The male reproductive system consists of a group of internal and external organs. The internal organs are Vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, prostate gland, urethra and seminal vesicles. The external organs which are located on the exterior part of the body are the penis, testes, scrotum and epididymis.
The male reproductive system helps in the production, maintenance and transport of sperm and semen. It also produces and secretes reproductive hormones. The male reproductive system also helps in the discharge of sperm into the female reproductive tract.
Male reproductive hormones are mostly produced in the testes. They include Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH) and Testosterone. The hormones are relatively constant from the beginning of puberty through the reproductive years but reduce in level in old age. These hormones help in the development of male sex characteristics and the production of sperm cells in the testes.
