Male Reproductive System

Male Reproductive System

Male reproductive system consists of following parts;

Testis

In sac like scrotum, a pair of testis is present that lies outside the body.

Copulatory Organ

Transfer of sperms into female reproductive tract is done by the structure called Copulatory organ.

Seminiferous Tubules

Highly complex duct system called seminiferous tubules present in the testis.in these tubules, the cells of the germinal epithelium divides repeatedly and produce spermatozoa.

Spermatids

Spermatozoa increase in size and are differentiated into primary spermatocytes. Meiotic division occurs in primary spermatocytes and secondary spermatocytes are formed and finally spermatids are formed. Spermatids are differentiated into sperms.

Sertoli Cells

These cells secrete fluid which gives protection, nourishment and liquid medium to sperms when these sperms are present in the tubules.

Vas Deferens

The main duct of the male reproductive tract called vas deferens in which sperms are transferred.

Epididymis

Vas deferens forms highly convoluted structure called epididymis. Through urinogenital duct, sperms are passed and discharged.
