Penis; Highly vacularised/spongy, sensitive glands. Long to allow entry into the vagina; becomes erect when blood flows to the blood spaces, testis contains numerous somniferous tubules; containing premedical germ cells for spermatogenesis takes place; the process is favored by slightly lower temperature than that o the body, contain sterol cells which nourish sperms until they are mature; Long coiled Epididymis; for storage of sperms; A muscular Vas deferens; than upon contraction pushes sperms out and allows ejaculation; to increase chances of fertilization, sperms have a tail and a head with a large number of mitochondria; to provide energy for swimming to each the egg/ovum. Seminal vesicle/cowpers glands/prostate gland; produce seminal fluid to provide a medium for sperms to swim.
