Study Notes
Male Reproductive System Components
- Urinary Bladder: Hollow organ that stores urine until excretion.
- Symphysis Pubis: Anterior part of the pelvic girdle that supports the pelvic structure.
- Vas Deferens: Tube that transports sperm from the testes to the penis for ejaculation.
- Seminal Vesicle: Gland that produces a fluid that nourishes sperm and makes up part of semen.
- Ejaculatory Duct: Passage that links the seminal vesicles with the urethra, facilitating semen delivery.
Glands and Their Functions
- Prostate Gland: Located below the bladder; adds alkaline fluid to semen, enhancing sperm viability.
- Bulbourethral Gland: Situated beneath the prostate; secretes a pre-ejaculatory fluid that lubricates the urethra.
Reproductive and Excretory Tubes
- Urethra: Duct that carries urine out of the bladder and semen during ejaculation.
- Anus: The external opening of the anal canal, important for the body's waste elimination.
External Male Anatomy
- Penis: Main external reproductive organ that houses the urethra for urine and semen expulsion.
- Epididymus: Coiled structure on the back of each testis where sperm mature and are stored.
- Glans Penis: The sensitive tip of the penis, crucial for sexual arousal and stimulation.
- Prepuce (or Foreskin): Skin covering the penis, can be removed in circumcision.
- Testis: Male reproductive gland responsible for producing sperm and testosterone.
- Scrotum: External pouch that contains and protects the testes, helps regulate their temperature.
