The human reproductive system contains the largest (egg) and smallest (sperm) cells in the human body. It's time for scholars to review the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction. The instructor reminds them how meiosis allows for variation and then moves into the structures of the male and female reproductive parts. The video finishes by reviewing the menstrual cycle and its importance in reproduction. Video eight in a series of 21.
