the male has reproductive organs, or genitals, that are both inside and outside the pelvis. The male genitals include:
the testicles
the duct system, which is made up of the epididymis and the vas deferens
the accessory glands, which include the seminal vesicles and prostate gland
the penis
In a guy who has reached sexual maturity, the two testicles (or testes) produce and store millions of tiny sperm cells. The testicles are oval-shaped and grow to be about 2 inches (5 centimeters) in length and 1 inch (3 centimeters) in diameter. The testicles are also part of the endocrine system because they produce hormones, including testosterone. Testosterone is a major part of puberty in boys, and as a guy makes his way through puberty, his testicles produce more and more of it. Testosterone is the hormone that causes boys to develop deeper voices, bigger muscles, and body and facial hair, and it also stimulates the production of sperm.

The human reproductive system functions to produce human offspring with the male providing sperm and the female providing the ovum.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE[ edit ]
Summarize the reproductive systems
KEY POINTS[ edit ]
The male reproductive system consists of external organs. The testes in the scrotum produce the male gamete, sperm, which is ejaculated in seminal fluid by the penis.
The female reproductive consists of primarily internal organs. The female gamete, ovum, is produced in the ovaries, but upon release, once monthly, the ovum travels via the fallopian tube to the uterus.
Fertilization can occur if the penis is inserted through the vulva into the vagina and the sperm is ejaculated towards the cervix. Sperm that manages to get through the cervix then has the opportunity to fertilize an ovum.
Once fertilized, an ovum becomes a zygote, and, if all goes well, develops into a fetus in the uterus.

Natural birth occurs when the fetus is pushed from the vagina after nine months in the uterus.
