Puberty = process of physical changes by which a child’s body becomes an adult body capable of reproduction • Puberty is initiated by production of FSH and LH which cause the development of secondary sexual characteristics Secondary sexual characteristics
I. MALE ANATOMY • Scrotum = sac containing the testes; sperm develop in the testes • Normal sperm production requires a temperature about 2-3 degrees C below body T • Testes develop near kidneys and start descending during the 7th month of fetal development
Epididymis = site of sperm maturation • Vas deferens (or ductus deferens) = duct that transports sperm from the epididymis towards the urethra • Urethra = transports both semen & urine • Semen = sperm + the fluids secreted by accessory sex glands
Accessory Sex Glands: • Seminal vesicles = glands that secrete alkaline fructose rich fluid; used to neutralize acidic environment of male urethra & vagina; fructose is used for ATP production of sperm cells • Seminal vesicles make 60% of the volume of semen
Prostate gland = secretes slightly acidic fluid that contributes to sperm motility and viability • Prostate gland makes up 25% of the volume of semen • Bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s glands) = secrete an alkaline fluid into the urethra that protects the sperm by neutralizing acids from urethra Bulbourethral gland
