zlib_text: In males, spermatogenesis occurring in seminiferous
  tubules of the testes produces sperm that mature in the
  epididymides and may be stored in the vasa deferentia
  before entering the urethra, along with secretions pro-
  duced by seminal vesicles, the prostate gland, and bul-
  bourethral glands. Semen is ejaculated during male
  orgasm, when the penis is erect.
  Hormonal regulation, involving secretions from the
  hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary, and the testes, main-
  tains testosterone produced by the interstitial cells of
  the testes at a fairly constant level.
  In females, an egg produced by an ovary enters an
  oviduct, which leads to the uterus. The uterus opens
  into the vagina. The external genital area includes the vagi-
  nal opening, the clitoris, the labia minora, and the labia
  majora.
  In the nonpregnant female, the ovarian and uter-
  ine cycles, are under hormonal control of the hypothal-
  amus, anterior pituitary, and the female sex hormones
  estrogen and progesterone.
