WHAT DOES THE
MALE
REPRODUCTIVE
The male reproductive system is composed of
SYSTEM
several organs. DO?
It is responsible for producing
sperm cells and hormones. A sperm cell is
important to fertile an egg cell. Hormones are
responsible for the development of adult
male characteristics.
Functions of the Male Reproductive System
The male reproductive system performs the
following functions:
• Produces, maintains, and transports sperm
(the male reproductive cells) and
protective fluid (semen)
• Discharges sperm during sexual
intercourse.
• Produces and secretes male sex hormones
responsible for maintaining the male
Testosterone also helps with what are called
secondary sex characteristics. These include
the following:
• Hair on your genitals, face, and armpits
• Muscle development
• Deepening of your voice and other vocal
changes
• Growth spurts that increase your height
WHAT DO YOU
THINK IS THE
MOST
INTERESTING
ABOUT
Organisms reproduce to perpetuate their
kind. They produce sexually or asexually. In
complex animals, reproduction is carried out
through sexual means. This mode of
reproduction involves the union of gametes.
In males, these gametes are called
spermatozoa or sperm cells. In females, these
are called ova or egg cells.
WHAT MAKES MALE
AND FEMALE
REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM SIMILAR?
Both have primary and accessory
reproductive organs. The primary organs are
involved in the production of germ cells or
sex cells and in the manufacture of
hormones. These organs are also referred to
as gonads or sex glands. The male gonads
are the testes, while the female gonards are
the ovaries.
The accessory organs include the series of
ducts that transport the germ cells and the
various exocrine glands. These accessory
organs are responsible for nourishing and
transporting gametes to the different parts of
the reproductive system.

PARTS AND
FUNCTIONS
OF THE MALE
REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
PENIS
It is the external
male organ with a
tip called glans. It is
covered with
foreskin that may
be removed
through
circumcision and
acts as a conduit
for urine and semen
PENIS
Your penis has three
parts: the root,
which attaches to
the wall of the
abdomen; the body,
or shaft; and the
glans, which is the
cone-shaped part at
the end of your
penis.
PENIS
The body of your
penis is cylindrical
in shape and
consists of three
circular shaped
chambers. These
chambers are made
up of special,
spongelike tissue.
This tissue contains
thousands of large
PENIS
As the penis fills
with blood, it
becomes rigid and
erect, which allows
for penetration
during sexual
intercourse. The
skin of the penis is
loose and elastic to
allow for changes in
penis size during an
PENIS
Semen, which
contains sperm
(reproductive cells),
is expelled
(ejaculated)
through the end of
your penis when
you reach sexual
climax (orgasm).
When your penis is
erect, the flow of
SCROT
UM
It is a pair of pouch-
like sacs that
supports the testes.
It also controls its
temperature
because the testes
must be slightly
cooler than the
body to produce
sperm cells.
SCROT
UM
The scrotum acts as
a "climate control
system" for your
testes. For normal
sperm
development, the
testes must be at a
temperature
slightly cooler than
body temperature.
SCROT
UM
Special muscles in
the wall of your
scrotum allow it to
contract and relax,
moving the testicles
closer to your body
for warmth or
farther away from
the body to cool
their temperature.
TESTICL
ES
These are the glands
that produce sperm
cells and male sex
hormones called
testosterone. The
testes protrude
outside the body
because the
temperature inside the
main body cavity is
warmer and not

PARTS AND
FUNCTIONS
OF THE MALE
REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
EPIDIDYM
IS
It is a narrow-coiled
tube that stores
immature sperm
cells until they
mature and where
they are
temporarily stored
before their release.
EPIDIDYM
IS
It also is the job of
the epididymis to
bring the sperm to
maturity, since the
sperm that emerge
from the testes are
immature and
incapable of
fertilization. During
sexual arousal,
URET
HRA
It is the
passageway of
both urine from the
urinary bladder
and semen from
the glands.
URET
HRA
The vas deferens
transports mature
sperm to the
urethra, the tube
that carries pee or
sperm to outside of
your body, in
preparation for
ejaculation.
SEMINAL
VESICLES
These are sac-like
pouches attached to
the vas deferens. It
produces a sugar-rich
fluid that provides
energy to sperm cells'
motility.
VAS
It DEFEREN
is a long, muscular
S
tube that serves as
passageway of the
sperm cells released
from the testes. It also
connects the testes to
the seminal vesicle and
urethra.
COWPER’S
GLAND
It is also called as the
bulbourethral gland, one
of the two pea-sized
organs found beneath the
prostate gland. It is
responsible in releasing
fluid that flushes out
foreign matter and
neutralizes the acidic
urine in the urethra.
PROSTATE
It isGLAND
a walnut-sized
gland located
between the bladder
and the penis. It
secretes fluid that
nourishes and
protects the sperm.
PROSTATE
GLAND
The urethra, which
carries the ejaculate
to be expelled during
orgasm, runs through
the center of the
prostate gland. Your
prostate also converts
some of your
testosterone into
another hormone,
PROSTATE
GLAND
When you're an adult,
for example, it's
involved in both
prostate growth and
male pattern
baldness.
GLANS
It is the tip of the penis.
