What are the functions of
the different parts of male
reproductive system?

16
TESTIS
- oval-shaped organ
inside the
SCROTUM
- male gonad
- composed of
seminiferous
tubules
17
18
SCROTUM
- pouch of skin that hangs between the
legs outside the body
- where the testis is located
- Has low temperature (1-3 degrees
Celsius) than the internal body
temperature
19
SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES

- Produce sperm
via
spermatogenesis

20
21
PARTS OF A MATURE SPERM
CELL

22
HEAD
- made up of nucleus covered by
acrosome
*Acrosome = store enzymes needed by
sperm cell to penetrate an egg cell during
fertilization

23
MIDPIECE
- contains mitochondria that supplies
energy need to propel the sperm through
the female reproductive system.

24
TAIL
- Long, slender structure that whips back
and forth enabling the sperm to move.

How does a
sperm cell move
out of the
seminiferous
tubules and out
of the testis?
30
31
32
EPIDIDYMIS
- long coiled-tube
- where sperms will mature until they are
capable of swimming and moving
- where most of the sperm are stored

33
34
VAS DEFERENS
- Sperm will travel from the
epididymis into this long tube which
is presently close to the testis

35
36
TRANSPORTATION OF
SPERMS
- During their passage through the
urethra, sperm mix with the fluids
produced by neighboring glands
(prostate gland, seminal vesicles,
bubourethral glands)
37
 Gland Function of Secretion
Seminal Vesicle Fluid rich in sugars that sperm cells use for
energy

Prostate Gland Alkaline fluid that neutralizes the acids in

the female reproductive system

Bulbourethral Alkaline fluid that neutralizes traces of

glands acidic urine in the urethra

38
 SEMEN

39
40
URETHRA
- Carries sperm and urine, releases it
outside the male body through the
penis

41
42
PENIS
- Thick muscular organ
- Tube-like structure that delivers sperm
to the female reproductive system
during sexual intercourse or copulation.
- During sexual excitation, blood rushes
into the penis, making it rigid and erect.
43
How does sperm exit the penis?
EJACULATION – the forceful expulsion of
the sperm out of the male body.
*3.5 ml of semen is expelled during this
process, containing 300-400 million sperm
cells or about 5-10 million in one drop

NOTE: only few reach the egg cell

44
45
46
TRANSPORTATION OF SPERM
1. The sperm cells are produced in the sertoli
cells.
2. The immature sperm cells will move out
from the semiferous tubules.
3. The sperm cells will travel through the rete
testis.

47
TRANSPORTATION OF SPERM
4. The sperm cells will leave the testis through
the efferent ductile.
5. The immature sperm cells will undergo the
process of maturation in the epididymis.
6. The sperm cells will travel through the
ductus deferens/vas deferens.

48
TRANSPORTATION OF SPERM
7. The sperm cells reach the ejaculatory duct.
8. The accessory glands will provide fluids to
the sperm cells.
9. The sperm cells will travel through the
urethra and finally out from the male
reproductive system.
