Week 16 – Reproductive System Study Guide
Identify the characteristics and functions of the following: penis, testes, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, sperm
penis - is a male organ, responsible for transporting urine and semen outside the body. It t is a flexible, that splits into a Y shaped rod (an attached root and a free body, capable of expanding) attached to the underside of the pubic bone.
testes – produce spermatozoa
