Identify the parts and functions of the male reproduction tract.
1.Testicles Site of sperm production and testosterone synthesis
 Sperm contain ½ of genetic makeup
2. Scrotum Protects testes and regulates temperature
 4 or 5 degrees below body temp is needed for spermatogenesis
(growth and maturation of sperm)
3. Epididymis Sperm storage and maturation
4. Vas Deferans Transports sperm from epididymis to urethra
5. Urethra tube inside of penis transports sperm or urine to exterior
6. Penis organ of copulation
7. Seminal Vesicles
8. Prostate
9.Cowpers Gland
 Function:
 Provide extra fluid for the transport of the sperm from the testes to the
vagina
 Adds volume.
 Provides nutrients for the sperm.
 Cleans and flushes out the urinary tract.
 In some species, it makes a "plug" to hold the semen in the vagina
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT
Identify the parts and functions of the male reproduction tract.
1. Vulva: External opening of reproduction system
2. Urethra
3. Bladder
4. Cervix Connects uterus and vagina
 Serve as barrier during pregnancy
5. Vagina Female organ of copulation at mating
 Opening of bladder
6. Uterus: Site of embryonic development during gestation
7. Uterine Horn
8. Oviduct Site of fertilization
 Transport embryos to uterus
9. Ovary: Produce egg
 Egg contains ½ of genetic makeup
10. Rectum
 Cervix Vagina Vulva External opening of reproductive system
