Question
Chapter 46, Problem 1SYK
Summary Introduction
To create: A simple flow diagram to trace the path of a human sperm from the point of production to the point of fertilization and to describe the functions of the structure where the sperm passes.
Introduction: The male reproductive system is present at the exterior of the pelvis or abdominal cavity. This system is divided into two organ systems namely external male productive organ and internal male reproductive organ. The external organs include penis, scrotum, and testicles, and the internal organs include vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and urethra. The functions of this system highly depend on the action of various hormones namely tropic hormones and sex hormones.
