Produces and releases antherozoids (male gametes). Typically a sac-like structure containing numerous sperm cells.
Produces and releases sperm. Small, spherical structure on the prothallus (gametophyte).
Produces microspores that develop into pollen grains. Found in male cones (strobili).
Carries the male gametes (sperm cells). Often contains two cells - a generative cell (that forms sperm) and a tube cell.
The collective term for the male reproductive organs in a flower. Consists of all the stamens in a flower.
The basic unit of the androecium; responsible for producing pollen. Consists of an anther and a filament.
Produces pollen grains, which contain the male gametes. Typically consists of four pollen sacs (microsporangia) where pollen is formed.
Each pollen sac in the anther is a microsporangium that produces microspores (pollen grains).
Produce sperm and secrete testosterone. Contain seminiferous tubules where spermatogenesis occurs.
Stores and matures sperm. A long, coiled tube located on the back of each testicle.
Transports mature sperm to the urethra. A muscular tube that connects the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts.
Produces male gametes (spermatia). Found in certain groups of fungi.
Produces and houses the egg cell (female gamete). Flask-shaped structure with a long neck and a swollen base.
Similar to bryophytes, it produces and houses the egg cell. Located on the underside of the prothallus (gametophyte).
Produces megaspores that develop into female gametophytes. Found within the ovules of female cones (strobili).
Develops into a seed upon fertilization. Contains the megasporangium and is surrounded by integuments.
The collective term for the female reproductive organs in a flower. Consists of one or more carpels.
The basic unit of the gynoecium; each carpel contains an ovary. Consists of the ovary, style, and stigma.
Contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization. The basal part of the carpel.
Develops into a seed after fertilization. Contains the female gametophyte, where the egg cell is produced.
Produces and contains the egg cell. Found in lower plants like algae and fungi, not typically in flowering plants.
The tissue within the ovule where megaspores are produced. Inside the ovary.
Produces eggs (ova) and secretes hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Contains follicles where eggs mature.
Transports eggs from the ovary to the uterus. A pair of tubes connected to the ovaries and the uterus.
Houses and nourishes the developing fetus. A muscular organ with an inner lining called the endometrium.
Produces and contains the egg cell. Found in certain groups of fungi.
Produces male gametes (sperm). Found in many types of algae.
Produces and contains the egg cell. Found in many types of algae.
