To maintain the temperature 2-3°C lower than the body temperature, the scrotum is located outside the body cavity.
2. epididymis
The epididymis stores sperms temporarily.
3. vas deferens
Each epididymis continues further as a sperm duct or vas deferens.
4. Seminal vesicles
The seminal vesicles produce a secretion which is responsible for the transport of sperm.
5. Prostate gland
It is a bilobed structure which surrounds the urethra.
It pours an alkaline secretion into the semen.
6. Cowper’s glands
These are two small ovoid glands.
They open into the urethra.
