Eggs are produced by the ovaries in a female. New life begins when a male sex cell (sperm) fertilizes a female egg (ovum) within the female reproductive system. The main male sex organs are the penis and the testicles which produce semen and sperm. The sperms are produced by the testes of a male.

Many non-living substances such as fluids, hormones, and pheromones are also important accessories to the reproductive system.
