FIGURE 50.1 Label the major structures of the male reproductive system ih this sagittal view.
To label:
The given figure of sagittal section of the male reproductive system.
Introduction :
The reproductive system of a male is composed of external sex organs and organs in the pelvis region that helps in the reproduction of new offspring. The production of sperm is the main motive of male reproductive system. This system includes various organs, such as, testes, penis, ducts and glands, and epididymites.
Explanation of Solution
The figure of sagittal section of the male reproductive system as shown below:
1. Ductus deferens - The ductus deferens is a tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
2. Urethra − It is a passage for sperm and urine in the male reproductive system.
3. Penis - In males, the penis is the organ to pass urine and ejaculate sperm.
4. Glans penis − It is the rounded tip at the head of the penis.
5. Prepuce − The foreskin of the penis.
6. Testis - It is a pair of glands that produce sperms. It is an important organ in the male reproductive system.
7. Scrotum − It is a sac-like structure that holds testicles.
8. Seminal vesicle - They are vesicular paired tubular glands that are present posteroinferior to the urinary bladder in males.
9. Prostate gland - The prostate gland is present in between the bladder and the penis. The function of this gland is to produce fluid to nourish sperms. It is a single gland.
10. Bulbourethral gland - Bulbourethral are the pea-shaped paired glands located below the prostate gland. The function of this gland is to add fluid to semen at the time of ejaculation.
11. Epididymis - A coiled and long tube that is located at the posterior surface of the testis is termed as epididymis. The purpose of epididymis is to store and transport sperm from the testis to the vas deferens.
