Accepted Answer

The working of the male reproductive system.

The male reproductive system parts are testes, epididymis, vas deference, urethra, penis, prostate, and seminal vesicles.

Testes: Two testes lie outside the abdominal cavity in a sac-like structure called the scrotum. These oval-shaped testes produce sperms along with the male sex hormone, testosterone.

Epididymis: It is a coiled tube in which the sperms are stored temporarily and undergo maturation.

Vas deferens: It is a tube that takes the sperms from the epididymis to the urethra.

Urethra: It is a tube that carries the sperm outside through the penis.

The prostate gland and Seminal vesicles: These glands pour their secretion into vas deference that provides nutrition to the sperms and facilitates their transport. Sperms, along with the secretions of these glands, form the semen.

Penis: This carries the semen from a male's body to the reproductive tract of a female.
