During this process, the erect penis of the maleis inserted into the female's vagina until the male ejaculatessemen, which contains sperm, into the female's vagina.

The human male reproductive system is a series oforgans located outside the body and around the pelvic region of amale that contribute towards the reproductive process. Theprimary direct function of the male reproductive system is toprovide the male gamete or spermatozoa for fertilization of theovum.

The human female reproductive system contains threemain parts: the vagina, which acts as the receptacle for the male'ssperm, the uterus, which holds the developing fetus, and theovaries, which produce the female's ova.
