Abstract
The male genital tract consists of the testes, a ductal system and accessory glands. Sperm is produced in the testes and, combined with the fluids produced by the sex accessory organs, moves through the sperm ducts to reach the female reproductive tract. The chapter summarizes the anatomy and development of the male genital tract and the physiology of sperm production.
