1. Male External Structures

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Penis: The external organ composed of erectile tissue that facilitates sexual intercourse, urination, and ejaculation. It includes the glans penis (tip) and is often covered by the foreskin in uncircumcised males.

  • Scrotum: A pouch of skin and muscle that encloses the testes, functioning to regulate testicular temperature (around 34-35°C) essential for optimal sperm production.

  • Testes (Testicles): Paired oval organs located within the scrotum that produce sperm (spermatogenesis) and secrete testosterone, the primary male sex hormone.

  • Foreskin (Prepuce): A fold of skin covering the glans penis in uncircumcised males, which can be surgically removed via circumcision.

  • Erectile Tissue: Spongy tissue within the penis that fills with blood during an erection, enabling penetration during sexual activity.
