Content

Parts of the Male Reproductive System:

1. Testes: Two oval-shaped organs that produce sperm and hormones (mainly testosterone).
2. Epididymis: A coiled tube where sperm mature and are stored.
3. Vas deferens: The duct that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
4. Seminal vesicles: Glands that produce a fluid that nourishes sperm and forms a part of semen.
5. Prostate gland: Produces a fluid that helps to protect and transport sperm.
6. Penis: The organ through which sperm is delivered; it also serves as the conduit for urine.

Functions of the Male Reproductive Organs:

• Testes: Produce sperm and hormones that regulate male characteristics.
• Epididymis: Stores and matures sperm until ejaculation.
• Vas deferens: Transports sperm during ejaculation.
• Seminal vesicles: Provide nutrients to sperm and contribute to semen volume.
• Prostate gland: Produces fluids that enhance sperm motility and viability.
• Penis: Delivers sperm to the female reproductive system during sexual intercourse.
