Anatomy of the Male Reproductive System

The male reproductive system includes external (penis, scrotum, epididymus, and testes) and internal (accessory) organs.

Thumbnail
Scrotum

The purpose of the scrotum is to provide the testes with a chamber of appropriate temperature for optimal sperm production.

Thumbnail
Testes

The testis is homologous to the ovary in that it produces the male gamete (sperm) while the ovary produces the female gamete (egg).

Thumbnail
Penis

In human males, the penis serves as both a reproductive organ and as a urinal duct.

Thumbnail
Testes Ducts

Testes ducts, which include the seminiferous tubules and vas deferens, are involved in the creation or transportation of sperm.

Accessory Sex Glands

The accessory sex glands produce seminal fluid and clean and lubricate the urethra.
