The Reproductive System, , By Jennifer Kenny, , , , Human reproduction is the process of producing a, new human being. This new human is created through the, combining of « human sperm and egg, Let's take a closer, look at the male's reproductive system., , * The male reproductive system has two very, important jobs, First of all, it produces sperm. Second, of all, it delivers the sperm to the female reproductive, system., , 3 Sperm are produced in the male bedy in the testes. Men have two testes,, which rest in the scrotum, a sac that hangs from the body. Each testis has tubes, colled seminiferous tubules where, beginning at puberty, several hundred million, sperm are produced each day, The sperm are stored and mature in the epididymis, Another tube passes from each epididymis into the body. It is called a vas, deferens. The sperm swim through this tube and mix with fluids from several, glands, creating a mixture called semen,, , * Inorder for the sperm from the male to join with an egg from the female, the, sperm has to leave the male body, In order to do that, the semen goes from the, vas deferens into the urethra, The urethra ina male runs through his penis. The, penis is a male organ that has two roles, It removes urine as part of the excretory, system. In terms of the reproductive system, the penis’s job is to release semen, into the female's reproductive system during sexual intercourse, The two, functions of the penis (urination and ejaculation) cannot occur at the same time,
