List 3 things you already know about the male reproductive system.

2. The male reproductive system
Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions New Words: Penis, urethra, seminal vesicle, prostate gland, testes, epididymus.
The male reproductive system
Three main functions:
To produce gametes (the sperm cells)
To produce hormones (testosterone)
To deposit the sperm cells it produces inside the female.

3. Scrotum Divided sac of skin outside the abdomen
Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions New Words: Testes, scrotum, sperm
Scrotum
Divided sac of skin outside the abdomen
Maintains testes at 3°C lower than normal body temperature to protect sperm viability

4. Testes Function as sperm-forming factories
Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions New Words: testes, testosterone
Testes
Function as sperm-forming factories
It produces hormones such as testosterone

5. Hormones Testosterone is the hormone that
Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions New Words: Testosterone, testes, secondary sex characteristics
Hormones
Testosterone is the hormone that
1. stimulates the production of sperm
2. develops secondary sex characteristics
deeper voices,
bigger muscles,
body and facial hair

6. Epididymis Functions to mature and store sperm cells (64-72 days)
Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions New Words: epididymus, sperm, vas deferens
Epididymis
Functions to mature and store sperm cells (64-72 days)
Expels sperm with the contraction of muscles in the epididymis walls to the vas deferens

7. Sperm Sperm: has head (genetic) with acrosome,
Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions New Words: sperm, acrosome, flagellum
Sperm
Sperm: has
head (genetic) with acrosome,
midpiece (metabolic) containing mitochondria,
tail (locomotor) which is a flagellum
Whole process of sperm formation takes days, ml ejaculate, million sperm/ml

8. Spermatogenesis Spermatogenesis takes 64 to 72 days
Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions New Words: spermatogenesis, meiosis
Spermatogenesis
Spermatogenesis takes 64 to 72 days

9. Seminal Vesicles Located at the base of the bladder
Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions New Words: seminal vesicles, fructose, semen
Seminal Vesicles
Located at the base of the bladder
Produces a thick, yellowish secretion (60% of semen) that contains:
Fructose (sugar)
Vitamin C
Substances that nourish and activate sperm

10. Prostate Gland Encircles the upper part of the urethra
Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions
Key words: prostate gland, urethra ,epididymus, sperm J
Prostate Gland
Encircles the upper part of the urethra
Secretes a milky fluid
Helps to activate sperm
Enters the urethra through several small ducts

11. Semen Mixture of sperm and accessory gland secretions
Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions
Key words: sperm, semen, fructose, acid pH, basic pH, alkalinity
Semen
Mixture of sperm and accessory gland secretions
Advantages of accessory gland secretions
Fructose provides energy for sperm cells
Alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidic environment of vagina
Elements of semen enhance sperm motility

12. Objective: Understand the major structures of the male reproductive system and explain the functions
Key words: urethra, urinary bladder, seminal vesicle, prostate gland
Urethra
Extends from the base of the urinary bladder to the tip of the penis
Carries both urine and sperm
Sperm enters from the ejaculatory duct
