Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the form and function of the male reproductive system. The embryonic development, functional anatomy, histology, and physiology of this system are briefly discussed. The reproductive system consists of specialized cells, tissues, and structures that already start developing in utero but only initiate function during puberty. These tissues are well vascularized and innervated and are controlled by an intricate interplay with the endocrine system. Structures of the male reproductive system interact with their endocrine controllers and each other to ensure proper initiation and maintenance of androgen production and spermatogenesis.
