10. Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Testes produce mature spermatozoa Sperm enter epididymus Elongated tubule with head, body and tail regions Monitors and adjusts fluid in seminiferous tubules Stores and protects spermatozoa Facilitates functional maturation of spermatozoa Male reproductive tract

12. Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Begins at epididymus Passes through inguinal canal Enlarges to form ampulla Ejaculatory duct at base of seminal vesicle and ampulla Empties into urethra Ductus deferens AKA vas deferens

13. Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Urinary bladder to tip of penis Three regions Prostatic Membranous Penile Urethra

14. Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Seminal vesicles Active secretory gland Contributes ~60% total volume of semen Secretions contain fructose, prostaglandins, fibrinogen Accessory glands

15. Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Prostate gland Secretes slightly acidic prostate fluid Bulbourethral glands Secrete alkaline mucus with lubricating properties Accessory glands

17. Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Typical ejaculate = 2-5 ml fluid Contains between 20 – 100 million spermatozoa per ml Seminal fluid A distinct ionic and nutritive glandular secretion Contents of Semen

18. Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Male external genitalia consist of the scrotum and the penis Skin overlying penis resembles scrotum Penis Contains three masses of erectile tissue 2 corpora cavernosa beneath fascia 1 corpus spongiosum surrounding urethra Dilation of erectile tissue produces erection External genitalia

20. Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) Targets sustentacular cells to promote spermatogenesis LH (leutinizing hormone) Causes secretion of testosterone and other androgens GnRH (Gonadotropin releasing hormone) Testosterone Most important androgen Hormones and male reproductive function Animation: Male Reprroductive System Flythrough PLAY
