Male reproductive system

Reproduction In Human Beings


Reproduction:- It is the biological process in which organisms give offspring for the continuity of race. A complete system is concerned to perform this function called reproductive system. Here we are going to discuss sexual reproduction in Human Beings. As we human beings are diocious i.e male and female sexes are separate

Male reproductive system in Human Beings.
Testis:- These are the primary sex organs of males, testis produce male sex cells (sperms) as well as male sex hormone testosterone. Testis lie out side the body between the lungs in a muscular pouch
called Scrotum.Scrotum maintains the temperature of testis which is below 3℃ than body temperature. Testis are two in number.

Alongside the testicles are the epididymis  and the vas deferens. which make up the duct system of the male reproductive organs. The vas deferens is a muscular tube that passes upward alongside the testicles and transports the sperm-containing fluid called semen. The epididymis is a set of coiled tubes (one for each testicle) that connects to the vas deferens.

The accessory glands, including the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland, provide fluids that lubricate the duct system and nourish the sperm. The seminal vesicles are sac-like structures attached to the vas deferens to the side of the bladder. The prostate gland, which produces some of the parts of semen, surrounds the ejaculatory ducts at the base of the urethra just below the bladder.The urethra is the channel that carries the semen to the outside of the body through the penis. The urethra is also part of the urinary system because it is also the channel through which urine passes as it leaves the bladder and exits the body.

The penis is actually made up of two parts: the shaft and the glans. The shaft is the main part of the penis and the glans is the tip (sometimes called the head). At the end of the glans is a small slit or opening, which is where semen and urine exit the body through the urethra. The inside of the penis is made of a spongy tissue that can expand and contract.

Structure and function of Neuron

Neurons (nerve cells) are the functional units of the nervous system.  A typical neuron is divided into three parts i.e Cell body or Soma,Some contains all the cell organelles like Nucleus, Mitochondria etc. Dendrites and Axon. Schwann cells of Axon are covered by Myelin Sheath. Dendrites are branched like structures on Soma. Axon terminal is also branched like structure. The signals are received from neuron by dendrites and are send to next neuron bye chemo-electrical impulses through axon. The junction between the two cells is known as Synapses.In neuron signal travels in the form of chemicals but at synapses in changes in to electrical impulses.
