Male Reproductive System Epididymus • Upper part of the testes • Secretes and stores semen • Provides passageway for sperm Ductus Deferens • Carries sperm from the epidiymis through the pelvic region to the urethra Accessory Glands • Seminal vesicles- nourishment • Prostate gland- motility • Bulbourethral Glands- protection
