Can someone list all the parts of the male reproductive system and all the parts of the female reproductive system?

This is a question on a test I'm going to have to take and I want to make sure I know all of them.

Here are the pathways which are the most important to know. If your test is for introductory college or below this info should be fine.

Female: Eggs mature in the follicles of the ovary and are released upon follicle bursting into the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube is simply a tube that carries the egg to the uterus. Additionally the fallopian tube is also the most common place where fertilization will occur. The fallopian tube is also known as the oviduct. The egg will travel down the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it will implant into the uterine wall, called the endometrium, if the egg is fertilized. If the egg is not fertilized the egg will travel pass the cervix to the vagina where it will be shed.

The male reproductive system begins with the seminiferous tubules in the testes into which the mature sperm will be released. (Actually the last steps of maturation occur in the seminiferous tubules, but for simplicity it is told the way I have just explained it.) Next the mature sperm will travel to the epididymidis. The sperm will the travel through the vas deferens to the ejaculatory duct. Here the sperm will pass the accesorry glands, including the cowper's gland, which release fluids that assist in sperm excretion. After the ejaculatory duct the sperm will travel through the urethra and will then finally be released from the penis.

Parts of male reproductive system : testes,epididymis,sperm duct or vas deference,and other associated glands such as seminal vesicle,prostate glands and penis.
Parts of female reproductive system : ovaries,fallopian tube,uterus,cervix,vagina.(I don't know it include mammary glands or not).
