What are the male sex organs?
The human body is a complex and fascinating machine! Discover how the male sexual organs work, both internal and external.
To remember
👉 There are internal and external organs.
👉The penis and testicles are the most well-known organs because they are visible. But even if you can't see them, the internal organs are just as important and play an essential role in reproduction.
External Sexual Organs
The Penis
It consists of three parts: the shaft (body), the glans, and the foreskin. The glans is the swollen tip at the end of the penis, and the foreskin is the small skin that covers and protects the glans.
💡The penis is an organ that provides pleasure when touched.
The Testicles
They produce and store sperm, which is contained in semen, and testosterone.
Internal Sexual Organs
The Urethra
It is a tube that runs from the bladder to a small opening at the tip of the penis, called the urinary meatus. Urine and semen pass through the urethra to exit your body.
The Epididymis
This is where sperm complete their maturation.
The Vas Deferens
It connects the epididymis and the urethra. This is the path through which sperm reaches the urethra.
The Seminal Vesicles
There are two of them. They secrete a fluid that is added to the composition of semen.
The Prostate
It also produces a fluid that is added to the composition of semen.
