Seatwork:

 List down changes that you

experience in your body as
you reach puberty.
Puberty is the time in life when a boy or girl
becomes sexually mature. It is a process that
usually happens between ages 10 and 14 for
girls and ages 12 and 16 for boys
TESTOSTERONE

 What is the hormone

in males that is
responsible for these
changes?
What the Male Reproductive
System Does?

 Main function is to
produce sperm and
deliver it to the female
reproductive system
Male Puberty

 Starts at around age 12-13

 Hormonal changes stimulate an
increase in growth rate, alterations
in behavior, enlargement of the
genitals, and the appearance of
secondary sexual characteristics
such as facial hair.
Male Puberty

 Because boys begin their

final growth spurt later than
girls, they have a longer
period of steady growth and
usually attain a greater adult
height.
Male Puberty
 Changes that occur:
 Some breast
 Growth spurt occurs
enlargement may
 Acne may appear occur
 Larynx enlarges,  Muscles develop
voice deepens  Pubic hair appears
 Facial hair appears  External genitals
 Shoulders broaden enlarge
 Underarm hair  Sperm production
appears begins
 Perspiration increases  First ejaculation
How does the male
reproductive system
function?
Sperm
 Sex cells that are
produced in the testes
and are used to
fertilize the egg
 Sperm swim at the
rate of 1-4mm per
minute or 60-240mm
per hour
 50,000 sperm are
produced each
MINUTE in mature
men
Survival – can live 24-72 hours
after ejaculation into the female
 can be stored for 18 hours to 10
days in the male reproductive tract
before losing its ability to fertilize
an egg
Testosterone
 The male sex hormone that influences
sperm production
 During puberty, testosterone causes
facial and body hair to grow, shoulders to
broaden and voice to deepen
Male Reproductive
System
Hormones:
 Gonadotropin-Stimulating Hormone
(GnRH) from Hypothalamus
 Pituitary (Anterior)
A) LH – stimulates testosterone
production
B) FSH – stimulates
spermatogenesis

PARTS OF THE MALE
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Testicles (testes)
 Male reproductive
organ that makes
sperm and
testerone
 Male begin
producing 100+
million sperm a
day once they
reach puberty
Descent of the Testes
Ovoid structures about 5 cm
long and 3 cm wide.
Located within the scrotal
sac (scrotum)
During fetal development
they are near the kidneys
and slowly move inferiorly in
the abdominal cavity.
During the 7th month they
descend through the inguinal
canals
 INSIDE THE
TESTIS (sing)
TESTES (plural)
are the
seminiferous
tubules
 Seminiferous Tubules
 Tightly coiled
tubes inside the
testes where
sperm are
made
44
Scrotum
 The skin covered sac
that the testes rest in
 Muscles of the scrotum
help with temperature
control
 Sperm develop best
several degrees below
98.6
 Its external positioning
keeps the testes 3C
lower than core body
temperature
 Epididymis
 A tightly coiled tube
where sperm mature
as they pass through
 Each epididymis is a
tube about 20 feet
long, which is tightly
 .
coiled and bunched
into a length of just 2
inches
Vas Deferens
 The next portion
of a hollow tube
that sperm pass
through
 The vas deferens
can be up to 12
inches long
Vasectomy
 The severing and tying off of the vas
deferens
 Once the vas deferens is severed, sperm
will not be able to be ejaculated out of the
penis
Accessory Glands:
Seminal Vesicles
 Lie on the posterior wall of the bladder
and secrete 60% of the volume of
semen
 Seminal fluid:
 Fructose: provides energy for the sperm.
 Fibrinogen: helps turn semen into a bolus that
can be readily propelled into the vagina.
 Prostaglandins: decrease cervical mucus
viscosity and stimulate reverse peristalsis of the
uterus.
49
characteristics of semen
A) pH – 7.2 to 7.6
B) Normal discharge – 2-6ml per
ejaculation
1) average = 2.75ml
C) Sperm count is roughly 50 to 130
million/ml
1) average = 66 million/ml (180
million total)
Seminal Vesicles
Prostate Gland
 Encircles the urethra near the bladder
 About the size of a walnut
 Secretes a thin, milky fluid that protects
the sperm from acid in the female
reproductive system
 Bulbourethral gland
(Cowper’s Gland)
 Found near urethra
below the prostate

 Prior to ejaculation
this gland secretes
a clear fluid that
protects the sperm
from acid in the
male urethra
Bladder
 A triangular sac that stores urine before it
is excreted out of the body
Sphincter Valve
 A small piece of skin, a muscle that holds
back urine or semen so that both do not
come out of the body at the same time
  Urine passes
Urethra through the urethra,
a tube that starts at
the bladder and
ends at the opening
of the penis
 Sperm also pass
through the urethra
during ejaculation
but not at the same
time as urine is
carried
Penis  The external male
reproductive organ that
is made up of spongy
tissue that has blood
flow going through it
 The penis removes
urine from the bladder
and also delivers sperm
to the female
reproductive system
 The glans is the
sensitive nerve ending
near the tip of the penis
58
Foreskin
 A piece of skin that partially covers the tip
of the penis at birth

 Circumcision is the
removal of the
foreskin from the tip
of the penis
Erection
 When the penis becomes hard and firm
 The blood vessels in the penis fill with
blood
 The penis must be erect in order for
ejaculation to occur
Ejaculation

 When sperm are released from the penis

 One ejaculation contains 40-300 million
sperm
 It is normal for a male to ejaculate during
sleep, this is called nocturnal emissions
or “wet dreams”

Think tank!

 What is the most

important organ of the
male reproductive
system? Why?
How the Male Reproductive
System Works
 Do you think it is possible for
a person to reproduce
without the testis? With one
testis? Explain your answer
on the basis of its function.
Prostate Exam
 An examination that is performed to
identify any irregularities in the
prostate
 Exams help in early detection of
prostate cancer
 For every 3 men diagnosed with
cancer this year 1 will have prostate
cancer.
Testicular Exam
 A self exam that men should perform
once per month once they have reached
puberty to detect any lumps, swelling,
pain, or discomfort in the scrotum or
abdomen
