Humans exhibit sexual dimorphism, i.e., male and female individuals are differentiated externally. Both male and female
reproductive systems have evolved according to their respective functions and contributions in the events of human reproduction.

The male reproductive system comprises of :

• Primary sex organs, i.e., testes that produce gametes as well as sex hormones.


• Accessory ducts which play an important role in storage and transport of male gametes.


• Accessory glands which include a pair of seminal vesicles, a pair of bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s gland) and one prostate gland.


• External genitalia which includes penis.
