    The Male Reproductive System

    M.A.Kubtan 2
    Objectives
    After studying this chapter, you will be able to:

    • Name the parts of the male reproductive system


    and discuss the function of each part

    • Define combining forms used in building words


    that relate to the male reproductive system

    • Identify the meaning of related abbreviations

    • Name the common diagnoses, clinical


    procedures, and laboratory tests used in treating
    the male reproductive system
    M.A.Kubtan 3
    Objectives Part 2
    • List and define the major pathological
    conditions of the male reproductive system

    • Explain the meaning of surgical terms related to


    the male reproductive system

    • Recognize common pharmacological agents


    used in treating the male reproductive system

    M.A.Kubtan 4
    Sex Cells
    The Male Reproductive System
    • The sex cells (spermatozoa) or
    sperm are produced in the male
    gonads or testes.

    • Scrotum is a sac located outside


    the body that houses the testes.

    • Spermatogenesis requires a
    lower temperature than body
    temperature for safe
    development of sperm.
    M.A.Kubtan 5
    Testosterone
    The Male Reproductive System
    • Testosterone is the main male
    hormone

    • Epididymis is located at the top


    of each testes which are a group
    of ducts that store sperm

    being fertilized by a single sperm.
    Fraternal twins are the result of two sperm fertilizing two
    ova.
