The Male Reproductive system

The Male Reproductive system consists of: Testicles: They are the sperm producing organs, and that from puberty, also produce a hormone, testosterone, responsible for the appearance of secondary sexual characters. Epididymis: There spermatozoa are stored until the time of ejaculation. Deferent Duct: it is the continuation of the tail of the epididymis. Originates from the sperm reservoir and leads them to the ejaculatory duct. Ejaculatory Duode: Of the conductive spermatozoa, is the one of smaller size and smaller caliber. It comes out in the prostatic part of the urethra, next to a protrusion called the seminal colliculus. Urethra: It is a common channel for urination and ejaculation. Prostate: This is where the prostatic secretion joins the secretion of the seminal vesicles to constitute the volume of the seminal fluid.

Penis: Male copulation organ, in addition to serving as channel for ejaculation, it is through this organ that the urine is also expelled.
