    Study Notes

    Male Reproductive System

    • The seminal vesicles secrete an alkaline fluid rich in sugars and prostaglandins.
    • The prostate gland surrounds the proximal urethra in a male.
    • A mixture of sperm cells and fluids from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands forms semen.
    • The testes are the primary organs of the male reproductive system because they produce sperm and testosterone.

    Reproductive System

    • Each lobule of the testes is filled with seminiferous tubules, which are filled with spermatogenic cells that give rise to sperm cells.
    • The bulbourethral gland produces a fluid that lubricates the penis for sexual intercourse.

    Reproductive Disorders

    • Impotence is the inability to maintain an erection long enough to complete sexual intercourse.
    • Prostatitis can cause pain during bowel movements.
    • Prostate cancer is a condition that can cause pain during bowel movements.

    Sperm Cell Transport

    • The vas deferens carries sperm cells from the epididymis to the urethra.

    Male Reproductive Glands

    • The prostate gland produces a milky, alkaline fluid that is secreted into the urethra just before ejaculation to protect sperm from the acidic environment of the female vagina.
    • The bulbourethral gland, seminal vesicle, and epididymis are not responsible for producing this fluid.

    Reproductive System

    • A mixture of sperm cells and fluids from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands form semen.
