Reproduction system

• Fertilization takes place in the female fallopian tube.
• Sperm cells are produced by spermatogenesis in the testes.
• Testosterone is secreted by Leydig's cells in the interstitial tissue between the tubules.
• The male reproductive organs include the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands, penis, scrotum, and accessory ducts.
• Testosterone


  A hormone produced by Leydig's cells in the interstitial tissue between the seminiferous tubules in the testes. It plays a key role in the development and maintenance of male sexual characteristics.
• Testes


  The primary male reproductive organ where sperm are produced. They are located outside the body in the scrotum.
• Vas deferens


  A long tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
• Epididymis


  A coiled tube that lies on the surface of the testis. It stores and transports sperm from the testis to the vas deferens.
• Prostate gland


  A small gland that surrounds the urethra. It produces a fluid that makes up part of semen and helps sperm move.
• Seminal vesicles


  Glands that produce a fluid that makes up most of the volume of semen. This fluid nourishes the sperm and helps it survive.
• Penis


  The organ that delivers semen to the female reproductive system. It contains the urethra, which carries both urine and semen out of the body.
• Bulbourethral glands


  Two pea-sized glands that produce a slippery, alkaline fluid that lubricates the urethra and neutralizes any acidity from urine.
• Scrotum


  The sac that contains the testes. It helps regulate the temperature of the testes, keeping them slightly cooler than the rest of the body.
• Accessory ducts


  The tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the urethra. They include the vas deferens, the ejaculatory duct, and the urethra itself.
