-Prostate -Bulbourethral |
| Organ that delivers semen to the female reproductive tract | Penis |
| Site of testosteron | Testes |
| Passageway from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct | ductus (vas) deferens |

| Organs that contribute to the formation of semen | testes, bulbourerthral glands, prostate, seminal vesicles |
| External skin sac that houses the testes | scrotum |
| Tubular storage site for sperm; hugs the lateral aspect of the testes | Epididymis |
| Cuff of skin encircling the glans penis | Prepuce |
| Surrounds the urethra at the base of the bladder; produces a milky fluid | Prostate gland |
| Produces over half of the seminal fluid | Seminal vesicles |
| Produces a lubricating mucus that cleanses the urethra | Bulbourethral glands |
| Connective tissue sheath enclosing the ductus deferens, blood vessels, and nerves | Scrotum |
