MALE REPRO Flashcards
ORGANIZATION what are the gonads
testes
ORGANIZATION what is the function of the gonads
- produce gamete / sex cells (sperm)
2. produce testosterone
ORGANIZATION what is the function of ducts
- sperm storage
- sperm maturation
- sperm transportation
ORGANIZATION what is the organ of copulation
penis
ORGANIZATION what is the function of accessory glands (3)
- produce seminal fluid
- secretions allow sperm to mature
- secretions allow sperm to survive
