Detailed explanation-1: -The prostate’s most important function is the production of a fluid that, together with sperm cells from the testicles and fluids from other glands, makes up semen. The muscles of the prostate also ensure that the semen is forcefully pressed into the urethra and then expelled outwards during ejaculation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vas Deferens, Spermatic Cord These narrow ducts have thick, muscular walls composed of smooth muscle, which reflexly contract during ejaculation and propel sperm forward. The muscle layers of the pelvic wall have been separated to show the spermatic cord as it passes through the inguinal canal.
Detailed explanation-3: -When ejaculation occurs, sperm is forcefully expelled from the tail of the epididymis into the deferent duct. Sperm then travels through the deferent duct through up the spermatic cord into the pelvic cavity, over the ureter to the prostate behind the bladder.
Detailed explanation-4: -The vas deferens (sperm duct) transports mature sperm to your urethra before ejaculation.
Detailed explanation-5: -The urethra is the channel that carries the sperm (in fluid called semen) to the outside of the body through the penis. The urethra is also part of the urinary system because it is also the channel through which pee passes as it leaves the bladder and exits the body.
