• To regulate male sexual characteristics &
produce and supply spermatozoa (sperm)
Components

Bulbourethral glands
Penis
Definition
• Scrotum- Sac that
contains male testes
• Testes- Male gonads
that produce sperm
• Seminiferous TubulesTubes within the testes
• Leydig Cells- Testes cells
that produce TTST
• Testosterone- Hormone
produced by testes
responsible for the
development of male
sexual characteristics
• Sertoli Cells-Testes cells
that produce ABP
• Androgen Binding
Protein- A protein that
binds to TTST to
promote the production
of sperm
Definition
• Spermatozoa- Male
gametes/ sperm cells
• Epididymides- Coiled
organs of the testes
where sperm mature
• Vas deferens- Tube that
carries sperm from
epididymis to the
ejaculatory duct
• Seminal vesicle- Glands
that secret alkaline fluid
for semen
• Semen- Fuild mixture
containing sperm and
secretions
• Urethra- Organ that
carries urine from the
bladder to outside of the
body
Definition
• Prostate gland- A gland
at the first inch of the
male urethra that
secretes alkaline fluid to
maintain sperm mobility
• Bulbourethral glandGland on both sides of
the prostate gland that
produces mucous
secretions for ejaculation
• Penis- Male organ for
