The uterus is a fisted sized organ embryo grows. The vagina is a passageway where the baby is born and were sperm is deposited.
Homeostasis
A regulation is testes temperature. On cold days during swimming the tests will retract closer to the body. Excessive heating will affect sperm motility. For the females the vagina pH is being controlled. It is usually keep at an acidic environment by secretions to kill microbes. The menstrual hormonal responds detrimental changes aim to create the best environment .
