• Prostate Gland: a man’s gland that helps make semen.

• Cowper’s Glands: behind the base of the penis which secretes fluid to make semen and neutralize acid during sexual excitement.

• Ejaculatory duct: a short straight tube that passes into the prostate gland and opens into the urethra.

• Urethra: a tube that connects with the vas deferentia to carry sperm cells out of the body.

• Epididymis: the structure that forms a mass over the back and upper part of each testes.

• Vas Deferens (singular): two tubes

leading from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles.• Seminal Vesicles: two

pouch-like structures which serve to store mature sperm until ejaculated.

Swimming for your lifeA sperm is a tiny package with a big responsibility – to

fertilize the egg and create a human life. So that tiny package is loaded with “gear” for its important journey.

A few facts:• Daily sperm production by a healthy man:

10 million to 50 million• Contents of average ejaculation:

50 million sperm; 25 million moving; 20 million deformed• Maturation: 72 days• Average swimming speed of a sperm:

8 inches per hour• Survival time in a woman: 3 to 5 days

Fertilization• Fertilization is the union of the sperm and the

ovum, or egg.• This occurs around the time of ovulation in a

women.– The egg is capable of being fertilized for about 12-24 hours

after ovulation.– The sperm can live inside a woman’s body for up to 5 days.

• This occurs in the fallopian tube.• As soon as the ovum is fertilized, it is called a

zygote.
