Male Reproductive System

External Organs of Reproduction• The scrotum- Containing the

testes.- Providing a

temperature lower than that of the body.

- Requiring for viable sperm production.

• The testes- Oval in shape.- Responsible for the

production of sperm.- There are two testes

and each is covered externally by tunica albuginea.

External Organs of Reproduction (cont)

• Penis- It is the male sex

organ containing erectile tissue that encased in skin.

- It delivers semen into the female vagina.

• Epididymis- Each epididymis is a

coiled tubule that lies on top of the testes within the scrotum.

- Serving as the location for sperm maturation and storage till they are ready to be released.

Internal Organs of Reproduction• Vas Deferens- Carrying sperm from

the epididymis up into the pelvic cavity.

- It is also called spermatic cord.

• Seminal Vesicles- They are small glands

located at the base of the urinary bladder.

- Connecting to the vas deferens just before the urethra.

- Secreting a glucose-rich fluid that nourishes the sperms.

Internal Organs of Reproduction (cont)

• Prostate Gland- It is located below

the urinary bladder.- It is important for

the reproductive process because it keeps sperms alive by neutralizing the pH of the urethra and vagina.

• Bulbourethral- It is also known as

Cowper’s glands.- Locating on the side

of the urethra just below the prostate.

- Producing a mucuslike lubricating fluid and become a part of the ejacalate.

Female Reproductive System

Internal Genitalia• Ovaries- There are two ovaries,

one located on each side of the uterus within the pelvic cavity.

- They are small almond-shaped glands that produce the ova and the female sex hormones.

Internal Genitalia (cont.)• Fallopian Tubes- It is also called the

uterine tubes or oviducts.

- They are located around each ovary to either side of the upper portion of the uterus.

• Uterus- It is a hallow, pear-

shaped organ that contains a thick muscular wall.

- It is supported by the round ligaments to stay in the same place.

Internal Genitalia (cont.)• Vagina- It is the muscular tube, lined with mucous

membrane.- It allows for the passage of the menstrual flow.- During intercourse, it receives the male’s penis

and semen which is the fluid containing sperm.- Serving as the birth canal through which the

baby passes during a normal vaginal birth.

And this is how important of the reproductive system…
