reproductive organ
Body's procreation machinery
A reproductive organ is a body part involved in sexual reproduction—the gonads that produce sex cells (ovaries, testes) and the structures that deliver or receive them (uterus, penis, vagina).
The term appears in biological and medical contexts: The reproductive organs develop during puberty.
In euphemistic usage, it substitutes for more direct anatomical terms.
