    The male reproductive system includes both internal and external organs. The external organs are the penis, scrotum, and testicles. The penis is used for sexual intercourse and has three parts - the root, body/shaft, and glans. The testicles produce sperm and testosterone in coiled tubes called seminiferous tubules. Sperm mature as they move from the epididymis to the vas deferens, which stores mature sperm and transports them to the urethra for ejaculation. The urethra is the tube through which both urine and semen exit the body.

    What’s the male reproductive system?


    The male reproductive system includes a group of organs that make up a man’s
    reproductive and urinary system.
    The male reproductive system is made up of internal (inside your body) and
    external (outside your body) parts. Together, these organs help you urinate (rid
    your body of liquid waste materials), have sexual intercourse and make children.
    What are the external male reproductive structures?
    Most of the male reproductive system is located outside of your abdominal cavity
    or pelvis. The external parts of the male reproductive system include the penis, the
    scrotum and the testicles.
    Penis
    The penis is the male organ for sexual intercourse. It has three parts:
     The root: This is the part of the penis that attaches to the wall of your
    abdomen.
     The body or shaft: Shaped like a tube or cylinder, the body of the penis is
    made up of three internal chambers. Inside these chambers there’s a special,
    sponge-like erectile tissue that contains thousands of large spaces that fill
    with blood when you’re sexually aroused. As the penis fills with blood, it
    becomes rigid and erect, which allows for penetration during sex. The skin
    of the penis is loose and elastic, allowing for changes in penis size during an
    erection.
     The glans: This is the cone-shaped end of the penis. The glans, which is also
    called the head of the penis, is covered with a loose layer of skin called
    foreskin. This skin is sometimes removed in a procedure called
    circumcision.
    Testicles (testes)
      Site of sperm production
    The testes are oval organs about the size of very large olives that lie in the scrotum,
    secured at either end by a structure called the spermatic cord. Most men have two
    testes. The testes are responsible for making testosterone, the primary male sex
    hormone, and for producing sperm. Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes
    called seminiferous tubules. These tubules are responsible for producing the sperm
    cells through a process called spermatogenesis.

    Epididymis /epəˈdidəməs/

       Where sperm mature


    The epididymis /epəˈdidəməs/ is a long, coiled tube that rests on the backside of
    each testicle. It carries and stores sperm cells that are created in the testes. It’s also
    the job of the epididymis /epəˈdidəməs/ to bring the sperm to maturity — the sperm
    that emerge from the testes are immature and incapable of fertilization. During
    sexual arousal / əˈrouzl/, contractions force the sperm into the vas deferens.
    Vas Deferens

        Duct where mature sperm are stored before being transported to the urethra
    The vas deferens (singular) is also called a ductus deferens or a sperm duct. This
    long muscular tube runs from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity behind your
    bladder and connects to your urethra through a structure called the ejaculatory
    duct. Your vas deferens is surrounded by your spermatic cord and transports
    mature sperm to the urethra before you ejaculate.

    •Urethra
           Transports sperm out of the male body

    The urethra is the tube that lets urine leave your bladder and your body. If you
    were assigned male at birth, your urethra passes through your prostate and into
    your penis. If you were assigned female at birth, your urethra is much shorter. It
    runs from your bladder to open in front of your vagina.
