Parts and their functions
- Testes (वृषण) — Make sperm and the male hormone (puberty changes in boys).
- Scrotum (वृषणकोष) — Skin pouch that keeps the testes slightly cooler than body temperature — needed for sperm formation.
- Vas deferens (शुक्रवाहिका) — Long tube carrying sperm from the testis to the urethra. Blocking it is a surgical birth-control method.
- Seminal vesicles (शुक्राशय) — Add fluid that nourishes sperm and helps them move.
- Prostate gland (प्रोस्टेट ग्रंथि) — Adds fluid that keeps sperm active.
- Urethra (मूत्रमार्ग) — Common passage for urine and sperm.
- Penis (शिश्न) — Carries the urethra; transfers sperm into the female body.
