structures that
connect the kidneys to
the urinary bladder,
transporting urine
from the renal
pelvis into the bladder.

penis. It holds the
testicles (also
called testes), as

nerves and blood
vessels.

The testes are oval
organs that lie in

tube that
rests on the
backside of
each testicle.
It is where
the sperm
cells mature.
VAS DEFERENS

muscular tube that
travels from the
epididymis into the
pelvic cavity, to just
behind the bladder.
It carries sperm
from testes to
urethra
PROSTATE GLAND

slightly
alkaline
milky fluid
that is
discharged
as part of the
