#male_reproductive_system the reproductive system of males
supertype: #reproductive_system__genital_system__genitalsystem organs and tissues involved in the production and maturation of gametes and in their union and subsequent development as offspring
part of: #male_body
part: #prostate_gland__prostate a firm partly muscular chestnut sized gland in males at the neck of the urethra; produces a viscid secretion that is the fluid part of semen
part: #sperm_cell__spermcell__sperm__spermatozoon__spermatozoan the male reproductive cell; the male gamete
part: #flagellum long lash-like appendage used for locomotion (e.g., in sperm cells and some protozoa)
part: #acrosome a process at the anterior end of a sperm cell that produces enzymes to facilitate penetration of the egg
part: #male_genitalia__male_genitals__male_genital_organ__family_jewels external male sex organs
part: #scrotum the external pouch that contains the testes
part: #raphe__rhaphe a ridge that forms a seam between two parts
part: #seminal_duct__seminalduct the efferent duct of the testis in man
part: #epididymis a convoluted tubule in each testis; carries sperm to vas deferens
part: #vasa_efferentia the several highly convoluted tubules that lead from the rete testis to the vas deferens and form the head of the epididymis
part: #vas_deferens__ductus_deferens a duct that carries spermatozoa from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct
part: #ejaculatory_duct__ejaculatoryduct a part of the seminal duct formed by the duct from the seminal vesicle and the vas deferens; passes through the prostate gland
part: #testis__testicle__orchis__ball__ballock__bollock__nut one of the two male reproductive glands that produce spermatozoa and secrete androgens; "she kicked him in the balls and got away"
part: #testicular_artery__internal_spermatic_artery__arteria_testicularis a branch of the aorta supplying the testicles
part: #testicular_vein__vena_testicularis a vein from the testicles
part: #seminiferous_tubule any of the numerous long convoluted tubules in the testis which are the sites where spermatozoa mature
part: #epididymis a convoluted tubule in each testis; carries sperm to vas deferens
part: #rete_testis network of tubules carrying sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the vasa efferentia
part: #vas_deferens__ductus_deferens a duct that carries spermatozoa from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct
part: #spermatic_cord__spermaticcord a structure resembling a cord that suspends the testis within the scrotum and contains the vas deferens and other vessels and nerves
part: #male_reproductive_gland the reproductive organs of a man
part: #penis__peni__phallus__phallu__member the male organ of copulation (`member' is a euphemism)
part: #glans_penis__glanspeni the conical mass of erectile tissue that forms the head of the penis
part: #vena_bulbi_penis vein of the head of the penis; tributary of the internal pudendal vein that drains the perineum
part: #urethra duct through which urine is discharged in most mammals and which serves as the male genital duct
part: #urethral_orifice__external_orifice the orifice through which urine is discharged
part: #urethral_sphincter__musculus_sphincter_urethrae a striated sphincter muscle that constricts the urethra
part: #prepuce a fold of skin covering the tip of the penis
part: #Cowper's_gland__bulbourethral_gland__bulbourethralgland either of two glands that discharge a component of seminal fluid into the urethra; homologous to Bartholin's gland in the female
part: #testis__testicle__orchis__ball__ballock__bollock__nut one of the two male reproductive glands that produce spermatozoa and secrete androgens; "she kicked him in the balls and got away"
part: #vas_deferens__ductus_deferens a duct that carries spermatozoa from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct
part: #penis__peni__phallus__phallu__member the male organ of copulation (`member' is a euphemism)
part: #seminal_vesicle__seminalvesicle adds nutrient fluid to semen during ejaculation
