What are the external anatomical structures of the male reproductive system? What are their primary functions?
The male reproductive system is composed of different numbers of
sex organs which plays an important role in human reproduction. Sex
organs are composed of a pe-nis and testicle that produces semen
and sperm which takes part in sexual intercourse. The pe-nis is the
male organ which has a long shaft and bulbous shape. The testis is
a pouch-like structure.
The external anatomical structure of the male reproductive system
is composed of testis, scro-tum, epididymis, and pe-nis. Testis is
the oval organs and their size varies in different number because
of the lie in the scro-tum. The scro-tum is a pouch-like structure
that hangs behind the pe-nis. Testicle involves many nerves and
blood vessels are present in the scro-tum. This function to manage
the control system for testis. The pe-nis is the male organ that is
used for sexual intercourse. This has ahead of the pe-nis which is
covered with the loose layer of the skin called the foreskin. These
are the organ which is utilized to perform in the reproductive
system.
The primary functions of these organs are-
The pe-nis is involved to play the role in the process of
reproduction. They are formed of large spaces in which man is
around when it is filled with the blood. This is known for the
movement of the testicle which is closer to the body and protects
from the body to cool the temperature. Testis is also the oval
organs which are responsible to produce sperm like structure which
are responsible to carry and store the sperm cells formed in the
testis.
