| Prepuce (foreskin) | skin covering the glans penis |
| Dartos muscle | helps adjust the position of the testes relative to the body to keep the temperature about 2-4 degrees lower than normal body temperature |
| Seminiferous tubules | functional unit of the testes; long tubes that produce sperm cells. |
| Epididymis | long flattened tubule attached to the superior portion of the testis; functions as a holding area for sperm to mature, transports sperm to ductus deferens |
| Spermatic cord | cord connected to the testes; made up of ductus deferens, testicular blood vessels, nerves, cremaster muscle, and lymph vessels. |
| Ductus deferens | ciliated tube that conducts sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. |
| Seminal vesicles | glands located posterior and inferior to the urinary bladder, produce and secrete and alkaline fluid that makes up about 60% of the total volume of semen |
| Ejaculatory duct | small duct formed after the union of the ductus deferens and the duct from the seminal vesicle; carries semen to urethra |
| Prostate gland | contracts to force semen out during ejaculation; produces alkaline fluid that makes up about 35% of semen volume |
| Bulbourethral gland | pea sized; below prostate gland; produces lubricating fluid released on excitation to clear out urine residue, about 3% of semen volume |
| Follicle | small cavity in the ovary that stores the ovum; stimulates ovum to mature in response to certain hormones |
| Uterine tubes (fallopian tubes) | ciliated tubes that transport ova from the ovaries to the uterus; most common site for fertilization |
| Fimbriae | fingerlike projections of the uterine tubes that surround the ovaries; sweep ovum into the open end of the uterine tube. |
| Perimetrium (metra=uterus) | outer serosal tissue surrounding the uterus |
| Myometrium | middle smooth muscle layer of the uterus |
| Endometrium | inner mucosal layers of the uterus; one of these layers, the stratum functionale, is shed every month and becomes the menses |
| Fundus of the uterus | bulge at the top of the uterus |
| Cervix | inferior portion of the uterus that protrudes down into the vagina |
