Male reproductive organ Structures
Testes (testis) Two oval shape covered by
scrotum. Each testis is
covered by tunica(tough,
fibrous layer)
Scrotum Skin layer covered the
testes that looks like a sac
Penis Made of spongy tissue
which can be filled with
blood
Erectile tissue Located in corpora
cavernosa of the penis
Sperm duct/vas deferen Long, muscular tube that
runs from the epididymis
into the pelvis cavity
Epididymis Long, narrow and coiled
tube that rests on each
testis
Prostate gland Gland located below the
bladder and joins sperm
duct and urethra
Urethra Muscular fibrous structure
enclosed by urethral
sphincter that connects the
exterior of the body
Functions
Produce
hormones(testosterones
and androgens) and
sperm
Holds the testes and
keeps the temperature
of the testes two degree
below the body
temperature
Carries both urine and
semen ,causes urination,
erection and ejaculation
Capable of erection
Allow sperm to reach
outside
Carries, stores sperm
and makes them mature
because sperms that
come out of the testes
are immature
Produce the fluid that
nourishes and
transports sperm
Allow urine and semen
to the outside of the
body
Female reproductive Structures Functions
organ
Ovary Located in dorsal side Produce ovum,
of the abdomen hormones (oestrogen
and progesterone )
Oviduct/Fallopian tube Muscular and elastic Transport follicle from
tube where fertilization ovary to uterus and
occurs allow fertilization
Uterus Hollow, pear-shaped Nourish the fetus for
organ and has three further developments
layers (Endometrium,
myometrium and
perimetrium)
Vagina Muscular, elastic birth Receive penis during
canal with a soft, intercourse and hold
flexible lining the sperm until they
pass uterus; provide the
pathway for child birth
Cervix Circular opening that Allow passage into the
attaches the uterus and uterus and produce
vagina mucus to facilitate
sperm entry
