1 Male Reproductive System

2 The Male Reproductive System
The functions of the male reproductive system are to produce sex hormones, produce and store sperm, and deliver sperm to the female reproductive system

3 External Organs Penis Scrotum
The male sex organ for reproduction and delivery of urination and sperm Scrotum a sac that holds the testes Protects sperm by Keeping testes at a temp slightly below normal body temp (normal=98.6)

4 Internal Organs Testicles Also known as testes
Two glands that produce sperm (reproduce cells) and testosterone (sex hormone that affects the production of sperm and signals physical changes at puberty, such as growth of facial hair) located in the scrotum

5 Sperm Tadpole like with a nucleus and a tail
2-6 weeks to mature in the epididymis Combines with fluid from other organs to produce semen/seminal fluid 100 million are produced a day

6 Epididymis Vas Deferens Urethra
A coiled tube, located at the outer surface of the of testes. Stores sperm temporarily Sperm matures here Vas Deferens Tube connecting the epididymis to the urethra. Sperm travels through the Vas Deferens to the seminal vesicles Semen is produced in the seminal vesicles Urethra a tube that extends from the bladder through the penis to the outside of the body. It carries urine and sperm, but not at the same time

7 The Journey of Sperm The testes are where sperm are manufactured
Epididymis receives immature sperm from the testes and stores it several days Sperm then travels through the Vas Deferens to the seminal vesicles where semen is produced

8 The Journey of Sperm The Prostate gland adds fluids that protects sperm. Sperm passes through the prostate gland and empties into the urethra Sperm is released through Ejaculation. This occurs when the penis is in an erect state
