    Study Notes

    Male Reproductive System

    • The bulbourethral glands produce a clear fluid that makes up a significant portion of semen, providing nutrients and lubrication for sperm.

    Sexual Arousal

    • The corpus cavernosum, a part of the penis, contains spongy tissue that fills with blood during sexual arousal, leading to erection.

    Nutrition and Reproduction

    • Zinc plays a crucial role in the male reproductive system, as it is essential for sperm development and maturation.

    Hormonal Regulation

    • The hormone testosterone plays a vital role in regulating the functions of the male reproductive system, including sperm production and development.

    Urinary and Reproductive Functions

    • The urethra serves a dual purpose, carrying urine from the bladder and semen from the reproductive glands during ejaculation.

    Sperm Production

    • The testes are responsible for producing sperm and the hormone testosterone, which regulates sperm development and maturation.

    Sperm Maturation

    • Sperm are stored and matured in the epididymis after being produced in the testes.

    Semen Composition

    • The seminal vesicles produce a fluid rich in fructose and other nutrients that provide energy for sperm.

    Sperm Transportation

    • The vas deferens is a muscular tube that stores and transports sperm from the epididymis to the urethra during ejaculation.

    Semen Composition

    • The prostate gland produces a milky fluid that makes up a significant portion of semen, providing nutrients and lubrication for sperm.
