Male Reproductive System

• The production, development, and maturation of sperm cells happens within the male reproductive system. that this process is known as gametogenesis
• type of gametogenesis that occurs in male organisms is known as

  spermatogenesis.
• The primary sex hormone of male animals is known as testosterone
• Testosterone is produces by Testes
• Testosterone is responsible for the changes that occur

  during puberty, as well as the signaling that is necessary in order to trigger

  spermatogenesis.
• Male reproductive system - safely and properly deposit the sperm cells into the female reproductive tract.
• The gonads of the male reproductive system are the testes .
• Each male reproductive system has two testes.
• The testes’ function is to

  produce male sex cells called

  sperm cells
• The sperm cells develop inside

  the testes in a series of tubes

  known as the seminiferous tubules.
• Testes - are also responsible for producing male sex hormones such as testosterone.
• The seminiferous tubules are structures that are coiled inside the testes, and this is where sperm is produced and where they

  mature
• The scrotum is a bag of skin

  that contains the testes; located under the penis
• Within the scrotum are

  muscles known as the dartos

  and cremaster muscles.
• Mature sperms are later on stored in a tube beside the testes known as the epididymis.
• The sperm cells are stored until they are released from the body

  through a process known as ejaculation .
• Ejaculation forcefully expels sperm and semen from the male body into the female’s vagina during sexual intercourse.
• During ejaculation, sperm moves from the epididymis, into a tube called the vas deferens, and into another tube known as the urethra, and out of the body.
• vasectomy is a method

  of birth control that deals with cutting

  or blocking the tube of the vas deferens.
• The prostate gland secretes the prostate fluid , which neutralizes the acidic conditions of the vagina.
• The urethra is the tube that transports and discharges urine and semen outside

  the body.
• The penis is the external part of the male reproductive system.
• The penis is a tube-shaped

  organ that contains the urethra, which allows it to pass the urine and semen out of

  the body.
• The glans penis , also known as the head of the penis, is a sensitive structure at the end of the organ.
• The glans penis is covered

  by an excess skin known as the prepuce , which protects the glans.
• Many cultures practice a

  medical process known as

  circumcision.
• circumcision. This process

  involves the partial or

  complete removal of the

  prepuce in order to expose

  the glans penis.
• The male reproductive system is composed of the testes, scrotum, urethra, penis, sperm ducts , and accessory glands.
