Male Reproductive System Functions

Epididymis: Stores and matures sperm after they are produced in the testes; sperm can spend several weeks here undergoing maturation.
Vas Deferens: Transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct; also stores sperm and is involved in sperm peristalsis during ejaculation.
Corpus Spongiosum: Surrounds the urethra and keeps it open during ejaculation, preventing it from collapsing; also plays a role in maintaining erection.
Prepuce (Foreskin): Covers the glans of the penis; protects sensitive skin and contributes to sexual arousal; can be removed surgically through circumcision.
Ejaculatory Duct: Carries sperm mixed with seminal fluid from the seminal vesicles to the urethra; plays a critical role in the delivery of sperm during ejaculation.
Glans Penis: Highly sensitive area that responds to sexual stimulation; rich in nerve endings which enhance sexual pleasure.
Corpora Cavernosa: Two columns of erectile tissue located along the length of the penis; fill with blood during arousal, leading to an erection; essential for sexual intercourse.
Vas Deferens: (Repeated function) Essential for the transport and storage of sperm, facilitating its movement towards the urethra during ejaculation.
Ejaculatory Duct: (Repeated function) A key conduit for sperm delivery, combining sperm and fluids in preparation for ejaculation.
Prepuce (Foreskin): (Repeated purpose) Serves protective and sensory functions, enhancing the erotic experience of sexual activity.
