• Testes
• Main article: Testicle

• The testes lie outside the abdominal cavity of the male within the
scrotum. They begin their development in the abdominal cavity but
descent into the scrotal sacs during the last 2 months of fetal
development. This is required for the production of sperm because
internal body temperatures are too high to produce viable sperm.

• In the body of an average male, there are two testicles located in a
sac called the scrotum. On top of these organs is the epydidimus,
the "housing area" for sperm that has been produced. The scrotum
(human variant shown) is a thin extension of the abdomen that
contains the testes and helps regulate their temperature. ...

• Penis
• Main article: Penis

• The penis has a long shaft and enlarged tip called the glans penis.
The penis is the copulatory organ of the males. When the male is
sexually aroused, the penis becomes erect and ready for
intercourse. Erection is achieved because blood sinuses within the
erectile tissue of the penis becomes filled with blood.The arteries of
the penis are dilated while the veins are passively compressed so
that blood flows into the erectile tissue under pressure. Jump to:

• Sperm & Seminal Fluid
• Main article: Sperm

• A mature sperm, or spermatozoan, has 3 distinct

parts: a head, a mid-piece, and a tail. The tail is
made up of microtubules that form cilia and
flagella, and the mid-piece contains energy-
producing mitochondria. The head contains 23
chromosomes within a nucleus. The tip of the
nucleus is covered by a cap called the
acrosome, which is believed to contain enzymes
needed to breach the egg for fertilization. A
normal human male usually produces several
hundred million sperm per day
• Ejaculation
• Main article: Ejaculation
• As sexual stimulation becomes intense, sperm
enter the urethra from the tip of the penis. Sperm
and seminal fluid together are called semen.
Once semen is in the urethra, rhythmical muscle
contractions cause it to be expelled from the
penis in spurts. During ejaculation, the bladder is
closed off so that no urine enters the urethra.
The contractions that expel semen are also a
part of male orgasms
