Lesson 13.

The Male Reproductive


System
Objective
At the end describe the male
of this 1 reproductive system.
lesson, you
should be
able to:
The male reproductive system is specialized for
the production of sperm cells and their
deposition into the female reproductive tract.
Learn about it!

The Male Reproductive System


● The production, development, and maturation of
sperm cells happens within the male reproductive
system.

● The primary sex hormone of male animals is known


as testosterone, and it is produced by the testes.

● Another function of the male reproductive system of


humans is to safely and properly deposit the sperm
cells into the female.
The male reproductive system has a series of
structures that serve to perform these functions
efficiently.
Learn about it!

Components: Testes
● Each male reproductive
system has two testes.
● Their function is to
produce male sex cells
called sperm cells.
● The sperm cells develop
Seminiferous tubule
inside the seminiferous
tubules.
Learn about it!

Components: Scrotum
● The scrotum is a
bag of skin that
contains the testes.

● It is a reproductive
structure that is
located under the
penis.
The scrotum
Learn about it!

Components: Scrotum
● Within the scrotum are
muscles known as the
dartos and cremaster
muscles.

● These play important


roles in maintaining the
temperature of the
scrotum. The scrotum
Learn about it!

Components: Epididymis
● Mature sperm 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. The male reproductive system
Learn about it!

Components: Vas Deferens and


Urethra
● During ejaculation, sperm
moves from the epididymis,
into a tube called the vas
deferens, into another
tube known as the
urethra, and out of the
body.

Vasectomy
● The process of vasectomy is
a method of birth control that
deals with cutting or blocking
the tube of the vas deferens.

● This prevents sperm cells


from being transported out of
the body.
Vasectomy

Components: Penis
● The penis is the external
part of the male reproductive
system.

● It is a tube-shaped organ that


contains the urethra, which
allows it to pass the urine
and semen out of the body.

Circumcision
● Many cultures practice a
medical process known as
circumcision.

● This process involves the


partial or complete
removal of the prepuce in
Circumcision
order to expose the glans
penis.
Learn about it!

Accessory Glands
● The male reproductive system also has a series of
organs known as the accessory glands.

● These glands secrete substances that aid in the


nourishment of sperm and contribute to higher
chances of fertilization.

● Examples of these are the seminal glands,


bulbourethral glands, and the prostate glands.
Key Points

The male reproductive system is specialized for


1 the production of sperm cells.

The male reproductive system is composed of the


2 testes, scrotum, urethra, penis, sperm ducts,
and accessory glands.

The gonads of the male reproductive system are


3 the testes. Each male reproductive system has
two testes.

2. The exit point for urine and sperm are different.
3. The sperm ducts include the seminal vesicles and the
vas deferens.
4. Prostate fluid neutralizes acidity.
5. The scrotum is an internal organ.
