Chapter 7 Male Reproductive System 1
Sexual Reproduction Sexual reproduction two individuals produce offspring that have genetic characteristics from both parents Sexual reproduction introduces new gene combinations in a population. 2
Sexual Reproduction con t Sexual reproduction encompasses the fusion of two distinct gametes to form a zygote; Gametes are produced by a type of cell division called meiosis; gametes are haploid zygote is diploid male gamete (spermatozoan) female gamete (ovum) 3
Reduction Division QuickTime and a TIFF (LZW) decompressor are needed to see this picture. 4
Male Reproductive System Function Produce, sustain, and transport sperm, the male reproductive cell, and to secrete the hormone testosterone 5
Reproductive organs genitalia; genit/o 6
Male Reproductive System testis or testicle: primary male sex organs paired, oval shaped, and enclosed in a sac called the scrotum. Produces spermatozoa (sperm cells) and the hormone testosterone seminiferous tubules: up to 900 coiled tubes within the testes, where spermatogenesis occurs epididymis: a pair of coiled 20-foot tubes atop each of the testes that carry the mature sperm up to the vas deferens 7
Male Reproductive System (cont d) vas deferens: duct carrying the sperm from the epididymis to the urethra seminal vesicles: two main glands located at the base of the bladder that open into the vas deferens; secrete a thick fluid, which forms part of the semen prostate gland: encircles the upper end of the urethra; secretes a fluid that aids in the movement of the sperm and ejaculation 8
Male Reproductive System (cont d) scrotum: sac suspended on both sides of and just behind the penis (testes are enclosed in the scrotum) penis: male organ of urination or copulation (sexual intercourse) glans penis: enlarged tip on the end of the penis prepuce: fold of skin near the tip of the penis semen: composed of sperm, seminal fluids, and other secretions genitalia: reproductive organ (male or female) 9
Spermatozoon or sperm spermat/o 10
