The male reproductive system is a group of organs that work together in a male to allow him to have offspring.


A diagram of the Male reproductive system.

In mammals the male reproductive system is adapted to make sperm cells and give them to the female for fertilisation.

There are several organs in the male reproductive system that you should know:

Testes - Where the sperm are made.
Sperm Duct - A tube connecting the testes to the urethra.
Glands - An organ that produces fluid to be added to the sperm to make Semen.
Urethra - A tube starting at the bladder and going through the penis allowing semen to come out of the penis.
Penis - The organ that is inserted into the vagina during intercourse.
