produce sperm and hormones that govern male reproductive functions and traits
TESTES
Produce sperm or eggs (gamete)
GERM CELLS
Produces Gametes
GONADS
Cells That May Unite for Sexual Reproduction
GAMETES
- Form in the abdominal wall and descend into the scrotum before birth
- Enclosed by smooth muscle
TESTES
Proper development of sperm requires a temperature of
~95°F
secretion of substances that become part of semen
PROSTATE GLAND
dual-purpose duct, serves as CHANNEL FOR EJACULATION of sperm during sexual arousal; also for URINE EXCRETION at other times
URETHRA
one of a pair primary repro organ; packed with SPERM-PRODUCING
TESTIS
one of a pair of ducts in which SPERM COMPLETE MATURATION; the portion FARTHEST from the testis stores mature sperm
EPIDIDYMIS
one of a pair of ducts for RAPID TRANSPORT of sperm
VAS DEFERENS
one of a pair of glands that secretes FRUCTOSE & PROSTAGLANDINS, which become part of SEMEN
SEMINAL VESICLE
one of a pair of glands that SECRETE a LUBRICATING MUCUS
BULBUORETHRAL GLAND
one of a pair of sperm-conducting ducts
EJACULATORY DUCT
- Coiled ducts
- Secrete substances for the maturation of the sperm
- STORAGE OF SPERM until they leave the body
- During arousal, contraction of muscles send sperm into the vas deferentia and urethra in the penis
EPIDIDYMIS
