  2. Male Reproductive System • Penis • The organ of the male genitals. It is made of a shaft and a glans, and partly covered at birth by a foreskin. It is used for urination and ejaculation.

  3. Male Reproductive System • Testicles • Male gonads. They are glands in the scrotum that make sperm and male hormones. They are sometimes called testes.

  4. Male Reproductive System • Scrotum • The sac that holds the testes and controls their temperature.

  5. Male Reproductive System • Epididymis • The coiled tubes, behind the testicles, where sperm mature, and are stored.

  6. Male Reproductive System • Vas Deferens • The tube that carries sperm from the epididymis up into the male’s body.

  7. Male Reproductive System • Seminal Vesicles • Glands on each vas deferens that make some of the liquid part of semen.

  8. Male Reproductive System • Semen • The thick, whitish liquid which carries sperm cells.

  9. Male Reproductive System • Prostate Gland • A gland under the bladder that makes some of the liquid part of semen.

  10. Male Reproductive System • Cowper’s Gland • Glands on either side of the urethra that make a discharge which lines the urethra when a man gets an erection, making it less acid-like to protect the sperm.

  11. Male Reproductive System • Urethra • The tube that carries urine out of the body. In males, it also carries semen, but not at the same time.

  12. Male Reproductive System • Uncircumcised Penis • Foreskin (mostly covering the glans) • The extra sleeve of skin around the glans of the penis. It is sometimes removed by circumcision.

  13. Male Reproductive System • Circumcised Penis • Circumcision - an operation to remove the foreskin from the penis.

  14. Male Reproductive System • Path of a sperm cell • Testicle > Epididymis > through vas deferens > into urethra after passing through prostate gland > out of urethra during ejaculation (release of semen from penis)
