The organs and structures of the male reproductive system give men the ability to fertilise a woman's ovum (egg) to produce a baby.

Several different organs and structures make up the male reproductive system. These include the testes, where sperm is made, several ducts (tubes) where sperm is stored, and the penis. The penis has a single duct called the urethra; this releases both sperm and urine. Also included in the male reproductive system are the accessory sex glands, which include the prostate gland and seminal vesicles. These glands make special fluids, which are added to sperm as it travels through the ducts. Together the liquid is known as semen.

Hormones are also made by parts of a man's reproductive system.

The testes start developing inside the internal body cavity in a growing baby (fetus). About two months before a male baby is born, the testes start to descend into the scrotal sacs. Because they are outside the main body cavity the testes are slightly cooler. This difference in temperature helps sperm production.

The penis contains the urethra, which passes both urine and semen. There are three main parts of the penis - the root, body and glans. The root is the part attached to the lower abdomen. The body of the penis is made up of a spongy type of tissue, which swells when blood enters during an erection. The glans penis is the slightly larger area towards the end of the penis and contains the opening of the urethra.

The male sex organs, including the testes, penis, and prostate gland, have important functions in the reproductive system. The testes produce sperm and the hormone testosterone, which are necessary for reproduction. The penis is used for delivering sperm into the female reproductive system during sexual intercourse. The prostate gland produces fluid that nourishes and protects the sperm. Together, these organs work to produce and deliver sperm for fertilization, contributing to the reproductive process.
