THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM


The foreskin is a fold of skin that covers the end of the penis
The testicles produce sperm cells. They are suspended inside a bag of skin called the scrotum.
The vas deferens is a tube which sperm cells travel through from the testicles to the seminal vesicles, the prostate and the urethra.
The seminal vesicles produce a liquid that becomes part of the semen.
The prostate produces a white liquid. This liquid makes up the semen.
The urethra is a tube that goes from the bladder through the prostate, and out the end of the penis. The urethra carries both semen and urine out of the body.
The penis is an elastic organ. The end of the penis is called the glans.

HOW DOES THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM WORK?
1.- First, sperm cells are produced inside the testicles.
2.- Then the vas deferens transport sperm cells from the testicles to the seminal vesicles.
3.- Next, the sperm cells are transported through the prostate into the urethra.
4.- Finally the semen travels through the urethra and out of the penis. This process is called ejaculation.
