17 1. SPERM, EGG, FERTILIZATION A sperm fertilizes an egg.

18 2. TESTES, OVARIES Males have testes and females have ovaries.

19 3. OVARY, EGG Eggs are produced in an ovary.

20 4. TESTIS, SPERM are produced in the testes.

21 5. FALLOPIAN TUBE, UTERUS The Fallopian tube carries the egg from the ovary to the uterus.

22 6. MENSTRUAL CYCLE, OVULATION, EGG Ovulation occurs during the menstrual cycle. Ovulation happens when the ovary releases an egg. The Menstrual cycle prepares the lining of the uterus to support a fertilized egg. The cycle ends with menstruation (a period) when the lining breaks down and is shed.
