The male reproductive system includes the testes, epididymis, penis, scrotum, and urethra. The testes produce sperm and testosterone and are held in the scrotum outside of the body. The epididymis is a coiled structure where sperm mature after leaving the testes. The penis is made up of erectile tissues and is used for both reproduction and urination. During an erection, blood flows into the tissues of the penis. The urethra passes through the penis and is the channel through which both urine and semen exit the body.
