Study Notes
Male Reproductive System
- Organs involved in gamete and sex hormone production in both sexes: gonads (testes in males, ovaries in females)
Testes Function
- Main function of testes in males: produce sperm and testosterone
Duct System
- Structures making up the duct system for sperm transport: epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra
Accessory Glands
- Main function of accessory glands: nourish, transport, and mature sperm
- Glands responsible for this function: seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands
Supporting Structures
- Supporting structures in the male reproductive system: scrotum, cremaster muscles, and dartos muscle
Gonads
- Main function of gonads in both sexes: produce gametes and sex hormones
Sperm Transport
- Structure involved in transporting sperm outside the body: urethra
Hormone Production
- Hormone produced by testes in males: testosterone
- Gland responsible for producing testosterone: testes
Seminal Vesicles
- Function of seminal vesicles: nourish, transport, and mature sperm
Epididymis
- Structure involved in the transport of sperm outside the body: epididymis
