Study Notes
- The reproductive system consists of organs, glands, secretions, and other elements enabling animals to reproduce.
Parts of Male Reproductive System
- Penis: Composed of three cylindrical erectile tissues covered by skin and subcutaneous tissue without fat; the skin is thin, distensible, and loosely attached to underlying structures.
- Urethra: The last connecting link from the testes to the exterior.
- The penile portion serves as a passage for both urine and seminal fluid, thus being shared with the urinary system.
- Scrotum: A pouch of skin divided into compartments by a wall down the middle.
Male Internal Reproductive Organs
- Testes or Testicles: Essential male reproductive organs, divided into compartments or lobules containing seminiferous tubules where spermatogenesis (sperm formulation) occurs.
