The Male Reproductive System

The Male Reproductive System
To aid in understanding the anatomy of the male sex organs, please refer to the accompanying drawings. There are three basic male sex organs:
1. The penis, with its glands and tissues
2. The testicles, also called the gonads or sex glands

3. The prostate gland, and seminal vesicles

In this view of the reproductive organs, notice the relationship between them, paying special attention to the vas deferens and its ready accessibility in the scrotum. It can be squeezed between thumb and fingers and feels like a small cord. A section of it may be easily removed in the vasectomy operation.
