MALE REPRODUCTIVE

SYSTEM
testes

The
(singular: testis),
commonly known as the testicles, are a
pair of ovoid glandular organs that are
central to the function of the male
reproductive system. The testes are
responsible for the production of sperm
cells and the male sex hormone
testosterone. The testes produce as
many as 12 trillion sperm in a male's
lifetime, about 400 million of which are
released in a single ejaculation.

epididymis

The
is part of the male
reproductive system and is present in all male
reptiles, birds, and mammals. It is a single, narrow,
tightly-coiled tube (in adult humans, six to seven
meters in length) connecting the efferent ducts
from the rear of each testicle to its vas deferens.

seminal vesicles

The
are a pair of
tube-like glands. They are found behind the
bladder of males. They make most of the
content of semen (also called seminal fluid).
About 70% of the seminal fluid in humans
comes from the seminal vesicles.

prostate

The
literally "one who stands
before", "protector", "guardian") is a
compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland of
the male reproductive system in most
mammals. It differs considerably among
species anatomically, chemically, and
physiologically.
