Male Reproductive System

Testis: Glands where sperm and testosterone is produced.

Epididymis: Stores sperm and transports it from the testes.
Seminal Vesicle: Stores the liquid that mixes with sperm which forms into semen.
Cowpers Gland: Acts as a tube through which semen and urine exit the body.
Urethra: Connects the bladder to the penis. Urine and semen flows through the
Urethra.
Prostate Gland: Tube that carries urine out of the body.
Ductus vas deferens: Ducts that carry ejaculatory sperm out of the epididymis.
Penis: The tube that semen and urine exits the body.
Tail: Its function is to help propel the cell towards the egg.
Middle Piece: It contains mitochondria which acts as a powerhouse, providing
energy to the sperm to swim.
Acrosomal Head: The head contains the genetic information and an enzyme to
penetrate the eggs cell membrane.

Gonadotropin releasing hormone: Produced in the

arcuate nuclei of the hypothalamus. It stimulates the synthesis and secretion of
gonadotropins luteinizing hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone.

Follicle stimulating hormone: Produced by the

pituitary gland. Follicle stimulating hormone helps control the production of sperm.
Follicle stimulating hormone works in the blood.

Luteinizing hormone: Produced by the pituitary

gland. Luteinizing hormone stimulates the production of testosterone. Works in the
blood.
 Testosterone: Produced in the adrenal glands,
and the testicles. It affects male puberty, signals body to make new blood cells,
enhances libido, and regulates the secretion of the luteinizing hormone, and follicle
stimulating hormone. It works in the blood.

Puberty/secondary sex characteristic is the bodys development for humans. It

starts from 10-15 years old. The testicle grows bigger, the skin of the scrotum
becomes thinner and pubic hair starts to develop. Facial hair, armpit hair, leg hair,
and hair may grow all over your body. Your body becomes more muscular. The voice
starts to get deeper. Body odor starts to get pungent. Acne starts to grow on your
face.
