Reproductive Systems of Farm Animals, Mammals and Poultry
Reproduction can be defined as the process through which living organisms give birth to young ones. It involves mating, after which the male sperm is united to the female ovum to form zygote.The Male Reproductive System
The male reproductive system is made up of the primary sex character (testes) and the secondary sex character which consist of the scrotum, cowpers gland, prostate gland, seminal vesicle, urethra, penis, vas deferens and spermatic ducts.
Functions of Various Parts of Male Reproductive System
Testes: They are located within the scrotum or scrotal sac. When stimulated by the male hormone called testosterone, it secrets spermatozoa. Scrotum: This helps to house the testes. It regulates the temperature of the testes at 4⁰C less than the body temperature. Vas deferens: This is responsible for conducting sperm from the epididymis to the neck of the urethra.You are viewing an excerpt of this lesson.
