The male reproductive system consists of both primary and secondary organs. The primary organs are the testes, which produce sperm and the hormone testosterone. Secondary organs include ducts like the epididymis and vas deferens that transport sperm, as well as accessory glands like the seminal vesicles and prostate gland that provide fluids to nourish and protect sperm. The external genitalia are the penis and scrotum. The primary roles of the male reproductive system are production and transportation of sperm and depositing sperm in the female reproductive tract during sexual intercourse.

1. MALE REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM ( Brief Summerziation)

2. Review of anatomy and physiology of
male reproductive system…
The reproductive system of both
males and females consists of
primary (or essential) organs and
secondary (or accessory) organs.

3. The primary organs are referred to as “
Gonads”. ( The female gonads are the
ovaries, the male gonads are the
testes.)
The primary function /responsibility of
the gonads is secretion of hormones
and production of gametes (ova &
sperm.)

4. Secondary organs are responsible
for transporting and nourishing the
ova and sperm as well as preserving
and protecting the fertilized eggs.

5. Male reproductive system… .
The primary roles of the male
reproductive system are…
Production and transportation of sperm.
Deposit of sperm in the female
reproductive tract and
Secretion of hormones

6. The primary reproductive organs in
the male are the testes.
Secondary reproductive organs
include.
* Ducts (epididymis, Ducts deference,
ejaculatory duct and urethra.)

7.  Sex glands ( Prostate gland,
cowper‘s glands and seminal
vesicles) and
The external genitalia (scrotum and
penis)

8. What is the male reproductive system..
Male reproductive system consists of
a number of sex organs that are a
part of the human reproductive
process.

9. Male reproductive organs
Extrnal genital organs
• Penis
• Scrotum

10. Internal genital organs
Testis
Epididymis
Vas deferens
Accessory organs
• Seminal vesicles
• Prostate gland
• Bulbourethral glands.

12. Testis
The paired testes are oval /Ovid
shaped male organs.
Measuring 3.5 to 5.5 cm long and 2
to 3 cm wide, that produces sperm
and hormone.
Testosterone (sex hormone in male)

13. Each testis is made of tightly coiled
structures called “ seminiferous tubules”.
Among tubules are cells that produce
testosterone.

14. Ducts
Sperm formed in the seminiferous
tubules move through a series of
ducts.
The ducts transport the sperm from
the testes to the outside of the body.

15. The Epididymis

16.  The Epididymis is a comma shaped
structure located on the top and behind
each testis inside in the scrotum.
The Epididymis transports the sperm as
they mature
Sperm exit the Epididymis through a long,
thick tube known as the ducts deferens.

17. The ducts deferens (also known as the
Vas deferens)

18. The Vas deferens
The Vas deferens is a thin tube that
starts from the Epididymis to the
urethra in the penis.
They transport sperm from the
Epididymis in anticipation of
ejaculation.

19. The accessory organs or glands

20. Seminal vesicles
Prostate gland
Bulbourethral gland

21. Seminal vesicles
Seminal vesicles lie just behind the
bladder and between the rectum and
the bladder. (they produce a sticky
yellowish fluid that contains fructose.

22. Prostate gland

23.  The prostate gland lies underneath
the bladder.
The prostate gland is responsible for
making the production of seven, a
liquid mixture of sperm cells, prostate
fluid and seminal fluid.

24. External genitalia
External genitalia consist of the penis
and the scrotum.
