• male reproductive system - consists of a number sex organs that are a part of the human reproductive process
• male reproductive system - produces, stores, and releases the male gametes
• penis, scrotum - external genital organs
• testis, epididymis, vas deferens, accesory glands, seminal vesciles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands - internal genital organs
• penis - organ by which the sperm is introduced into the female
• corpus spongiosum, corpus cavernosa - erectile tissues
• corpus spongiosum - mass of spongy tissue which surrounds urethra
• corpus cavernosa - one of a pair of songe-like regions

• epididymis - tightly coiled tubes against testicles
• epididymis - acts as maturation and storage place for sperm
• vas deferens - thin tube that starts from the epididymis
• vas deferens - they transport sperm from the epididymis
• seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands - accessory glands
• seminal vesicles - sac like structures attached to the vas deferens
• prostate gland - surrounds the ejaculatory ducts at the base of the urethra
• prostate gland - responsible for making the production of semen, a liquid mixture of sperm cells, prostate fluid
• bulbourethral glands - two small glands located on the sides of the urethra
• bulbourethral glands - theses glands produce a clear, slippery fluid
• sperm - to move and carry genetic information to the egg structure
• head - the larger region of the sperm that contains DNA
• midpiece - the narrow middle part of the cell that contains mitochondria
• tail - the wavelike motion of the flagellum propels the sperm forward
• spermatogenesis - formation of sperm cells
• spermatogenesis - takes place in the seminiferous tubules
