Answer 2

Scrotum

Question 3

Testes

Question 4

this is a highly coiled tube that lies at the back of the testes. All sperm from the testes must pass through here, where they mature and start to ‘swim’.

Answer 4

Epididymis

Question 5

this is a thick-walled tube joined to the epididymis. It carries sperm from the epididymis up to the prostate gland and urethra

Answer 5

Vas deferens

Question 6

this is a walnut-sized gland that sits in the middle of the pelvis. The urethra runs through the middle of it. It produces the fluid secretions that support and nourish the sperm.

Answer 6

Prostate Gland

Question 7

this is a tube that extends from the
bladder to the external opening at the end of the penis. It carries both urine and sperm

Answer 7

Urethra

Question 8

crucial for the development and
maintenance of male reproductive
tissues and secondary sexual
characteristics.

capable of fertilizing an egg during
sexual reproduction
