name various gland associated with Male reproductive system and explain?
Answers
Answer:
The male reproductive system includes external (penis, scrotum, epididymus, and testes) and internal (accessory) organs.
The organs of the male reproductive system are specialized for three primary functions:
To produce, maintain, transport, and nourish sperm (the male reproductive cells), and protective fluid ( semen ).
To discharge sperm within the female reproductive tract.
To produce and secrete male sex hormones.
External Male Sex Organs
Most of the male reproductive system is located outside of the man’s body. These external structures are the penis, scrotum, epididymis, and testes.
This diagram of the male reproductive system indicates the bladder, pubic bone, puboprostatic ligament, suspensory ligament of penis, perineal membrane, penis, external urethral sphincter, glans penis, foreskin, urethral opening, corpus cavernosum, scrotum, testes, vas deferens, anus, Cowper's gland, epididymis, prostate gland, ejaculatory duct, seminal vesicle, rectum, and sigmoid colon.

The penis is the male organ for sexual intercourse and urination. Semen and urine leave the penis through the urethra. The scrotum is a loose, pouch-like sack of skin that hangs behind the penis, containing the testes.
The scrotum has a protective function, including the maintenance of optimal temperatures for sperm survival and function. For sperm development, the testes must maintain a temperature slightly cooler than normal body temperature. Special muscles in the wall of the scrotum contract and relax in order to move the testes near the body.
a) BULBOURETHRAL GLAND. secretions of this gland provides lubrication to penis and sperm in the vagina of female.
b) SEMINAL VESICLE AND PROSTATE GLAND. secretions of these glands are rich in fructose, calcium and certain enzymes giving the nutrition to sperm.
c) TESTIS. this gland secretes sperms along with testosterone which is main male hormone responsible for adolescent changes.
