    The vas deferens transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts. During ejaculation, the sympathetic nervous system causes the smooth muscles in the walls of the vas deferens to contract peristaltically, propelling sperm forward into the urethra. The vas deferens is supplied by arteries and helps prepare the male anatomy for ejaculation by moving sperm through the urethra.

    Function of Vas Deferens

    The main function of vas deferens is in transporting the spermatozoa from the epididymis
    all the way to the ejaculatory ducts. The sympathetic nervous system during ejaculation
    innervates the muscular layers of the ductus deferens causing them to generate strong
    peristaltic contractions to assist in the propulsion of the spermatozoa. Consequently, the
    vas deferens transports nature sperms to the urethra hence helps to prepare for
    ejaculation.

    The smooth muscles in the walls of the vas deferens during ejaculation reflexively
    contract causing sperms to move forward. This is peristalsis. Sperms are passed from vas
    deferens into the urethra mixing partially with the secretions from the male accessory
    glands such as the prostate glands, seminal vesicles and the bulbourethral glands.

    The ductus deferens is rendered with an artery of vas deferens which emerges from the
    superior or inferior vesical artery.
    The main functions of the penis include reproduction and urination. Penises vary in
    length, girth, and appearance but mostly all have the same anatomy, which allows them
    to perform their functions.
    Knowing the anatomy and function of the penis is important for good health. Noticing
    any changes in the appearance, sensation, or performance of the penis can indicate an
    underlying issue that may require medical attention.

    The penis is the male copulatory organ. The term penis typically refers to the root, body,
    and glans of the genitals. The rest of the male sexual anatomy includes other external
    parts such as the scrotum, and internal parts such as the testicles.
    The penis contains soft, spongy tissue as well as muscles, fibrous tissue, veins, arteries,
    and the urethra. These allow the penis to perform its functions.

    Functions
    The 2 main functions of the penis include sexual intercourse and micturition (urination).
    When a person experiences arousal, the penis fills with blood, causing an erection. As
    such, erectile function is closely related to cardiovascular health.
    The rigidity of the erection enables a person to penetrate a partner and have sex.
    Following sexual activity or manual stimulation, a person can then ejaculate. After
    ejaculation or loss of arousal, the penis can return to a flaccid state.
    The penis also plays an important urinary role. The penis contains the urethra, which
    allows passage of urine from the bladder to the urethral opening, enabling a person to
    expel urine from the body.
    The cervix is the opening to the uterus and is connected to the vagina. It allows the sperm
    cells to pass and be directed into the uterus for possible fertilization of the egg in the
    fallopian tube.

    (definition)
    The cervix connects the body of the uterus to the vagina. Part of the lining of the cervix
    contains glands that make and release mucus. For most of the menstrual cycle and during
    pregnancy, the mucus is thick and stops sperm from entering the uterus.

    The lower, narrow end of the uterus that forms a canal between the uterus and vagina.

    Lowermost part of the uterus is made up of strong muscles.

    (functions)
    The cervix is a passage that allows fluids to flow inside and out of the uterus. It’s also a
    powerful gatekeeper that can open and close in ways that make pregnancy and childbirth
    possible.

    Allow flow of menstrual blood from the uterus into the vagina, and direct the sperms into
    the uterus during intercourse.

    Opening of the cervix is normally very narrow, but this opening widens to about 4 inches
    (10 cm) during labor, to allow the birth of a baby.

    Cervical mucus is a fluid produced by the cervix. Your cervical mucus changes
    throughout your menstrual cycle. Wet and slippery cervical mucus indicates fertility. This
    type of discharge makes it easy for sperm to swim to an egg at ovulation.
