Summary Introduction
To review:
The locations and functioning of the accessory sex glands like seminal vesicles, the prostate, and the bulbourethral (Cowper's) gland.
Introduction:
Male reproductive system involves organs that help in the production of sperms and participate in the formation of the embryo. The sex gland produces hormones, which help in the production of the sperms.
