Male Reproductive Anatomy & Physiology External Genitals Scrotum- protects and regulates temperature of testes and sperm. Penis- male sex organ, made of erectile tissue, deposits semen.
Male Reproductive Anatomy & Physiology Internal Genitals Testes- produce male sex hormone (testosterone) & sperm. Epididymis- sperm are stored here days and mature. Vas Deferens- passage for sperm to travel (Vasectomy-cutting or clamping of Vas Deferens) Urethra- passageway for both urine and semen.
Male Reproductive Anatomy & Physiology Internal (continued) -3 glands that make semen: Seminal Vesicle- secretes fluid to nourish sperm. Prostate Gland- #1 site of cancer in men over 50, secretes fluid to help sperm travel. Cowper’s Gland- pea shaped gland that cleanses the urethra prior to ejaculation.
Semen/Sperm (What’s the Difference?) Semen- combination of nourishing fluid and sperm, vehicle for sperm to travel. Sperm- male sex cell, contains ½ of instructions needed for development (DNA). Where does the other ½ come from?
MALE REP. SYSTEM Castration- removal of testes (cancer) Vasectomy- cutting or clamping of vas deferens Hernia- part of the intestine protrudes into scrotum through a weakness in abdominal wall
