproductive system and fertilize an ovum.

urethra
Serves a dual function in males. This channel is the part of the urinary tract that transports urine from the bladder and the part of the reproductive system through which semen is ejaculated.

|
fallopian tube
two tubes leading from the ovaries into the uterus.
|
Clitoris
Has no function in reproduction but is the main pleasure center for females
during sex. |
