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.
Finally…We found each other!!
And this is how important of the reproductive system…
