Male reproductive organs include the scrotum, testes, epididymis, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, spermatic cords, ejaculatory ducts, Cowper’s gland, urethra, prostrate and penis. Each organ has a different function, but their main and collective function is the production of male gametes and the production of semen.
