Describe the role, function and essential organs the reproductive system and all the anatomical structures.
I am here describing about male reproductive system.
Reproductive system ensures the continuation of species. It is the process of formation of new offsprings and to continue the generation.
Gonads are the primary reproductive organs which produce the gametes (egg or ovum) , a pair of testes produces sperms in males and a pair of ovaries produce ovum in female.
Primary sēx organs in males are- Testes
Accessory sēx organs in males are-
1. Seminal vesicles
2. Prostate gland.
3. Urethra
4. Pènis
External genital organs in males are scrotum, pēnis and urethra. Rest organs mentioned above are internal genital organs.
Testes are the main organ which produces sperms. Testes are located in the scrotum. Each testes is made up of many seminiferous tubules in which sperms are produced.
Seminal vesicle are the paired glands situated in lower abdomen on either side of prostate gland behind urinary bladder. Seminal fluid provide nutrition to sperms and helps in clotting of sperms.
Prostate gland is made up of 20 -30 separatr glands which opens separately into the urethra. Prostate secret prostatic fluid which is emptied into prostatic urethra through prostatic sinus. Prostatic fluid maintains sperms motility by providing optimal pH.
Urethra is the passage from where sperms passes and comes out of pēnis.
