development)
1. Intrauterine = genetic sexuality, gonadal sexuality, structural

development
• 2. Early Childhood = Gender Identity
• 3. Childhood = Gender preference
• 4. Pre-adolescence = Gender adoption
• 5. Pubescence = Structural maturation

Gender Identification
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
• Sexuality – quality of being sexual; Male v Female
• Masculinity
• - behavioral expressions traditionally observed in males
• - EXAMPLES
• Learned Behaviors
• - behaviors taught to individuals as they grow
• - become beliefs

Penis – (Glans Penis) Sex organ
Erectile Tissue – 3 cylindrical chambers – 2 cavernous & 1 spongy body – during
stimulation = vasocongestion takes place
Foreskin – surrounds head of penis
Corona – rim of the head – contains nerve endings
Scrotum- sac holding testes – temp reg.
Gonads – testicles – male sex glands – produce testosterone and
sperm
Seminiferous tubules – structures in testes were sex cell produced
Epididymis – on back half of testes – stores sperm
Urethra – tube that extends from bladder – joins w/ vas deferens
Seminal Vesicle – releases clear, alkaline fluid – nourishes sperm
w/ fructose – adds to mobility
Prostate Gland – alkaline fluid – protects from acidic areas in
urethra & vagina
Vas Deferens- transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct
Ejaculatory Duct – tube which connects vas deferens & seminal vesicle to the
urethra
MALE
• Cowpers Gland –(bulbourethral gland) lubricates urethra w/
clear viscous mucus
• Semen – ejaculated fluid - contains Sem V, Prostate, Cowper

Male Reproductive
System
SPERM
• Acrosome – cap structure that covers the head – contains
enzymes that help sperm locate and penetrate ova membrane
• Head – contains genetic material from male – 23 chromosomes
• Mitochondria – midpiece – helps supply energy – converts
fructose from Sem. Ves
• Tail - movement –
• Avg. amount of sperm in each ejaculation?
