II.      Key Concepts:

The male and female individuals have reproductive systems. The male reproductive system is consisted of the scrotum, testes, male ducts, seminal vesicles, prostate, bulbourethral glands, semen, and penis while the female reproductive system has the ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, vulva, perineum and mammary glands.

Circumcision is a surgical procedure in which part of or the entire prepuce is removed. It has benefits such as lowering the risk of urinary tract infections, protection against penile cancer, and possibly lowering he risk for sexually transmitted diseases.

There are birth control methods like surgical sterilization, hormonal methods like oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices (IUD), spermicides, barrier methods, periodic abstinence and abortion.

Abortion refers to the premature expulsion of the products of conception from the uterus, usually before the twentieth week of pregnancy. It could be done naturally through miscarriage or induced.

There are some disorders of the reproductive system like the testicular cancer, prostate disorders, erectile dysfunction, premenstrual syndrome, endometriosis, breast cancer, etc.
