An Overview of the Male Reproductive System
The male reproductive system plays a crucial role in human reproduction, responsible for the production and delivery of sperm. Key organs include the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and penis. The testes produce sperm and testosterone, the hormone that regulates male secondary sexual characteristics. Sperm mature in the epididymis and travel through the vas deferens during ejaculation. The seminal vesicles and prostate gland produce seminal fluid, which combines with sperm to form semen. Understanding the anatomy and function of each component is essential for maintaining reproductive health and addressing any potential issues.
