The male reproductive system includes the testes (say "test-eez"), prostate
glands, sperm ducts, urethra and penis (P).
Sperm duct
During mating, sperm cells released pass through the sperm ducts.
Testes
There are two testes (one of them is called a testis). These are held in place by the
scrotum (scrotal sacks). The scrotum is a bag of tough skin. The job of the testes is to
produce millions of male cells called sperms and also to make male reproductive
hormones. This is a simple diagram of how a sperm cell looks under a microscope.
Sperm cells look a lot like tadpoles (under a microscope). During puberty, a boys
hormones affect the way his body develops.
Prostate gland
The job of the prostate gland is to secrete prostate fluid, one of the components of
semen. The mixture of sperm and fluids is called semen. The muscles of the prostate
gland also help propel this seminal fluid through the urethra and into the female
reproductive organ during ejaculation .
The urethra
This is the tube inside the male organ that carries urine or semen. It is the continuing
part of the sperm duct.
(P)
This is that thing hanging in front of every male which he pees with. The size of the
organ differs a lot for growing boys because they develop differently. An erect one for
an adult man may be about 5.7inches in length (average). The job of the 'P' is to pass
urine out of the man's body and to pass semen into the
female organ during mating.
