Question

Describe the male reproductive system of humans. Draw a labelled diagram.

Answer 1

Hint: This organ system produces, maintains, and transfers sperm (male reproductive cells) and protective fluid (semen). It develops and secretes sex hormones for males.

Complete answer: The reproductive system of the organism is a biological structure made up of all the anatomical organs related to sexual reproduction.
The human reproductive system is of two types.
These are - male reproductive system and female reproductive system.
The male reproductive system produces and stores sperm; and the female reproductive system produces egg cells and protects and nourishes the foetus until birth.

Now, let us find the answer-
The external components of the male reproductive system include the penis, the scrotum and the testicles.
Penis - It is a male sexual intercourse organ. It has 3 parts - the root that is connected to the abdomen wall; the body or shaft; and the gland that is the cone-shaped end of the penis.
The gland known as the head of the penis is concealed by a thin layer of skin called the foreskin.
Scrotum - The scrotum is a loose, pouch-like skin sac that hangs behind the penis.
It contains testicles and many nerves and blood vessels.
Testicles - The testicles are oval organs of the size of very large olives that are found in the scrotum, bound at either end by a chain called a spermatic cord.
Male reproductive system has 2 testes.
Testes produce testosterone, the main male sex hormone, and sperm.
The internal organs of the male reproductive system include ejaculatory ducts, urethra, vas deferens, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral gland.
The whole male reproductive system relies on hormones.
These hormones are - luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone.

Note:The male reproductive system includes the penis, the scrotum and the testicles.
The inner organs of the male reproductive system include ejaculatory ducts, urethra, vas deferens, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral gland.
