📖 1. Male reproductive system

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

Male reproductive system: biological structure responsible for producing healthy sperm and delivering them to the female reproductive system for fertilization.

Sperm production: process within the male reproductive system that results in the creation of sperm cells, which are haploid cells containing half the genetic material needed for human development.

Sperm delivery: the mechanism by which sperm are transported from the male reproductive system into the female reproductive system, facilitating fertilization.

Haploid cells: reproductive cells that contain only one set of chromosomes, representing half of the genetic material necessary to form a human being.

Diploid cell: a cell with a complete set of chromosomes, formed when haploid sperm and ovum combine during fertilization.
