- Sperm formation occurs in the seminiferous tubules found within the testes.
- The glans penis comprises tissue from the corpus spongiosum.
- Vas deferens functions as the excretory duct for sperm.

- Cryptorchidism describes the failure of one or both testicles to descend into the scrotum.
- Oligospermia characterizes the production of a low amount of sperm.
- Gynecomastia involves the development and enlargement of breast tissue in males.
