Male Reproductive System
3D visualization of the male reproductive system reconstructed from
scanned human data. Remaining dormant until puberty, the ultimate goal
of the male reproductive system is to produce and deliver the male
gamete, sperm to the female where fertilization can occur. The male
gonads, the testes, serve two functions: to manufacture motile sperm
and produce male sex hormones. The accessory ducts serve to aid in the
delivery of sperm from its production site to the exterior of the body.
These accessory structures include the epididymis, ductus deferens and
urethra. Accessory glands, such as the prostate, seminal vesicles,
bulbourethral glands serve to produce semen which is made up of
proteins which facilitate the motility of sperm.
