1I - Part 1 In which part of the male reproductive system is the male reproductive cell (i.e. sperm) produced?
1I - Part 2 When/as a result of what internal process does the part of the male reproductive system you have identified above produce sperm?
1I - Part 3 Which part of the male reproductive system is responsible for ensuring that sperm are kept at a temperature that promotes their health and how does it do this?
1I - Part 4 As a part of the male reproductive system, what is the role of the epididymis?
1I - Part 5 What is the name of the muscular tube that is responsible for transporting sperm to the urethra via the ejaculatory duct?
1I - Part 6 Which two parts of the male reproductive system release fluids that mix with sperm to create semen?
1I - Part 7 Which part of the male reproductive system has muscles that help to project sperm out of the urethra during ejaculation?
1I - Part 8 What is the external organ that surrounds the urethra?
1. Sperms are produced in seminiferous tubules in testes
2. Spermatogenesis is the process in which haploid spermatozoa developes from germ cells.
3. Testis are situated outside the body cavity as temperature of testis in lower than core body temperature, that is important for normal development of sperm, because excessive heat destroys the sperm
4. Epididymis is a long, coiled tube that rests on the backside of each testicle. It stores and transport the sperms to the vas deferens after sexual arousal.
5.spermatic cord
When ejaculation occurs, sperm is forcefully expelled from the tail of the epididymis into the Vas deferens duct. Sperm then travels through the deferent duct through up the spermatic cord into the pelvic cavity, over the ureter to the prostate behind the bladder
6. Seminal vesicle situated between bladder and rectum.
Duct from seminal vesicle joins the vas deferens to form ejaculatory duct. Seminal vesicles secretes alkaline and fructose containing fluid which mixes with sperms to form semen
7. Bulbospingious muscle of superficial muscle of perineum helps to project sperms out from urethra during ejaculation.
8. Male genital organ surrounds the urethra in male
