Question
Describe the human male reproductive system.
✓
Answer
In human male reproductive system, the reproductive organs are as follows:
- Testes, different types of duct systems and glands.
- Testes are in pair. Each testis lies in the scrotum which lies outside to abdominal cavity.
- Testes -consist of numerous seminiferous tubules. The germinal epithelium of seminiferous tubules form sperms by undergoing meiosis.
- These sperm cells are immature.
- They are pushed gradually through various duct systems till the penis.
- This path is as follows:
Rete testis → vas efferentia → epididymis → vasa deferentia → Ejaculatory duct → urethra - As the sperms are travelling, they gradually become mature. They are made capable to perform process of fertilization.
- Seminal vesicles (in pairs), Single prostate gland and a pair of Cowper’s glands secrete their secretions. These secretions and the sperms together form semen.
- This semen is deposited in the vagina with help of penis.
