MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

Penis – (Glans Penis) Sex organ Erectile Tissue – 3 cylindrical chambers – 2 cavernous & 1 spongy body – during stimulation = vasocongestion takes place Foreskin – surrounds head of penis Corona – rim of the head – contains nerve endings Scrotum - sac holding testes – temp reg. Gonads – testicles – male sex glands – produce testosterone and sperm Seminiferous tubules – structures in testes were sex cell produced Epididymis – on back half of testes – stores sperm Urethra – tube that extends from bladder – joins w/ vas deferens Seminal Vesicle – releases clear, alkaline fluid – nourishes sperm w/ fructose – adds to mobility Prostate Gland – alkaline fluid – protects from acidic areas in urethra & vagina

MALE Cowpers Gland –(bulbourethral gland) lubricates urethra w/ clear viscous mucus Semen – ejaculated fluid - contains Sem V, Prostate, Cowper

Male Reproductive System

SPERM Acrosome – cap structure that covers the head – contains enzymes that help sperm locate and penetrate ova membrane Head – contains genetic material from male – 23 chromosomes Mitochondria – midpiece – helps supply energy – converts fructose from Sem. Ves Tail - movement -
