Male Reproductive Primary Organs
Testicles = male gonads Small ovoid glands Responsible for production of sperm Seminiferous tubules Responsible for secretion of testosterone Scrotum Sac located posterior to the penis Suspended from the perineum Houses the testicles Copyright © 2003 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

Male Reproductive Accessory Organs
Epididymis Tightly coiled tubule that resembles a comma Sperm mature in the epididymis, becoming fertile and motile Mature sperm are stored in lower portion of epididymis Copyright © 2003 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
6
Male Reproductive Accessory Organs (continued)
Vas Deferens Also called the ductus deferens Straight tube continuous with the epididymis Enlarges to form an sacklike dilation (ampulla) near the prostate gland Merges with the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct Copyright © 2003 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

9
Male Reproductive Accessory Organs (continued)
Prostate Gland Lies just below the urinary bladder Surrounds the base of the urethra as it leaves the bladder Transports thin, milky colored, alkaline secretions that enhance the motility of the sperm Secretion also helps neutralize the secretions within the vagina Muscular action of gland aids in expelling semen from the body Copyright © 2003 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

10
Male Reproductive Accessory Organs (continued)
Urethra Serves both the urinary system and the male reproductive system Transports urine from the bladder and semen when ejaculated, to the outside of the body Bulbourethral Glands (Cowper’s Glands) Secrete alkaline, mucous-like fluid that provides lubrication during sexual intercourse Copyright © 2003 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

11
Male Reproductive Accessory Organs (continued)
Penis Male organ of copulation Tip of penis called the glans penis Prepuce or Foreskin Loose, retractable fold of skin that covers the glans penis Urethra extends the length of the penis and ends as an opening at the tip of the glans penis Opening is called the urinary meatus Copyright © 2003 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
