MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

1. MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

2. The male reproductive system is different from the female reproductive system in many ways. For instance, the main function of the male reproductive system is to produce and transport sperm and semen into the vagina, which is necessary for reproduction. It is also responsible for the production and secretion of the male sex hormones called testosterone, which is responsible for the changes that occur in the male body during puberty.

3. MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM The male reproductive system has external and internal parts. Its external parts include the penis, scrotum, and testis (pl. testes). On the other hand, its internal parts include the epididymis, vas deferens, urethra, and the male reproductive glands, which include seminal vesicles, prostate gland and Cowper's glands. These parts are important for the reproduction process as males reach adolescence and adulthood.

4. EXTERNAL PARTS OF THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

5. The external structure of the male reproductive system includes the penis, scrotum, and testes.

6. PENIS The penis is the passageway of sperm, semen, and urine out of the male system. It is an important organ for excretion of waste and reproduction. It is also the male organ used to deliver semen to the female organ during intercourse.

7. ScROTUM The scrotum is the pouch of skin located below the penis it holds the testes. The scrotum also functions. To keep The of the temperature of the testes lower than the external body temperature . This is important to keep the sperm alive inside the male reproductive organs.

8. Testes/ Testicles Inside the scrotum are the testes or testicles. These are the primary sex organs of male. Most men have two testes, but others only develop one. The testes produce sperm and testosterone. Which are hormones responsible for production and the development of secondary male characteristics.

9. Penis, scrotum, and testes are important in the reproductive process. As mentioned, the sperm cells are produced by the testes. Spermatogenesis is the process of producing sperm. In order for normal sperm production and development to happen, the testes should maintain a lower or cooler temperature than the rest of the body. This is possible with the help of the scrotum.

10. Sperm cells are then released out of the male body through the penis. They come together with the semen. Once a healthy sperm unites with a healthy egg cell in the female body, life will be conceived and a baby will be born after nine months.
