5. Male Reproductive System

6. Male Reproductive System Functions  Produce and maintain sperm  Introduce sperm into the female reproductive tract to fertilize the female ovum  Secretes certain hormones necessary for the maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics in the male

7. Penis  Erectile tissue covered with skin  Contains:  urethra for urination  ducts for secretion of seminal fluid (semen)  semen  mixture of the secretions of the testes, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands  Discharged from the male urethra during orgasm

8. Penis  glans penis  bulging structure at the distal end of the penis  prepuce  foreskin; loose casing covering the glans penis  removed by circumcision (continued)

9. Scrotum  A bag; skin-covered pouch in the groin that is divided into two sacs, each containing a testis and epididymis  testis (testicle)  one of two male reproductive glands  located in the scrotum  produces sperm and the male hormone testosterone

10. Scrotum  sperm  male gamete or sex cell produced in the testes  unites with the ovum in the female to produce offspring  epididymis — coiled duct on top and at the side of the testis that stores sperm before emission  vas deferens  duct that caries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct (continued)

11. Scrotum  seminal vesicle  one of two sacs connected to the vas deferens  secretes an alkaline substance into the semen to enable the sperm to live longer  ejaculatory duct  duct formed by the union of the vas deferens with the duct of the seminal vesicle  its fluid is carried into the urethra (continued)

12. Testes and Appendages

13. Cryptorchism

14. Prostate  Trilobular gland that encircles the urethra  Located just below the bladder  Secretes an alkaline fluid into the semen

15. Normal Prostate

16. Hypertrophic Prostate

17. Vasectomy
