Abstract
The human reproductive system consists of primary and secondary organs to facilitate the process of reproduction. The male reproductive system is specialized for the production of male gametes and their transportation to the female reproductive tract that is mediated by supporting fluids and production of testosterone. The organs of the male reproductive system consist of the paired testis (site of testosterone and sperm production), scrotum (compartment for testis localization), epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral gland, ejaculatory duct, urethra, and penis. The accessory organs facilitate the process of sperm maturation and transportation. Sperm with the secretions of seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands constitute semen (the ejaculate). The penis and urethra help in delivering the ejaculate to the female reproductive tract. This chapter provides an introduction to the male reproductive system and its functions.
