The reproductive system is a complex system of organs and tissues in the human body responsible for

the creation of new life and the perpetuation of the species. It differs between males and females, as
each has distinct reproductive organs and functions. Here's an overview of the reproductive system in
both sexes:

Male Reproductive System:

Testes: The male reproductive organs, located in the scrotum, produce sperm cells and the hormone
testosterone.

Epididymis: A coiled tube where sperm mature and are stored until ejaculation.

Vas Deferens: Tubes that transport sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.

Seminal Vesicles: Glands that produce a significant portion of the fluid that makes up semen. This fluid
provides nutrients and energy for sperm.

Prostate Gland: Produces a milky fluid that mixes with sperm to form semen.

Bulbourethral Glands: Glands that produce a clear, slippery fluid that lubricates the urethra and helps
flush out any remaining urine before ejaculation.

Urethra: The tube through which both urine and semen exit the body, but not at the same time.
