Study Notes
Male Reproductive System
- The male reproductive system consists of organs such as the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, urethra, and penis.
Testes
- The testes produce sperm, also known as male gametes, through a process called spermatogenesis.
- The testes also produce testosterone, a hormone that regulates the development of male characteristics.
Sperm
- Sperm are single cells, specifically haploid cells, containing half of the genetic material needed to fertilize an egg.
- The main components of a sperm are:
- Head: contains the genetic material (DNA)
- Neck: connects the head to the body
- Body: provides energy for the sperm's movement
- Tail: propels the sperm forward during fertilization
