Male Reproductive Anatomy
Accessory Glands
(Cowper's Gland and Prostate Gland)- Provide fluid that lubricate the duct system/nourish the sperm
After maturing in the epididymis
the sperm travels through a tube called the vas deferens.
From the testicle the sperm moves
up into to the epididymis to mature.
As the sperm move past the Seminal Vesicle, they pass by the
Accessory glands where they are given a lubricant and more nourishment.
Epididymis
After creation, sperm are stored here until they ripen and mature.
Testicle
One of two sex glands that produce the male reproductive cells called sperm and the male hormone testosterone
Seminal Vesicle
Produces a sticky, sugary fluid to nourish the sperm.
The Vas Deferens first takes the sperm past the
Seminal Vesicle where they are nourished with a sticky sugary fluid.
Vas Deferens
The passageway carrying the sperm from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles.
Urethra
The passageway to transfer urine or semen outside the body
The fluid from the Seminal Vesicle and Accessory glands change the sperm into semen which
exits the body through a passageway called the Urethra.
