Answer AND Explanation:

MALES

Testes: they are oval shaped structures that produce the male gametes and sex hormone called testosterone.

Seminiferous tubules: tubules where spermatogenesis occurs.

Vas deferens: are tubules which lead to the epididymis.

Epididymis: is along, coiled tube for storage of sperms. it contraction and relaxation pushes sperms out and allows ejaculation through the urethra.

Accessory glands like the seminal vesicles, cowper's gland and prostate gland produce seminal fluid that provides a nutrient medium for sperms to swim in.

Scrotum: contains the testes outside the body.

FEMALES

Ovary: these are oval-shaped structures that produce female gametes and sex hormones.

Oviduct: these are hollow structures with an expanded funnel-shaped opening which accepts the released ovum and directs it to the fallopian tube. Fertilization takes place in the oviduct  forming zygote.

Uterus: has an inner layer called endometrium which becomes folded and  vascularised to allow implantation. The endometrium nourishes the embryo..

Cervix: is a muscular ring between the uterus and the vagina. It secretes a plug of mucus, which prevents entry of pathogens and air

The vagina is a muscular copulatory canal into which penis enters. Vagina also allows passage of foetus during parturition.
