REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
Of male and Female
Morphological & Physiological Structure of Male &
Female Reproductive System
FUNCTION
The male reproductive system differs from the
female reproductive system in both morphology
and physiological makeup.
FUNCTION
The functions of the internal and external
components vary, as do their sizes and shapes.
Despite certain differences, the reproductive
system's components and operations are
synchronized.
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Their parts and functions
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
● Urethra - is the tube that passes through
the penis to the outside of the body which
carries urine and sperm.
● Penis - is a soft, tubular organ that hangs
in front of the body.
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
● Testes – are made up of coiled tubules in
which the sperm are produced. They
produce the male sex hormones called
testosterone for the making of sperm.
● Epididymis - is a coiled J-shaped tube
located on the back of each testicle.
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
• Vas Deferens - is the tube that
receives sperm from the
epididymis of each testicle.
• Scrotum - is a pouch of skin
that hangs from the penis
which houses the testes and
produces the sperm.

Sperm Cell
• A unique structure located in the
testis.
• Fertilizes the egg.
• Males have 2 testes found inside
the scrotum.
• Produces millions of sperm cells.
• Sperm cells which come from the
testes, then travels to the
epididymis.
Sperm Cell
• Sperm cells release and move
along the vas deferens.
• Along the way, sperms combine
with nutrient secretions from the
prostate gland and seminal
vesicles. This mixture is called
semen.
• The semen then transports into the
urethra and out of the penis.

● These are specialized somatic cells that
surround the oocyte within the follicle. Follicle
cells are also known as granulosa cells.
