What is the main function of the reproductive system?

The reproductive system is responsible for creating and uniting the gametes (sperm and egg), supporting the development of offspring, and ultimately ensuring the continuity of the human species.

What are the main components of the male reproductive system?

The male reproductive system is composed of both external and internal organs, which work together to produce and deliver sperm.

What is the primary function of the penis?

The penis is an external organ of the male reproductive system that serves as the organ of copulation, delivering sperm into the female reproductive system.

What are the testes responsible for in the male reproductive system?

The male reproductive system is responsible for producing sperm, the male gamete necessary for fertilization. This process occurs in the testes.
