The male reproductive system includes the penis, scrotum, testes,

epididymis, vas deferens, prostate, and seminal vesicles.

 The penis and the urethra are part of the urinary and
reproductive systems.
 The scrotum, testes (testicles), epididymis, vas deferens,
seminal vesicles, and prostate comprise the rest of the
reproductive system.

The penis consists of the root (which is attached to the lower abdominal
structures and pelvic bones), the visible part of the shaft, and the glans
penis (the cone-shaped end). The opening of the urethra (the channel
that transports semen and urine) is located at the tip of the glans penis.
The base of the glans penis is called the corona. In uncircumcised males,
the foreskin (prepuce) extends from the corona to cover the glans penis.
The penis includes three cylindrical spaces (blood-filled sinuses) of
erectile tissue. The two larger ones, the corpora cavernosa, lie side by
side. The third sinus, the corpus spongiosum, surrounds most of the
urethra. When these spaces fill with blood, the penis becomes large and
rigid (erect).

The scrotum is the thick-skinned sac that surrounds and protects the
testes. The scrotum also acts as a climate-control system for the testes
because they need to be slightly cooler than body temperature for
normal sperm development. The cremaster muscles in the wall of the
scrotum relax to allow the testes to hang farther from the body to cool or
contract to pull the testes closer to the body for warmth or protection.
The testes are oval bodies that average about 1.5 to 3 inches (4 to 7
centimeters) in length and 2 to 3 teaspoons (20 to 25 milliliters) in
volume. Usually the left testis hangs slightly lower than the right one. The
testes have two primary functions:
The Testes and Ovaries

 Producing sperm (which carry the man's genes)

 Producing testosterone (the primary male sex hormone)

The epididymis consists of a single coiled microscopic tube that
measures almost 20 feet (6 meters) in length. The epididymis collects
sperm from the testis and provides the environment for sperm to
mature and acquire the ability to move through the female reproductive
system and fertilize an ovum. One epididymis lies against each testis.
Male Reproductive Organs

The vas deferens is a firm tube (the size of a strand of spaghetti) that
transports sperm from the epididymis. One such duct travels from each
epididymis to the back of the prostate and joins with one of the two
seminal vesicles. In the scrotum, other structures, such as muscle fibers,
blood vessels, and nerves, also travel along with each vas deferens and
together form an intertwined structure, the spermatic cord.
The urethra serves a dual function in males. This channel is the part of
the urinary tract that transports urine from the bladder and the part of
the reproductive system through which semen is ejaculated.
The prostate lies just under the bladder and surrounds the urethra.
Walnut-sized in young men, the prostate enlarges with age. When the
prostate enlarges too much, it can block urine flow through the urethra
and cause bothersome urinary symptoms.
The seminal vesicles, located above the prostate, join with the vas
deferens to form the ejaculatory ducts, which travel through the
prostate. The prostate and the seminal vesicles produce fluid that
nourishes the sperm. This fluid provides most of the volume of semen,
the fluid in which the sperm is expelled during ejaculation. Other fluid
that makes up a very small amount of the semen comes from the vas
deferens and from Cowper glands in the urethra.
