| Acrosomal reaction | The reaction allowing the binding and the fusion of opposite gametes. | |
| Capacitation | Biochemical process of structural and functional changes in sperm cell essential for reaching its full fertilization capacity. | |
| Ejaculation | Discharge of the semen (usually containing sperm) from the male reproductory tract, normally accompanied by orgasm. | |
| Embryo cell cleavage | The division of cells in the early embryo with no significant growth that produces a cluster of cells that is the same size as the original zygote. | |
| Embryogenesis | The process by which the embryo forms and develops. | |
| Endometrial receptivity | Period when the womb is receptive for implantation of the free-lying blastocyst. | |
| Erection | The physiological process by which a penis becomes erect by being engorged with blood. | |
| Fertilization | The fusion of an ovum with a sperm to initiate the development of a new individual organism. | |
| Fetal development | The process in which a human embryo or fetus gestates during pregnancy, from fertilization until birth. | |
| Folliculogenesis | Development of ovarian follicles from primordial to tertiary under the stimulation of gonadotropins. | |
| Implantation | The very early stage of pregnancy at which the embryo adheres to the wall of the uterus. | |
| Menstrual cycle | Periodical changes of the endometrium, externally presenting as menstruation, that are enabling pregnancy in fertile women. | |
| Menstruation | The periodic discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the inner lining of the uterus through the vagina. | |
| Oogenesis | The process of the maturation of the female gametes through the meiotic division. | |
| Orgasm | The sudden discharge of accumulated sexual excitement during the sexual response cycle. | |
| Ovulation | The release of egg(s) from the ovaries. | |
| Sperm hyperactivation | The process resulting in specific behaviour of a sperm cell ensuring its increased speed and force in movement. | |
| Spermatogenesis | Process in which spermatozoa are produced from male primordial germ cells in testicles by way of mitosis and meiosis. |
