5. Male Reproductive System Functions
Produce and maintain sperm
Introduce sperm into the female reproductive tract to fertilize the female ovum

A bag; skin-covered pouch in the groin that is divided into two sacs, each containing a testis and epididymis
testis (testicle)
produces sperm and the male hormone testosterone
sperm
sex cell produced in the testes
unites with ovum to produce offspring
epididymis — coiled duct on top and at the side of the testis that stores sperm before emission
