KEY WORDSScrotum Epididymis Vas deferens

Prostate gland Semen Testosterone

Puberty Urethra Hypothalamus

Seminiferous tubules Seminal vesicle

Pituitary gland Cowper’s Gland

LH and FSH

Male reproductive system must both:

• Produce sperm.• Pass sperm on to female – sexual intercourse.

Male symbol represents the shield and spear of Mars - Roman god of war.

Page 5: Name the parts of the male reproductive system.  Describe sperm production, storage and function

Male sex organs:

Scrotum

Urethra

Penis

Vas Deferens

Bladder

Testes

Epididymus

Cowper’s Gland

Prostate

Seminal Vesicle

Page 6: Name the parts of the male reproductive system.  Describe sperm production, storage and function

Carries both sperm and urine through the penis. Bladder has a small valve that stops urine during ejaculation.

Scrotum Holds the testes externally (outside).Providing a cooler environment for healthy sperm.

Testes Contains tiny tubes - seminiferous tubules that produce 300 to 500 million sperm per day.

Epididymis Storage place where sperm are kept until they leave the body.

Vas deferens Carries sperm from epididymis to the urethra.

Prostate gland / Seminal vesicle / Cowper’s gland

3 glands together make fluid called semen. Semen contains nutrients that give sperm energy to swim from the male and unite with an egg in the female.

Urethra

Page 7: Name the parts of the male reproductive system.  Describe sperm production, storage and function

Head:- contains chromosomes- contains chemicals for entering egg.

Tail:- provides mobility, propelling sperm forward.

• Made in seminiferous tubules.• Stored in the epididymis. • Travel through Vas deferens to the urethra.• Ejaculated into female to find egg.

Sperm

Male gametes:

• Hormones are chemicals that help body parts talk to each other and are essential for proper functioning of the system.

• Male and female embryos identical until the seventh week of growth.

• At seventh week a hormone is released by the brain instructing embryo to produce male (or female) sexual structures.

Male sex hormones:

Page 10: Name the parts of the male reproductive system.  Describe sperm production, storage and function

• Sex organs remain nonfunctioning until the offspring reach puberty.

Puberty:

• Brain instructs body to begin rapid growth and reach sexual maturity.

• Brain begins production of male sex hormones called androgens.

In the brain:1. Hypothalamus releases a hormone to the

pituitary gland. 2. Causes Pituitary gland to release two hormones

abbreviated LH and FSH.

LH travels to the testes, stimulates cells to produce hormone testosterone – outside changes.

FSH combines with testosterone to stimulate the production of sperm – inside changes.

The Male reproductive system:• Provides for the production and storage of sperm.

• Structure of male reproductive system is established at the seventh week development.

• Nonfunctioning until puberty.

• Hypothalamus signals the pituitary gland to release LH and FSH to the testes.

• Testosterone is responsible for all changes.
