Testes:
* Function: Produce sperm and testosterone.
* Description: Two oval-shaped organs located in the scrotum, responsible for spermatogenesis (sperm production) and the production of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone.
Epididymis:
* Function: Stores and matures sperm.
* Description: A coiled tube located on the back of each testis, where sperm mature and are stored for later release.
Vas Deferens:
* Function: Transports sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
* Description: A long, muscular tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
Seminal Vesicles:
* Function: Produce a fluid that nourishes and protects sperm.
* Description: Two small glands that secrete a fluid rich in fructose, which provides energy for sperm, and prostaglandins, which help sperm motility.
Prostate Gland:
* Function: Produces a milky fluid that contributes to semen.
* Description: A walnut-sized gland that surrounds the urethra, producing a milky fluid that helps activate sperm and contributes to the volume of semen.
Bulbourethral Glands (Cowper's Glands):
* Function: Secrete a clear, mucus-like fluid that lubricates the urethra and neutralizes any remaining acidity from urine.
* Description: Two small glands located near the base of the penis, producing a lubricating fluid that helps protect sperm during ejaculation.
Penis:
* Function: Delivers sperm to the female reproductive system.
* Description: The external organ involved in sexual intercourse. The penis consists of erectile tissue that fills with blood during arousal, allowing for penetration.
Scrotum:
* Function: Protects and regulates the temperature of the testes.
* Description: A pouch of skin that hangs below the penis, containing the testes. The scrotum regulates the temperature of the testes, which is essential for optimal sperm production.
