Male genital system

The male genital system found in the pelvic region with a series of organs in and around the

pelvic region. The supply of Ova fertilization with sperm is the main role of the male

reproductive system. To produce and store of sperm is the key consideration of male. The main

reproductive components of the male reproductive system contains testicles, penis, and

scrotum.

Penis:

Mainly this part of the male body is used for sexual intercourse. This makes organ has three

main parts the first part is connected with the abdominal which is the base of the penis, the

body, and the cone-shaped section gland that are attached at the end of the penis. The head of

the penis is also known as the prostate it is protected with the thin layer of skin and it is called

foreskin. Circumcision is the process in which this skin is shed by the surgery. The train and

sperm move through the opening of the urethral tube which includes a narrow channel. The

penis gland also contains a large number of active nerves ends.

The body of the penis is cost is of three round chambers and is in cylindrical shape. Different

tissue merged to form these chambers. When a person is sexual aroused the vast spaces present

in penis filled with blood. During the intercourse the penis is filled with blood and become

erect and stiff which facilitate penetration. The forecast him in accommodating during the

erection and provides flexibility to move and gave size to penis..

When a man reaches a sexual peek semen which contains male reproductive cells is deported

trough the end of penis the urinary progression is blocked when the penis is vertical from the

orgasm only semen is ejaculated.

The three parts of penis

Scrotum:

It’s a thick skinned sac that protect the testes and surrounds the testes with a protective layer. Scrotum is

a loose pouch-like structure attached below the penis along with the blood vessels and many nerves

it includes testicles. For the normal growth of sperms the tests should be slightly cooler then the

other temperature of the body it is also called the climate control device. The special muscles are

attached to the wall if scrotum that allows the scrotum to relax and contract the temperature of the

testicles rises in connection with the body and decreases when they body is further away from

testicles.

Testicles (testes):

The testicles in volume could be measured as 20 to 25 milliliters which is 2 to 3 teaspoons within

an average it is an oval organism which is about 1/5 to 3 inches in length around 4 to 7 centimeters.

Usually the right testis hangs slightly above to the left one.
Wide olive-shaped organs lay in the scrotum, one end being either connected to a device called a

spermatic cord. There are two in total. They are also known as the testosterone plant, the main male

sex hormone. Seminiferous tubules are coiled bundles of tubing inside the testicles. These tubes

are responsible for the production of sperm cells. The testes have two primary functions:

• Producing sperm

• Producing testosterone

Male reproductive system also contain internal organs also called accessory organs, include the

following:

• Epididymis:

It is a single coiled microscopic tube that is measured almost 20 feet in height. It provides the

developing environment to the sperm to mature and develops an ability to go through the

female reproductive system and gives the strength to fertilize the ovum.

long coiled tube located backside of the testicles. Main function of this tube is to transports

and stores sperm cells. It also is the job of the epididymis to bring the sperm to adulthood, since

the sperm that arise from the testes are unripe and unable to fertilize. During sexual

stimulation, contractions force the sperm into the vas deferens.

• Vas deferens:

It is a firm tube from epididymis it transfer sperm. The vas deferens is a elongated, muscular

tube that travels from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity, behind the bladder. The vas

deferens transporting mature sperm to the urethra, the tube that carries urine or sperm to outside

of the body, in during for ejaculation.

 • Ejaculatory ducts:

These are made by the synthesis of the vas deferens and the seminal vesicles. The ejaculatory

ducts empty into the urethra.

• Urethra:

In male the urethra serves dual functions. This tunnel is responsible for the urinary tract that

transfers urine from the bladder and other reproductive system.

The tube that carries urine from the urinary bladder to outside of the body. In males, it has the

extra function of exclaiming semen when the man reaches sexual peak. When the penis is

upright during sex, the urinary flow is blocked from the urethra, it permitting only semen to be

ejaculated at orgasm.

• Seminal vesicles:

The seminal vesicles are joined with the vas defense to produce the ejaculatory ducts and are

located above the prostate it travels through the prostate. It nourishes the sperm by the fluid that

is produced by seminal vesicles and prostate. Most of the semen volume is provided by this

fluid. Near the base of urinary bladder sac like pouches attached the vas defense. The seminal

vesicles produce a fluid (fructose) that provides highly energetic source to sperm they can

move.

• Prostate gland:

In male reproductive system prostate is known as the largest accessory gland. Proteolytic enzymes

are secretes into semen through prostate gland which in the ejaculate act to breakdown the cloting
factors. In this essay we will further loom at the anatomy of the prostate which includes its

vasculature, structure and innervation.

Walnut size structure located below the urinary bladder and front of the rectum called prostate

gland. It contributes extra watery substance to the ejaculate. The fluid of prostate gland also help

to nourish the sperm. The urethral gland, which carries the exclaim (ejaculate) to be expelled out

during orgasm, goes through the middle of the prostate gland.

 • Bulbourethral glands:

Structure of pea scale on the surface of the urethra just behind the prostate glands, also known

as Cowper's glands. The purpose of these glands is to create a thin, sticky fluid that flows

directly into the urethra. This solution is used to remove the urethra and to neutralize the acidity

that may be present due to the residual urine fall in the urethra.

Senile prostatic enlargement

Often referred to as benign prostatic hyperplasia. It's not a cancer, but it's a cancer risk.

Extended prostate gland may cause painful urinary symptoms, such as restricting the flow of

urine out of the bladder. It can also cause complications with the intestine, urinary tract, or

kidneys. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most serious prostate issue for people older than

50 The cause of senile prostatic enlargement is still uncertain. Key risks include family history,

overweight, type 2 diabetes, inadequate exercise, and erectile functions. Many favor

medications such as pseudoephedrine, anticholinergics, and calcium through this illness.

Owing to the enlargement of the penis, the underlying process involves squeezing the ureteral

gland, making it very difficult to move water out of the bladder.

Treatment of this condition involves dietary changes, medications, a variety of treatments, and

surgery. For those with minor signs of weight loss, exercise and reduced consumption of

caffeine is advised. And the more important symptoms, medicines may include alpha-blockers

such as terazosin or 55-007-reductase inhibitors such as finasteride. Action and replacement of

part of the prostate could be permitted for those who may not improve their condition with any

intervention. Alternative drugs, such as saw palmetto, do not seem to improve.
