| Sperm | male gamete or sex cell produced in the testes that unites with the oocyte in the female to produce offspring |
| Penis | erectile tissue |
| Epididymis | coiled duct on the top and at the side of the testis that stores sperm before emission |
| Glans penis | bulging structure at the distal end of the penis |
| Prepuce | oosing casing that covers the glans penis; removed by circumcision |
| Vas deferens | duct that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct |
| Seminal vesicle | one of two sac-like structures behind the bladder and connected to the vas deferens on each side |
| Semen | a mixture of the secretions of the testes, seminal vessels, prostate, and bulbourethral glands discharged from the male urethra during orgasm |
| Ejaculatory duct | duct formed by the union of the (vas) deferens with the duct of the seminal vesicle; its fluid is carried into the urethra |
| Prostate gland | trilobular gland that encircles the urethra just below the bladder and secretes an alkaline fluid into the semen |
| Bulbourethral glands | pair of glands below the prostate, with ducts opening into the urethra, that adds a viscid (sticky) fluid to the semen |

| erectile dysfunction | failure to initiate or maintain an erection until ejaculation because of physical or psychological dysfunction; formerly termed impotence |
| hydrocele | hernia of fluid in the testis or in the tubes leading from the testis |
| hypospadias | congenital abnormal opening of the male urethra on the undersurface of the penis |
| Peyronie's disease | a disorder characterized by a buildup of hardened fibrous tissue in the corpus cavernosum, causing pain and a defective curvature of the penis, especially during erection |
| phimosis | a narrowed condition of the prepuce (foreskin) resulting in its inability to be drawn over the glans penis, often leading to infection |
