All men should be fully aware of the structure and functions of their reproductive system, because this can prevent the occurrence of several health problems. If you know how your body functions you will know how to protect it and keep it healthy. So I’ll be sharing some hopefully useful information about he male reproductive system in this video.

The male sexual organs have two main functions. One is to produce sperms for the purpose of reproduction. Two is to produce the male hormones, mainly the testosterone. You are able to reproduce because your brain makes certain hormones that stimulate your reproductive system to produce sperms and testosterone.

Using this model I will explain the structure and function of each organ in the male reproductive system. Most sexual male organs are present outside the body, and this requires more caution so as to protect them from harm.

Starting with the testes – you normally have two of them. And they are responsible for producing mainly the male hormone testosterone. They are present in a sack outside the body, known as the scrotum. The scrotum maintains a lower temperature and contains smooth muscles. When you are sick or feverish, this muscles work to distance the testes away from your trunk, or, so to say the centre of your body, so that the testes remain at a cooler temperature, which is important to preserve a healthy sperm production process. That’s why I’d advise men to avoid sitting for long periods of time with the laptop or notebook on their laps; because it decreases the sperm activity and may cause infertility due to exposure to thermal radiation from those computers.

A small tube knows as the epididymis arises from each testis. Its function is to store the fresh sperms until their maturation. The testis is surrounded by a network of blood vessels, in which some patients might suffer from varicose veins that could affect their fertility. The epididymis is important for sperm maturation and transport from the testis to the penis. Let me show you its course. It starts from right behind the testis and moves upwards, winding around the urinary bladder and then goes into this gland, know as the prostate. The prostate, together with the small neighbouring glands called the seminal vesicles, secrete a sugary fluid in which the sperms swim. This fluid nourishes sperms and allows for the transport thru the urethra within the penis, and finally to the outside of the body.

Concerning the penis; it actually starts from the inside of your body, here. You will notice that there’s a large part of it present inside the abdomen. And there is its outer part. So anatomically the penis is formed from three parts: the root of the penis, inside the abdomen, the body of the penis, and the head of the penis, which contains a small opening for passing urine and semen. Inside the penis you will notice a spongy structure that contains numerous small blood vessels, which get filled with blood; and as a result, erection occurs. So erection is actually a collection of retained blood within the penis. That’s why if you’d like to have a stronger erection you should maintain a healthy state of your blood vessels. How? By living a healthy lifestyle, doing regular exercise, avoiding eating unhealthy fats and avoiding smoking. As you can see, the end of the penis has a bulging end, which is called the head of the penis; and this contains numerous nerve endings responsible for sexual pleasure.
