The organs of the male reproductive system are specialized for the following functions: To produce‚ maintain and transport sperm (the male reproductive cells) and protective fluid (semen) To discharge sperm within the female reproductive tract To produce and secrete male sex hormones The male reproductive anatomy includes internal and external structures. What are the external reproductive structures? Most of the male reproductive system is located outside of the man’s body. The external

The Male Reproductive System The male reproductive system generates and propels sex cells. This occurs during sexual intercourse and perpetuates the survival of Humanity in order to reproduce offspring from generation to generation. (Innerbody‚ 2013) The Male hormones that stimulate the reproductive organs are produced in the anterior patuitary gland and their release is controlled by Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) made in the hypothalamus within the brain. The two Hormones include; Luteinising

Male Reproductive System There are three major purposes of the male reproductive system: production of spermatozoa‚ secretion of sex hormones and to transport spermatozoa from male to the female. The organs in this system are mainly external and consist of a penis and the scrotum‚ which contains and protects testes. Because the testes require lower temperature than the rest of the body‚ the scrotum regulates temperature for normal spermatozoa development. When the testes need to cool down‚ the cremaster

What is the Male Reproductive System? The male reproductive system is responsible for the production‚ maintaining‚ and transporting sperm and semen‚ to discharge sperm within the female reproductive tract during sex‚ to produce and secrete male sex hormones responsible for maintaining the male reproductive system. What happens if you have disorders such as: EDD‚ BPH‚ Testicular Cancer‚ or Infertility? Erectile dysfunction is defined as the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection

Top of Form . The Male Reproductive System > The Male Reproductive System: Introduction The male reproductive system is composed of the testes‚ genital ducts‚ accessory glands‚ and penis (Figure 21–1). The dual function of the testis is to produce spermatozoa and hormones. The genital ducts and accessory glands produce secretions that‚ aided by smooth muscle contractions‚ conduct spermatozoa toward the exterior. These secretions also provide nutrients for spermatozoa while

The reproductive system is made up of organs and tissues that are involved in the production‚ maturation of gametes and in their union and subsequent development as offspring. Sometimes problems can occur in the reproductive system. Some problems that can occur in the male reproductive system are jock itch‚ undescended testes and testicular cancer. Some problems that can occur in the female reproductive system are vaginitis‚ toxic shock syndrome‚ and cervical cancer. Problems can occur in the
