Male Reproductive System
Penis
The organ of the male genitals. It is made of a shaft and a glans, and partly covered at birth by a foreskin. It is used for urination and ejaculation.

Testicles
Male gonads. They are glands in the scrotum that make sperm and male hormones. They are sometimes called testes.

Epididymis
The coiled tubes, behind the testicles, where sperm mature, and are stored.

Male Reproductive System
Vas Deferens
The tube that carries sperm from the epididymis up into the male’s body.

Male Reproductive System
Seminal Vesicles
Glands on each vas deferens that make some of the liquid part of semen.

Male Reproductive System
Prostate Gland
A gland under the bladder that makes some of the liquid part of semen.

Male Reproductive System
Cowper’s Gland
Glands on either side of the urethra that make a discharge which lines the urethra when a man gets an erection, making it less acid-like to protect the sperm.

Male Reproductive System
Urethra
The tube that carries urine out of the body. In males, it also carries semen, but not at the same time.

Male Reproductive System
Path of a sperm cell
Testicle > Epididymis > through vas deferens > into urethra after passing through prostate gland > out of urethra during ejaculation (release of semen from penis)
