Cells Sex

Like other types of cells, germ cells are unique and important components of our body. They are responsible for reproduction and transmit genetic information from parents to offspring. Although germ cells have many functions, they are not only an important organ of reproduction, but also a fundamental component of our immunity, as they are involved in the formation of antibodies that protect our body from disease. Sex cells are formed through meiosis and mitosis in the ovaries and testes in women and men, respectively. In women, the ovaries produce both eggs (female reproductive cell) and oocytes (uterine cell). Sperm (male reproductive cells) are formed in the testicles of men. After formation, female and male reproductive cells move to different places in the body. In women, they eventually end up in the fallopian tube, where it is fertilized by sperm. During fertilization, the female reproductive cell transfers genetic material (DNA) from the mother into the surrounding liquid environment (the egg and sperm together form a zygote). After fertilization, the zygote begins to divide, forming an embryo, which then develops inside the uterus.

Male germ cells, on the other hand, are produced in the spermatogenic epithelium of the testicle and released into the urethra. The seminal fluid dilutes them before they enter the fallopian tube. After this, they enter the uterus, where another “fertilization” occurs - this time with an egg. Having received genetic material from two parents, the egg leads to the development of an embryo or fetus.
